WRIGHT-PATTERSON AIR FORCE BASE — The Aeronautical Systems Center will host a May 5 event to meet with people interested in being hired by the Air Force for acquisition jobs.

The career fair event at Wright State University’s Nutter Center in Fairborn is intended for mid-career professionals interested in non-entry-level jobs with the Air Force, officials at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base said. It is part of the Defense Department’s effort to expand its acquisition work force to try to get better control of military buying programs.

Professionals with advanced degrees and-or specialized experience in logistics, finance, contracting, program management and engineering are encouraged to attend with resumes in hand, the Air Force said. Hiring officials will be available to discuss job opportunities.

The event is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. No pre-registration is required. For more information, contact Jennifer Melton of the Aeronautical Systems Center at (937) 255-6464.

A similar Aeronautical Systems Center career fair at the Nutter Center in August 2009 attracted at least 5,000 job-seekers for what the Air Force said then were about 50 available jobs. The Air Force said it eventually hired at least 180 people as a result of that event.
