This is not a single job. It’s 15 to 25 companies interviewing for open positions across the country, all in one place over two days.
Orion Talent is hosting our Seattle Military Veteran Hiring Conference this Sunday and Monday. If you are a transitioning service member or veteran who is willing to travel or relocate for the right career, this is the fastest way to turn your military experience into real civilian job offers. Attending companies conduct actual interviews on site, not resume drops, and most give feedback the same day or within 48 hours.
Orion has placed veterans into civilian careers for over 30 years. Attending this event is free for candidates.
What kind of roles these areThe majority of positions at this event involve travel or relocation. That breaks down into:National travel: Field service and project-based roles where you are on the road most weeks, often with a company vehicle, per diem, and premium pay. These tend to be the highest-paying technician roles at the event.Regional travel: Service territory roles where you cover a multi-state region, typically home most nights or on the road a few nights a week.Relocation: Plant, facility, and site-based roles in locations across the country where companies will move you for the job.Local (limited): A smaller number of positions in the Seattle area and Pacific Northwest.
Candidates who are flexible on travel and location get the most interviews and the most offers. If you need to stay in one city with zero travel, this event will have fewer options for you.
