If you're a veteran or military spouse hunting for work, Goodwill Southern Rivers has a place to start. It held its third annual veterans hiring event Thursday, and community members could connect with employers and resources too.
“When someone has given years of their life to the country and now transitioning to a new phase of life, it can be challenging.”
Tricia Konan, vice president of mission services at Goodwill Industries Of The Southern Rivers
The Goodwill career center helps anyone, not just veterans. Goodwill's veterans services manager said it can take someone without a resume and get them hired within a month. Goodwill also offers workshops that help veterans explain their military experience to hiring managers. The day was also a community event to honor veterans, active-duty members and families.
