Hire America's Heroes' Veterans Career Day is coming up Saturday, Feb 5. The event will be held at Qwest Field's West Club Lounge — a 15,000 sq ft, fully carpeted exhibit area with space for 60+ corporations and room for over 1,000 job-seeking veterans in attendance.

The morning program will provide value to corporations interested in hiring veterans. Representatives from military, government and corporate leadership - all committed to veteran employment - will participate.

The Career Day is differentiated from a typical job fair by its emphasis on networking and career preparation in addition to specific employment opportunities. Career Coaches at Resume Review Kiosks around the event area will help Job-Seeking veterans optimize their resumes for the corporate workforce. Many of these Career Coaches are former military service members themselves, now successfully employed in some of the Puget Sound Area's largest corporations.

Three categories of Career Day participants are invited to register for the event at http://www.regonline.com/HAH_Career_Day_2-5-11. For more information please visit Hire America's Heroes website at www.hireamericasheroes.org.
