I'm a high school junior in North Carolina exploring post-graduation options. Does anyone know about any upcoming military job fairs in the area? Trying to weigh my options between college and a military career.
One of the ways to find military job fairs in North Carolina is checking with colleges, universities, as well as local community centers. A lot of universities and community centers will host career expos, and often invite various branches of the military to participate. Job fairs are great places to get a feel for what different careers entail and get some face-to-face advice.
Another option to explore is the North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs website. They regularly post about events and job fairs happening throughout the state. Job fair information is usually up to date and you can see the range of options available for military careers.
The Armed Services branches also regularly host recruitment events. To get specific dates and locations, I would recommend reaching out directly to the local recruiting offices of the branch in which you're interested.
Remember, you can also reach out to guidance counselors at your school. They may have knowledge of upcoming events or may be able to direct you to resources who can provide this information.
Finally, as many events are happening virtually due to the ongoing impact of COVID-19, you can also look for online virtual military job fairs. These could broaden your search to include national events, where you can connect with a wider range of recruiters.
Good luck on your search!
