What's Happening at Post 73

The event is posted on the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission's events calendar as a veterans hiring event. According to that listing, employers will be conducting interviews on site, and representatives from the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs will attend alongside additional hiring agencies and community resource groups.

That second half is what makes it a resource fair and not just a job fair. The listing promises help connecting with an employment specialist, along with information on education, training and housing resources. If you're a recently separated service member still sorting out benefits, or a veteran who has been out of work a while, you can cover a lot of ground in one stop.

Post 73 shares its building with VFW Post 9969, a few minutes from Tinker Air Force Base, so this is familiar territory for a lot of the metro's military community.

⚠️ What the Listing Doesn't Say

The OESC page is built for veterans, but it does not state whether attendance is limited to veterans, whether spouses are welcome, or whether there is any cost or registration step. It also does not name participating employers. We're not going to guess at any of that.

If you're not a veteran, or you want to know which employers are coming, check the event page and its flyer before you drive over, or call the OESC main office at 405-557-7100.

Same Day, Two More Chances

Oct. 22 is a busy day for metro job seekers, and the timing works in your favor. Different event, different crowd, different requirements:

Build My Future trades career fair in Norman runs 3 to 5 p.m., so a veteran interested in the trades could leave Del City at 2 and make it down I-35 in time.
Macy's Holiday Hiring Day at Penn Square Mall is the pick if you want seasonal retail hours on top of a longer-term search.

📋 How to Show Up Ready

Several printed copies of your resume, with military experience translated into civilian terms
Your DD-214 or other proof of service, in case an employer or the VA table asks
A short list of certifications and clearances, with expiration dates
Interview-ready clothes. "On-site interviews" means exactly that
Questions for the ODVA reps about education and training benefits

🔎 Where Veterans Can Aim Right Now
