Military members and spouses who don't yet have clear career goals also can benefit by going to TROA Career Fair 2001. Career fairs provide a great environment to conduct informational interviews that can help you explore the job market and determine the types of jobs that interest you. This is not the place to be shy. You never know who will provide you with great information or a hot job lead. In addition to holding our first-ever career fair this summer, TOPS will expand to offer a full range of services to members' spouses who are seeking employment.
