Veterans Job Fair At Soldier Field Provides ‘Low Stress' Recruiting
About 200 thousand men and women leave the military each year. Veterans said the transition to civilian life can be difficult.
CHICAGO (CBS) — Jennifer Hadac is in a military family. Her husband is active duty and she joined the Navy right out of high school. Five years she was in the Navy and when she retired she had questions. What next? Eventually, she found her post-military career as a recruiter… and today works for the organization Recruit Military which on Thursday at Soldier Field holds a job fair for veterans and their spouses and dependents. Fifty companies have signed up.
“So, it was really hard for me to understand, what are the appropriate steps? What are the appropriate steps for getting a professional career? Where do I go? Who do I talk to,” Hadac wondered. “It was real struggle.”
