Career Fair Testimonials

I was very happy with most of the employers. I watched a few employers even take prospects to other employers saying, "This person was looking for someone exactly like you."

Detroit -- Army O-2

The RecruitMilitary job fair was very helpful. I was fortunate enough to obtain several good job leads and it seems to be working out for me. I look forward to employment at a good job soon.

Detroit Career Fair - Marine E-2

Love the fairs. Other military fairs have a much lower turnout of veterans. Wonderful communications, support, and relationship with your wonderful staff.

Detroit -- Information Technology recruiter
