By 10am, veterans were lined up outside of the ballroom eager to enter the career expo. The event began with a patriotic welcome message by Dwight Radcliff, U.S.VETS’ President and CEO and Michael Dolphin, Employment Development Department, Division Chief, Los Angeles-Ventura Workforce Services Division. Congresswoman Maxine Waters gave a message to the job seekers, “I came by to encourage you to take advantage of everything that U.S.VETS is offering. Those of us who happen to be elected officials appreciate you, we honor you, and we must do everything that we can to support you with the good quality of life and that means having a job, having a career…given your sacrifice, given what you have given to all of us.” Veterans had a chance to interacted with companies and organizations who believe that the best way to honor a veteran is to give them a job.
Among those present were ExxonMobil, University of Southern Californa, the U.S. Census Bureau, Securitas, and Kaiser Permanente. Throughout the entire event RealPolitech (Link Live) and Pink Slip Mixer provided live streaming video and Twitter feeds to keep people updated.
