JOINT BASE LEWIS-McCHORD, gratisafhalen.be Wash. - Staff Sergeant Danika Nolan's military exit date is a few weeks away, and she's getting ready for the transition at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.

As part of a group of about 30 job candidates, she went to a working with reasonable Jan. 30 that showcased Washington State profession opportunities at JBLM's Hawk Career Center.

"I simply attempt to make the most of all the resources and services that the (Transition Assistance Program) Center needs to provide, just to make certain I'm as prepared as possible,” she said.

The focus of the task fair on state work, instead of employment in numerous industries, made it different than others on the setup. Sponsored by the Veterans Employee Resource Group, WorkSource and the TAP, it started with a panel of veterans from state agencies, who shared their experiences and answered questions. Following the panel, employers from state firms were readily available to answer hiring questions, said Frank Handoe, deputy transition services manager for the TAP.
