The job fair is for military job seekers, veterans and their families. Here's what you need to know.

For active-duty military personnel, the prospect of leaving the service and seeking a job in the private sector can be disheartening in today's economic climate.

However, RecruitMilitary, a veteran-founded full-service military-to-civilian recruiting firm is making it easy for military personnel and veterans to land a job.

RecruitMilitary is inviting current military personnel, veterans and spouses to a free career fair at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa on Oct. 4 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event is part of a nationwide effort called "Hiring Our Heroes" presented by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce with its recruiting partner, RecruitMilitary.
