September 21, 2006 - As employers and industries throughout the country progressively realize the value of hiring military veterans, MilitaryStars, the nation´s largest military career expo company, continues its rollout of new venues throughout 2006.
Phoenix, AZ will play host to MilitaryStars´ Western Regional Career Expo on October 3rd, 2006, and regional companies from myriad industries are signing on to attend the event alongside MilitaryStars´ national contract employers.
"What we´re seeing in Phoenix right now is what we´d like to be seeing throughout the country," noted MilitaryStars President Todd Hecht. "Our military veterans exiting the service have skills that other employable demographics cannot and will not match, and we need employers to recognize that veterans as a whole can work in any type of industry. Given the breadth of industries and mix of companies set to attend our event, Phoenix and southwest region employers realize this, and we´re looking to carry this trend nationwide throughout the rest of 2006 and into 2007."
In Phoenix, automotive sales giant Auto Media has signed to staff three booths for multiple automotive brands at the hiring event. Logistics firm Werner Enterprises will join national-contract defense contractors Lockheed Martin and KBR-Overseas as premium sponsors for the career expo, and other companies ranging from retailer Sears Holdings Corporation to aerospace firm Sylmar Corp and tech enterprises Micron Technology and Applied Materials are registered to attend the event, consequently finding the employees they need in the military job seekers at the career expo.
