Summer is one of the worst times of year to look for a job.
That is, according to experts at careersidekick.com, a website dedicated to job searching. According to experts there, there is a drop in hiring during the summer months because staff vacations hinder recruiting efforts.
Lucky for you, you're a military spouse. And the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation is holding hiring fairs across the country all summer long to help you find employment.
The hiring fairs are open only to military spouses and military members looking to move to the civilian sector. Dress smart. Bring your resume. And do not forget to register. The events fill fast and there are usually no tickets available at the door.
