Search & Employ® Magazine

July / August 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 logistics and transportation, and our feature subject is opportunities in manufacturing. The overall employment news in those industries is improving—companies are beginning to hire again, with plenty of opportunity for veterans with the right skill sets.

Companies in transportation, logistics, and manufacturing 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!

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.

As a registered, active candidate, you will also receive The VetTen, a monthly electronic newsletter loaded with employment and other opportunities and containing a link to an online copy of the current issue of Search & Employ®.

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.
