Orion International Military
Hiring Conference
Sunday, May 20, 2012 - Monday, May
21, 2012
8:00:00 AM - 5:00:00 PM
An Orion Hiring Conference is your
chance to interview with hiring managers for positions that
are a match with your background,
skills and preferences. Orion holds approximately 75 hiring
conferences each year in cities
throughout the nation, and the conference will feature positions
throughout that region of the
country.
Orion focuses on corporations that
value the unique skills and experiences of the military service
member, and often the interviewers
are Orion Alumni. An Orion Hiring Conference is not a Job
Fair. Attendance is by invitation
only, and you will have private interviews with Hiring
Managers that are pre-arranged based
on your background and preferences, allowing you to
research the company and industry
beforehand.
In addition, we offer a full day of
interview preparation, briefings on the interviewing companies
and positions (often times presented
by the hiring managers themselves), and opportunities for
you to network with other job
seekers as well as the client companies. As with all of Orion's
services, there is no fee of any
kind for our job seekers to attend an Orion Hiring Conference.
Hiring Conference is the best
opportunity to interview with several companies committed to the
hiring process in just a few days.

Welcome to My HealtheVet
My HealtheVet
is the Veterans online gateway to managing your health. Registered users can
safely
collect data from
VA hospital records as well as personally entered information -- even data from
your
service days as
well as more recent times -- all in a single place and available online 24/7.
In the past year,
more features have been added that allow you to view appointments, check lab
results,
review details
about your allergies, check past vaccinations, and see vitals and readings. The
most popular
feature is online
prescription refills. You can also view your prescription history.
And all this
information comes together at the touch of the Blue Button.
Using the Blue
Button is a simple way to collect all this data into a single file
that you can save,
store and share as you like. (Because this data has so much
personal
information in it, we will remind you often to protect and safeguard
it.) You can choose
a date range of a few months, years, or everything that is available.
As if these
features aren't enough, now Veterans can exchange messages with doctors, nurses,
clinicians
and other members
of their health care team. Secure Messaging is safe and secure, because the
messages
you send and
receive are all kept within My HealtheVet.
