Veterans face some unique challenges in their job search. It
is my opinion that we, as a society owe the military service members every
effort we can give to assist them in transitioning out of the military or
returning from an extended deployment. Here are some veteran’s hiring program highlights.
Feds Hire Vets – www.fedshirevets.gov
This is based on an Executive Order that was signed by President
Obama in 2009 that established the Veteran’s Hiring Initiative. This initiative
is designed to help the men and women who have served our country in the
military find employment in the federal government. Resources include links to
hiring managers and officials, tips and advice on the federal employment
process and a government agency directory.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and RecruitMilitary.com are
partnering to present 50 hiring fairs for veterans and military spouses
throughout 2012. Check their website to find a list of the upcoming career

This is the Walt Disney Company’s veteran’s initiative that
was launched in 2012 and aims to hire 1,000 veterans over the next 3 years. This
encompasses all of the Disney Corporation’s companies such as the theme parks,
movie studios, ESPN and ABC. I would just like to personally say thank you for your service to our country. I hope one of these resources will point you in the right direction as you navigate the military to private sector conversion.
