JOINT BASE LEWIS-McCHORD, Wash. - Staff Sergeant Danika Nolan's military exit date is a couple of weeks away, and she's getting ready for the transition at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
As part of a group of about 30 job applicants, she went to a hiring fair Jan. 30 that showcased Washington State profession opportunities at JBLM's Hawk Career Center.
"I just attempt to take advantage of all the resources and services that the (Transition Assistance Program) Center needs to use, just to ensure I'm as prepared as possible," she stated.
The focus of the job fair on state employment, rather than work in numerous markets, made it different than others on the setup. Sponsored by the Veterans Employee Resource Group, WorkSource and the TAP, it began with a panel of veterans from state companies, who shared their experiences and answered concerns. Following the panel, employers from state firms were offered to answer hiring concerns, said Frank Handoe, deputy shift services for the TAP.
