More than 100 veterans attended the job fair at the Middletown Memorial Fire Hall, sponsored by U.S. Sen. Tom Carper, U.S. Sen. Chris Coons and Rep. John Carney.

The company provided a list of jobs currently available, including customer service, accounting, reporting and analytics, plus other corporate roles. Jobs available in Delaware are located at the company's Newark and Wilmington offices.

"This job fair is an excellent venue for Navient to meet service members and veterans seeking new career opportunities," said Maureen Murphy, senior director of talent acquisition, Navient. "We know veterans are seeking meaningful careers during and after their military service and they have ready skills and job expertise we can put to work."

Navient will return for the second job fair to be held at Wilmington University's Dover campus on Sept. 3 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Representatives from veteran support agencies will also be available with information about resources to help veterans excel in the job market, including résumé writing and job interview tips.
