As the final Hiring Red White and You podcast of 2025 airs, host Julia Conner sits down with Central Texas Employment Outreach Coordinator Paul Julio to discuss how veterans and their families can prepare for upcoming hiring fairs across the state. The conversation offers practical tips for job seekers and highlights the role Career Advisors play in connecting veterans with employment and support resources.

Hiring Red White and You is a statewide initiative offering free hiring fairs throughout Texas during the month of November. These events are designed to support transitioning service members, veterans, and military spouses by connecting them with employers and career opportunities in their local communities.

Each region hosts its own fair on different days, with most communities offering at least one event. Job seekers are encouraged to visit the Texas Workforce Commission website and search “Hiring Red White and You 2025” to find dates and locations. Some listings also include links to participating employers, allowing attendees to preview opportunities and tailor their preparation.

The podcast emphasizes the importance of planning ahead—researching employers, updating resumes, and speaking with Career Advisors who can guide veterans toward training programs, benefits, and other resources.

As the final episode of the year, the podcast serves as a timely reminder of the support available to military families navigating career transitions. For more information, visit tvc.texas.gov and search “Hiring Red White and You.”
