Employer Conversations: From Boots to Shoes (Panel and Networking event for UW Veterans)

Tuesday, November 9th, 4:30 – 6:30 PM
134 Mary Gates Hall

As a veteran, you've established a unique and desirable skill set through your military training and experience. Not sure how to translate those skills into the world of work, or relay them to a potential employer? Then attend Employer Conversations: From Boots to Shoes to hear from employers, HR personnel and other veterans about how to do just that.

Representatives who will attend include a military recruiter from the private sector, a former human resources professional for the Department of the Army, an Iraq era veteran who successfully entered the work force, a Veterans Services Program Coordinator from the Employment Security Department, and a Veterans Conservation Corps Program Manager from the Washington Department of Veterans Affairs. These presenters will be available after the panel discussion (6:00 – 6:30 PM) to network individually with UW student and alumni veterans. So please attend, no need to register, just show up, you might be surprised at how those “boots” translate to “shoes” quite well.
