And that's what MilitaryStars offers its candidates: a career. In as much as candidates come looking for a job, the companies that attend MilitaryStars expos attend because they need qualified, motivated military candidates. "The event was successful. We had eight candidates from the event come in for interviews, and we expect to make about three to four hires from that group, which is a very good number," said Kristen Shank, a member of the Baker Hughes human resources team in LaFayette, LA. "We'd want to come back to these events for sure." "I can't believe it," said Frank of his MilitaryStars experience. "This is a dream job and because of your expertise in placing ex-military, it's mine. In one week you placed me with an employer and I am about to embark on a job with a salary I could have never imagined." The best part about this story, though, is that with MilitaryStars, this isn't atypical; rather, it's the norm. MilitaryStars, by its very nature, is a military veteran organization comprised and run by veterans that understands the employment needs of other military veterans. Hundreds of former military candidates come to regional career expos throughout the country, and hundreds leave with interviews scheduled and jobs offered. Point blank, MilitaryStars events get military veterans civilian jobs. These civilian jobs aren't your run-of-the-mill employment, either. That's because MilitaryStars not only finds the right military veterans, they find the right military employers. Across the board, companies and government agencies like Lockheed Martin, Ferguson Enterprises, US Customs and Border Protection, KBR, Verizon Communications, Orion International, the US Secret Service and - of course - Baker Hughes attend MilitaryStars events because they know that they will have access to only pre-screened, pre-registered transitioning military and veterans looking for their civilian career. In short, MilitaryStars is a defined quantity for candidates and companies alike, and both groups leave an event having gained more for attending. That's why veterans like Frank say, "I want to express my gratitude and appreciation to all of your crew; they were all very professional and efficient. I will always maintain that you are the best at what you do."
