Search & Employ® Magazine

May / June 2010

Welcome to job seekers who are transitioning from active duty to civilian life, veterans who already have civilian work experience, members of the National Guard and reserves, and military spouses. Our continuing mission: to help men and women who have military backgrounds connect with employers, franchisors, and educational institutions.

This issue’s cover story focuses on opportunities in the energy arena. Energy is a priority in the Obama Administration, with initiatives aimed at building the industry. Jobs will continue to become available in traditional energy sectors as workers retire and energy companies continue to work on new plants and transmission systems.

Energy companies are eager to hire people who can lead and work in teams, people who are disciplined and can get the job done—people like you. In great demand are employees who will take to the job immediately, work with great interest and enthusiasm—and who want to learn, learn, learn!

Our feature articles discuss educational opportunities that are available to veterans. You will learn about educational institutions that actively court military veterans and special programs available to make veterans feel comfortable on college campuses. And note: The Post-9/11 GI Bill that went into effect last August offers greater benefits than ever before; for more information, visit www.gibill.va.gov.

To further your job search and to make your own data searchable by employers, franchisors, and educational institutions, we encourage you to register as a job seeker and post your resume at www.recruitmilitary.com. There, you will find thousands of job postings, and you will join a vast database searched by recruiters nationwide. Don’t have a resume? Hire one of our experts to write one for you.

We also encourage you to attend the RecruitMilitary Opportunity Expos in your area. At those events, recruiters representing employers, franchisors, and educational institutions will be on hand to discuss a multitude of options.

And finally: Talk to everyone who has opportunities for veterans. Do not rule out any business or industry until you have discussed the opportunities with a recruiter.

Thank you for serving in the armed forces of the United States.
