JOINT BASE LEWIS-McCHORD, Wash. - Staff Sergeant Danika Nolan's date is a few weeks away, and she's preparing for the transition at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
As part of a group of about 30 task candidates, she went to an employing fair Jan. 30 that showcased Washington State profession opportunities at JBLM's Hawk Career Center.
"I just try to take benefit of all the resources and services that the (Transition Assistance Program) Center needs to use, simply to make certain I'm as prepared as possible," she stated.
The focus of the task fair on state work, rather than employment in various markets, made it different than others on the installation. Sponsored by the Veterans Employee Resource Group, WorkSource and the TAP, it started with a panel of veterans from state companies, who shared their experiences and responded to questions. Following the panel, recruiters from state agencies were available to answer hiring questions, said Frank Handoe, deputy shift services supervisor for the TAP.
