In honor of National Hire a Veteran Day, Hope For The Warriors will host a free virtual career workshop on July 23 with Robert Half to help veterans, service members, and military spouses navigate the civilian job market.
The second workshop of a four-part series, National Hire a Veteran Day, Employer Spotlight Panel, will be hosted on Thursday, July 23, at 11 a.m. EST.
Led by career coaches from Hope For The Warriors and Robert Half, the goal of the interactive workshop is to encourage participant discussion and to discuss the skills civilian companies seek in veteran candidates, how veterans can stand out in a competitive job market, common misconceptions — and how to overcome them.
Representatives from Forward Air, Caliber-Inc., and S&P Global. Employers and more will be on hand to provide hiring and recruiting perspectives as part of the conversation.
Discussion topics may also include:
- What employers look for when hiring veterans and military spouses
- Translating military experience into civilian language
- Resume and applicant tracking system best practices
- Interview strategies
- Networking and building professional relationships
- AI in today’s job search
- Common hiring misconceptions
- Career readiness and standing out in a competitive job market
During registration, participants are invited to submit career and employment questions. The session is intended to be conversational rather than presentation-based, allowing attendees to engage directly with Hope For The Warriors, Robert Half, and participating employer representatives.
As a part of Hope For The Warriors’ Warrior’s Compass transition program, the free, virtual career workshop series provides training to help prepare those in the military landscape for a job search in today’s civilian climate. The workshops offer tools and tips, as well as opportunities to network with other service members, military spouses, and companies committed to hiring those with military backgrounds.
“The National Hire a Veteran Day, Employer Spotlight Panel workshop gives members of the military community direct access to have an interactive discussion with employers who understand the value of military experience and can speak to what companies are looking for in today’s hiring environment,” said Brian Papakie, director of transition services and life roles for Hope For The Warriors and a retired U.S. Marine. As the nation celebrates 250 years of military service and sacrifice, National Hire a Veteran Day provides a meaningful opportunity to recognize the continued contributions veterans make to today’s workforce while encouraging employers and job seekers to engage in an open dialogue about successful career transitions.”
Hope For The Warriors and Robert Half will host two more free workshops in 2026, Thursday, Sept. 17, discussing applicant tracking systems, and how to get seen and Thursday and Nov. 19 will cover salary negotiation and compensation confidence.
