2016 Hiring Our Heros Event in Montgomery

A Hiring Our Heros job fair is going on today at Garrett Coliseum.  The annual career fair is organized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation for veterans, service members and their spouses.  The fair is located in the coliseum complex's Teague Arena until 1:30 p.m.  It's a chance for veterans to meet with dozens of local and regional employers.  A workshop to help participants build their resumes and hone their interview skills led off the event.
