The Navy is "milicruiting" veterans and military spouses to help beef up its cybersecurity workforce. The department plans to hold its Milicruit and Hire Heroes USA virtual career fair on April 29 for veterans and military spouses who are qualified in information technology disciplines to join the Navy's civilian ranks and help defend its networks. There are immediate cyber job openings in Norfolk, Va., and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Navy said.
Participants in the virtual job fair will have access to subject matter experts and job recruiters via a live chat and will be able to ask questions abut job opportunities, submit resumes and take part in virtual interviews. Participants also will have access to the career fair information on the Navy's Web site until May 28, the agency said.
