Vi Simpson - Jobs and Economic Fairness

2012-01-03T09:37:00.000-05:00

With an unemployment rate of 9 percent and hundreds of thousands for Hoosiers out of work, the General Assembly’s first priority in 2012 should be addressing unemployment in this state. Senate Democrats believe the focus should be on long-term progress and an understanding of how small businesses are taking an increasing role in our economy, not on lowering expectations or putting out-of-state interests above those of Hoosiers.

Online sales tax

Indiana retailers, who employ more than half a million Hoosiers, are losing an estimated $2.9 billion in business annually to online retailers. The proposed legislation would require all online retailers with any presence in the state to collect sales tax, leveling the playing field for local businesses and providing the state with an estimated $200 million in uncollected sales tax revenue. The bill will be authored by Sen. John Broden (D–South Bend) who offered a similar measure in 2011.

Work share to avoid temporary lay-offs

An option already available to businesses in twenty-one states, “work share,” evens out the economic highs and lows for businesses and allows them to keep workers on the job during slow periods. The program allows employers to reduce the workweek of their employees in lieu of layoffs. The affected employees receive a portion of the unemployment benefit they would receive if laid off relative to the reduced work hours.

For example, if an employer could schedule employees to work four days (32 hours) a week for six months as an alternative to layoffs, the employer would develop a plan and applies to the state for a work-share unemployment benefit option for the employees. If the plan is accepted with a 20 percent reduction in work hours, the employees would apply and receive 20 percent of the unemployment benefit for which they would be eligible if completely laid off. Senate Democrats will support the House bill expected to be authored by Rep. Mary Ann Sullivan (D-Indianapolis) on this issue.

Restricting employer use of consumer credit history in hiring

Past credit decisions should not hold individuals back from gainful employment. Under proposed legislation, an employer would be prohibited from using an applicant’s credit history for hiring and employment purposes. Exceptions would include managerial positions and positions with the Attorney General, local government, law enforcement, or those where credit history consideration is required by federal law. The bill will be authored by Sen. Greg Taylor (D-Indianapolis).

Prohibiting discrimination against the unemployed

A second proposal aimed at helping the unemployed would prohibit using language in job ads that discriminates against unemployed people. During a time of such high job loss in Indiana, unemployed workers should not be further punished for economic conditions they cannot control. Similar legislation has been approved in New Jersey and is pending in New York. The bill will be authored by Sen. Jean Breaux (D-Indianapolis).

More funding for local roads and bridges

The quality and maintenance of Indiana roads, bridges and other infrastructure is an essential component to Indiana’s economic development and our quality of life. Less money is being devoted to local roads, and the results are evident around the state with crumbling asphalt, closed bridges and rural roads turned back to gravel. It’s not a funding crisis, it’s a matter of priority. The state needs to prioritize resources to preserve existing roads and bridges before embarking on new highway projects. More costs to Hoosiers through tolls and fees on taxpayer-funded roads and bridges are unacceptable, as is shifting the repair costs to future generations. Legislation to address this is being finalized and will be authored by Sen. Tim Skinner (D-Terre Haute.

Capital Access Fund for entrepreneurs and start-ups

Small businesses and entrepreneurs would benefit if the state followed through on a program created with bipartisan support but not funded under the recent Republican state budgets. The program is designed to provide low-interest loans to Indiana businesses for start up or expansion costs through a revolving state fund. Since the fund has languished under the direction of IEDC, the proposal would move the fund to the Indiana Finance Authority where other state revolving funds are managed. A similar proposal was introduced last year and the legislation will be authored this year by Sen. Vi Simpson (D–Elletsville).

New hire tax credits for smaller employers

Indiana’s small businesses deserve the same tax benefit for new hires that is available to larger companies under the New Employee Tax Credit established in 2010. The proposed legislation would eliminate the 10-employee minimum qualification now required under the program, providing any sized business with a tax credit equal to 10 percent of the wages paid for qualified new hires during a 24-month period. This proposal was introduced last session as SB 583-2011 and will be authored this year by Sen. Greg Taylor (D-Indianapolis).

Preference for Indiana employers in state contracts

Taxpayer money spent on state contracts should help put Hoosiers to work, not profit out-of-state companies. The proposed legislation would require that public works projects be awarded to companies and subcontractors that can guarantee at least 80 percent of the employees working on the project are Indiana workers. This proposal was introduced last session as SB 369-2011 and will be authored this year by Sen. Jim Arnold (D-LaPorte).

A Message from the Secretary of Veterans Affairs

2011-12-15T23:17:00.001-05:00

THE SECRETARY OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON

November 3, 2011

A MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY OF VETERANS AFFAIRS

Today, I would like to introduce VA for Vets, an outstanding new program to help
our Veterans find appropriate careers at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Set to launch on November 11, Veterans Day, VA for Vets takes a high-tech and
high-touch approach to recruiting, hiring, retaining, and reintegrating Veterans into the VA workforce. As part of its high-tech solution, the program offers state of the art online tools for Veterans as they seek employment or look to further career development opportunities. The online Career Center includes: a military skills translator that translates military skills into civilian language; a resume builder that tailors Veterans'resumes so they can more easily compete for open positions in VA; and avatar-based technology that connects deployed Servicemembers back to VA during their operational missions.

The high-touch solution comes in the form of career and reintegration coaches
who are readily available to help Veterans and Servicemembers take full advantage of
opportunities offered through the Career Center or to ensure a seamless transition into the VA workforce. Three new Coaching Call Centers will be operational in Dumfries, Virginia; Ebensburg, Pennsylvania; and New Orleans, Louisiana, starting October 26.

As Vice-Chair of President Obama's Veteran Employment Council, I am confident that VA can set the standard for Veterans' recruitment and career development at other Federal agencies. VA for Vets is part of a larger strategic initiative led by the newly established Veteran Employment Services Office (VESO) within the Office of Human Resources and Administration. I have set a goal for VA to increase its Veteran workforce from 30 percent to 40 percent, and VESO will be at the forefront of that effort, working with all offices and administrations, to ensure we achieve our goals.

The VA for Vets program represents a commitment to transforming the way we hire and retain our Veterans. This program requires the personal commitment of all VA employees so we can uphold our sacred trust and moral obligation to care for those "who have borne the battle."

Eric K. Shinseki

Presidential Proclamation -- Veterans Day, 2011
The White House
Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release November 03, 2011

VETERANS DAY, 2011

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION
Today, our Nation comes together to honor our veterans and commemorate the legacy of profound service and sacrifice they have upheld in pursuit of a more perfect Union. Through their steadfast defense of America's ide- als, our service members have ensured our country still stands strong, our founding principles still shine, and nations around the world know the blessings of freedom. As we offer our sincere appreciation and respect to our veterans, to their families, to those who are still in harm's way, and to those we have laid to rest, let us rededicate ourselves to serving them as well as they have served the United States of America.

Our men and women in uniform are bearers of a proud military tradition that has been dutifully passed forward - - from generation to generation -- for more than two centuries. In times of war and peace alike, our veterans have served with courage and distinction in the face of tremendous adversity, demonstrating an unfaltering commitment to America and our people. Many have made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve the country they
loved. The selflessness of our service members is unmatched, and they remind us that there are few things more fundamentally American than doing our utmost to make a difference in the lives of others.

Just as our veterans stood watch on freedom's frontier, so have they safeguarded the prosperity of our Nation in our neighborhoods, our businesses, and our homes. As teachers and engineers, doctors and parents, these patri- ots have made contributions to civilian life that serve as a testament to their dedication to the welfare of our country. We owe them a debt of honor, and it is our moral obligation to ensure they receive our support for as long as they live as proud veterans of the United States Armed Forces. This year, as our troops in Iraq complete their mission, we will honor them and all who serve by working tirelessly to give them the care, the benefits, and the opportunities they have earned.

On Veterans Day, we pay tribute to our veterans, to the fallen, and to their families. To honor their contributions to our Nation, let us strive with renewed determination to keep the promises we have made to all who have an- swered our country's call. As we fulfill our obligations to them, we keep faith with the patriots who have risked their lives to preserve our Union, and with the ideals of service and sacrifice upon which our Republic was founded.
With respect for and in recognition of the contributions our service members have made to the cause of peace and freedom around the world, the Congress has provided (5 U.S.C. 6103(a)) that November 11 of each year shall be set aside as a legal public holiday to honor our Nation's veterans.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim November 11, 2011, as Veterans Day. I encourage all Americans to recognize the valor and sacrifice of our vet- erans through appropriate public ceremonies and private prayers. I call upon Federal, State, and local officials to display the flag of the United States and to participate in patriotic activities in their communities. I call on all Americans, including civic and fraternal organizations, places of worship, schools, and communities to support this day with commemorative expressions and programs.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this third day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand eleven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-sixth.

BARACK OBAMA

Financial Tip of the Week - Talking with Your Kids about Money

In some families, talking about money can be a very uncomfortable conversation. Many parents don’t know how to approach the topic of money, and some avoid it altogether. By starting the discussion early, you can make it easier to talk about this tough topic later, when your child is making larger purchases, thinking about getting a job, or beginning financial planning for college.

Every Day Steps:
Practice Smart Spending: Talk with your children about how you make spending choices based on more than
just affordability. Use language like ―We’re not going to spend our money that way because…‖ or ―It’s not a good value because…,‖ rather than just saying, ―It’s too expensive,‖ which may give the impression that you would buy it if you could afford it.

Do: Bring your kids with you to the bank. If you’re making a deposit in a savings account, talk about the impor- tance of saving ―for a rainy day.‖

Create Learning Opportunities: If you’re refinancing your mortgage, you have an opportunity discuss the con- cept of interest and the importance of paying off loan balances quickly. When you’re taking out a car loan, talk about how loans allow you to pay for things that you don’t have the money for, but you end up paying more in the long run.

Honesty as the Best Policy: If you are facing financial difficulty, be honest with your children. You don’t need to worry them with all the details, but it is helpful for them to learn that money isn’t magical — it doesn’t just ap- pear when you need it.

Stress Wants vs. Needs: Many kids — especially young ones — have difficulty differentiating between wants and needs. When your child says she ―needs‖ something, ask if she really needs it, or if she just wants it. Make sure your child understands the difference, and start paying attention to what you’re saying and the example you’re setting — for example, do you really need an expensive cup of coffee to get you through the morning?

Keep an Open Dialogue: When you’re out shopping, talk with your kids about why you make the purchases you do. Are you influenced by advertising? Pricing? The quality of the product? How do you choose one product over another? Help your child start thinking carefully about making purchases.

Highlight the Positive: Many financially savvy practices, such as buying secondhand, donating old clothes to a thrift store, and reusing and recycling goods, are also good for the environment. Point out that not only are you saving money by doing these things, but you’re also taking action to help preserve the environment.

The average American spends more than $1,000 during the holiday season. And much of that spending is on credit cards, which means that many people face big bills in the New Year. The key to keeping holiday spending under control is budgeting. Below you'll find tips for setting and sticking with a holiday budget.

Setting a holiday budget
The first step in getting control of holiday expenses is deciding exactly how much you can spend. There are four main areas in which most people spend: gifts, entertaining, travel, and decorating. And each of these areas comes with hidden expenses. For example, gift-giving costs much more than the price of each gift. You also have to consider the cost of wrapping and shipping gifts.

Making a gift list
Take the time to make a list of everyone for whom you'd like to buy gifts. Include teachers, the mailman, co -workers, news- paper delivery people, and anyone else you usually end up giving something to. Then consider your list. Are there people who could get a card rather than a gift? Then, set a price limit on each gift. For example, you might decide that you'll set a
$30 limit on immediate family members, $20 on children in your family, and $10 on acquaintances like co-workers or teachers. Don't forget to add in the cost of wrapping paper and shipping -- including shipping costs from a catalogue or Web site to you, and from you to the recipient.

Entertainment costs
Many people forget to factor in the cost of holiday entertaining. Even if you aren't having a party, providing snacks for neighbors or friends who drop by and serving the holiday meal can be expensive. Try to think of ways in which you can cut back in this category. For example, consider inviting friends and neighbors over for a cookie swap rather than baking batches to give away. Or ask family members to contribute a dish to your holiday meal instead of supplying all the food yourself.

Travel costs
If you'll be traveling during the holidays, even if it's by car, be sure to include these costs in your budget. The tips in t he next section of this article can help you trim your travel expenses.

Decorating costs
Estimate how much you'll spend on holiday decorations. This is often an easy area to cut back in. Think about what you did last year and determine whether you can reuse any decorations. You'll find more tips below for saving money on decora- tions.

Adding it all up
Finally, add up the estimates from all four areas. If the total amount is more than you can afford, go back to your lists and
the tips in this article to see where you can cut back. Ideally you'll have done this early enough in the year so you can slo wly set aside money to cover your holiday expenses or shop for reasonably priced gifts throughout the year. But if you haven't, you can look for even more ways to trim your holiday budget while cutting back your regular expenses and putting money away for the holidays.

Once you've reached a reasonable budget limit, you need to commit to sticking to it. The tips below can help.

Ways to spend less
Many people blow their holiday budgets because they get carried away by the excitement and spirit of the season. It's im- portant to remember that you can still have a joyous holiday season without going over your budget. Try to focus on the true spirit of the season rather than the more commercial aspects. Also, try to avoid feeling pressure to give expensive gifts. The best gifts are those chosen with an eye toward what's personal and meaningful to the recipient. These kinds of gifts don't have to cost a lot.

Here are some more ways to save money during the holidays:
Set expectations with friends and family. If you're worried about your finances this holiday season, talk about it with friends and family. Let them know if you'll be cutting back on the number of gifts or how much you plan to spend.
This is especially important for children, who often have unrealistic expectations about gifts and don't fully understand the cost factors. Also consider price-limited charitable donations in the family's name.
Look for ways to cut back on the number of gifts you buy. There are many ways to shorten your gift list. If you have a large family or group of friends, ask if they'd like to draw names out of a hat and give one gift per person. Or give family gifts, such as a board game, a "movie night" with gift certificates to a video rental store and snacks, or a pass to
a local museum rather than individual gifts.
Consider homemade gifts. There are many heartfelt, thoughtful gifts that don't come with a sales receipt. You could cook some treats; put together a photo album; make a themed gift basket full of smaller items, like tea, paperback books, or gardening tools; or give the gift of your time by making homemade coupons or certificates.
Make a shopping plan. Don't head out to the mall without a specific list of gift ideas. This is how you end up spending more than you budgeted for. Look through catalogues or on Internet sites for ideas and develop a list before you even step foot in a store.
Look for bargains. Take the time to look for ways to save money on gifts. Try to buy several things from one catalogue or Internet site to save money on shipping, or better yet, look for sites that offer free shipping. Comparison shop using the fl i- ers that come in the weekend papers to find the best deal around or use sites like Google Product Search at www.google.com/prdhp or PriceGrabber at www.pricegrabber.com. Consider buying gifts on sites like eBay at www.ebay.com or at Overstock.com at www.overstock.com, both of which offer many new, high-quality items at discount prices.

Be sure to use your Exchange. In addition to the usual tax savings and price-matching benefit, you'll find special holiday discounts.
Cut back on mailing expenses. If you always send boxes of gifts or holiday cards to loved ones far away, think of ways to save on or eliminate shipping costs this year. Buy magazine subscriptions or send online gift certificates instead of shipping gifts. Send holiday postcards or even e-cards instead of regular cards. If you've already bought cards, cross some names off your list and save the leftovers for next year. And be sure to mail things early so you don't have to pay extra for fast shipping.
Make careful travel plans. If your holiday plans include a trip, be sure to investigate all of your options as early as possible.
For example, could you drive instead of fly? Stay with a friend or relative instead of in a hotel room? Make do without a rental car? If you need to travel by air, be sure to spend time looking for the lowest price ticket. If possible, be flexi- ble about dates. You could save a lot of money by flying immediately after the holidays rather than before.
Keep it simple. Focus on enjoying the simple pleasures of the holiday season, like spending time with friends and family or taking a walk to see the holiday decorations in your neighborhood. These kinds of activities often capture the spirit of the season better than expensive gifts or elaborate celebrations.
Use your credit card wisely. Finally, be very careful about using your credit card to pay for holiday expenses. Don't use your card unless you know you can pay if off right away. If possible use a card that you're not already carrying a bal- ance and making payments on. Remember, buying a sweater on sale with a credit card and making monthly payments could change the sale price to double the price. You don't want to start the New Year off with an oversized credit card bill.

The winter holidays can be stressful for anyone, but when your loved one is deployed, they can be especially difficult. You may experience a range of emotions, from worry to loneliness -- even anger and disappointment. The holidays may magnify those feelings, but they can also be a time to strengthen your emotional commitment to your service member and your fam- ily.

Plan ahead for the holidays
If possible, sit down with your deployed service member before your separation to talk about how you will mark the holi- days. If you are already apart, discuss your plans through letters, e-mail, or telephone calls.
Get an early start with gifts and cards. Depending on where your loved one is stationed, it can take a week or more for a package to arrive from the U.S. Give yourself plenty of time to make or purchase and send your gift so your service member will receive it in time for the holiday. If you have children, ask them to write their gift lists early to avoid last - minute purchases that may put you over your budget.
Record a holiday message. Borrow a video camera or tape recorder if you don't have one, and record yourself and other family members wishing the service member a happy holiday season. Do this far enough in advance so your loved one receives it in time for the holiday. Include a "Do not open until . . ." note on the package asking your service member
to wait until the day of the holiday to view or listen to the recording.
Take lots of pictures. Take pictures of you and your family decorating for the holidays, celebrating, and on the holiday itself, opening gifts. Send these to your service member so he or she will feel included in the festivities.
Be flexible with phone calls. Calls home are unpredictable, so it's best not to count on a phone call from your service mem- ber on the holiday itself. You might want to aim for a call during the week of the holiday instead.

Surround yourself with people
Look for opportunities to be with family and friends. Get together with others who are in your situation. Being with others who are going through the same thing helps prevent loneliness.
Plan to attend holiday events for families of deployed service members. You can find out about these by checking with your installation's family support center.
If you have school-age children, attend holiday school events. Volunteer to help your children's teachers. Even if you aren't able to attend the event, you can bake or help make decorations.
Help organize a holiday party or potluck for families in your loved one's command. This will help keep your mind off your loneliness and you will be comforted to be with others who are going through the same thing.
Visit friends or family on the holiday. If you live far away and funds are tight, ask those who would normally give you a
gift to chip in for an airline ticket instead. If you prefer to stay home, invite family or friends to spend the holiday with you.
Volunteer for a good cause. Collect coats for the needy; help stock shelves at the food pantry; serve a meal at a homeless shelter. Helping others less fortunate than you will keep you busy and will remind you of all you have. Ask your fam- ily support center staff about volunteer opportunities in your area.

Reduce holiday stress
It's easy to get caught up in all you have to do during this time of year, especially if you have always shared the work with your deployed service member. Tell yourself you don't have to do everything. It's more important to take time out to enjoy the season.
Find ways to have fun. Drive or walk with your family or friends to see the holiday decorations. Give yourself time for activities that make you feel good. Go swimming, sledding, ice skating, or skiing. Go on a nature walk or start a new project.
Get plenty of rest and exercise. Remember to take care of yourself and keep your energy level high by eating well, staying active, and getting enough sleep.
Prioritize. Make a list of all the things you need to do and decide which ones are the most important. Do those first. Then i f you have time, start on the others. You may not have time for everything on the list, but if you get the important things out of the way, the rest probably won't matter.
Ask for help. Many people in your life will want to help you during this time, but may not know what you need. Let people know exactly how they can support you. If hanging your holiday lights seems more than you can manage, ask a neighbor for a hand. If you have small children and need time alone to shop for gifts or just decompress, a friend may be glad to babysit. The support of friends, family, and others will not only lighten your load, but will help you feel less alone.

Be realistic about what to expect
As the family member of a deployed service member, it's important to be flexible, especially during the holidays. Here are some ways to do that:
Accept that this holiday season will be different. It's easy to fall into the trap of expecting everything to be perfect, especially around the holidays.
Do something you wouldn't ordinarily do. Instead of celebrating the holiday the way you have in years past, make an effort to keep busy in a memorable way. If you have always stayed home on the holiday, this year go to the movies, spend time with friends or relatives, or visit a museum that's open on the holiday.
Keep holiday decorations up until your loved one returns, if it makes you feel better. Or take them down and put them back up when your loved one returns. Some families celebrate the holidays twice: once on the actual dates, and again
when their deployed service member returns home. However, be aware that leaving decorations up long after the holiday has passed may be an unpleasant reminder of your separation and may make it more difficult to accept your situation.
Prepare yourself for a post-holiday letdown. Getting through the holidays may not be as difficult as you thought, especially if you keep busy and surround yourself with loved ones. Once it's over and things go back to normal, you may find it difficult to get on with day-to-day life. Prepare yourself for this possibility by keeping your support system in place in January and beyond.

Legion backs Obama's job initiatives

CHICAGO (AP) — Orlando Ocasio has a Purple Heart. What he needs now is a job.

2011-11-14T23:15:00.000-05:00

As a member of the Marine Corps, Ocasio stormed Baghdad in 2003. A year later on his second deployment, he and his team were ambushed on their way to Fallujah, and he was shot in the leg and suffered shrapnel wounds. When he came home in 2004, he got a job at a factory making airline parts, earning about $42,000 a year. He bought a home in the suburbs and settled down with his wife, Monica, to raise their two young boys.
"Then the economy went down and I was laid off, and as soon as that happened we couldn't pay our mortgage, put food on the table," said Ocasio, 31, who has now been unemployed for two years and has suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder since the ambush.
"We were about 90 days from being homeless."
Ocasio joined the ranks of the 240,000 unemployed veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. Unemployment tops 20 percent among 18-to-24-year-old veterans, compared with a national rate of about 9 percent, Department of Labor figures show. And the situation is expected to worsen after 10,000 service members return from Afghanistan and 46,000 come home from Iraq by year's end — many wounded or suffering from mental trauma.
A measure approved by the Senate on Thursday is aimed at helping unemployed veterans, by providing special tax incentives to companies that hire them and strengthening employment counseling and training programs. The House is expected to approve the bill next week, which would send it to President Barack Obama.
At the Humboldt Park Armory in Chicago, the chatter among men and women who have served was about the economy and the troops that are coming home to yet another battle, the job market.
"I am very concerned for all these troops," said Leroy Holland who spent most of his time on the John F. Kennedy battleship during the Vietnam conflict. "They will go through the turmoil of not feeling like they fit in, the hell of adjusting back to life and in an economy that is ruined. I feel bad for them."
While veterans from that era may see fewer benefits from the tax incentives and credits in the legislation, they have plenty of advice for veterans who are coming home to tough times.
"Please, please don't be shamed to ask for help, especially mental help," said 66-year-old Army veteran James Poriatis, who was injured in the Vietnam war. "We were all mostly ashamed after Vietnam, you don't have to be."
Ocasio, who suffers from anxiety and sleep problems, has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. Since the ambush in 2004 he has felt distorted.
"Emotionally, physically I just have not been able to recover and here I am, at the VA, seven years later," he said while sitting in a small waiting room on the tenth floor of the Jesse Brown VA Medical Center.
With the help of a friend and government assistance in the form of disability pay, Ocasio is now living in an apartment in Chicago with his wife and two toddler sons. Monica, also a former Marine, is a full-time student and mother while Ocasio tries to recover fully from the war and looks for a job.
"We have friends who are on their third and fourth deployments, and they have children, but they don't want to get out of the military because they are afraid to come home and not have a job and medical insurance," Ocasio said. "There are a lot of scared soldiers."

Senate Passes Jobs Bill for Veterans

2011-11-14T23:10:00.000-05:00

The American Legion - November 11, 2011
America’s one million unemployed veterans will soon get a much-needed boost in the job market with expanded education, training and transition assistance, thanks to an American Legion-backed bill passed by the Senate on Nov. 10. The VOW to Hire Heroes Act of 2011 also provides tax credits to businesses that hire veterans who are out of work — $5,600 for each veteran and $9,600 for each disabled veteran.
“This legislation will go a long way in helping our veterans get decent jobs,” said Fang A. Wong, national commander of The American Legion. “It falls in line with initiatives we supported in my testimony before Congress last September – a mandatory transition assistance program, job training for older veterans, and private-sector recognition of military skills and training.”
Wong said that Congress has honored America’s veterans in a way “that really makes a difference” by passing such important legislation the day before Veterans Day. “We applaud the leadership of Senator Murray and Representative Miller in creating a piece of legislation that addresses some of the factors that are stopping our veterans from getting jobs.”
When troops come home from Iraq and Afghanistan, Wong said, “The last thing they need is to file for unemployment benefits. They’ve been working hard as medics, truck drivers, mechanics, and a variety of other jobs with civilian counterparts.
“The government and private sector need to step up and give them work opportunities they deserve. This is what the Legion has been fighting for, and Congress has delivered an impressive set of tools that our veterans can use to earn a living.”
The VOW to Hire Heroes Act, once signed into law, will boost employment opportunities for veterans. Key provisions include:
•Tax credit of up to $5,600 for hiring veterans who have been looking for a job for more than six months, as well as a $2,400 credit for veterans who are unemployed for more than four weeks, but less than six months.
• Tax credit of up to $9,600 for hiring veterans with service-connected disabilities who have been looking for a job for more than six months.
• Makes the Transition Assistance Program (TAP) — an interagency workshop coordinated by the departments of Defense, Labor and Veterans Affairs — mandatory for servicemembers moving on to civilian life to help them secure meaningful jobs through resume-writing workshops and career counseling.
• Expands education and training opportunities for older veterans by providing 100,000 unemployed veterans of past eras and wars with up to one year of additional Montgomery GI Bill benefits for education or training programs at community colleges and technical schools.
• Provides disabled veterans up to one year of additional vocational rehabilitation and employment benefits.
• Allows servicemembers to start looking for federal jobs before separating from active duty in order to facilitate a truly seamless transition from the military to jobs at federal agencies.
“For too long, at the end of their career we patted our veterans on the back for their service and then pushed them out into the job market alone,” said Murray. “The VOW to Hire Heroes Act will give our veterans the job skills to get their foot in the door and incentivize employers to make sure that door is open to them.”
According to Tim Tetz, the Legion’s legislative director, provisions of the bill “are fully paid for with funding from VA Home Loan programs and other savings within the department.”
The unemployment rate for about a quarter-million veterans who have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan stands at 12.1 percent. Of the estimated one million jobless veterans in America, two-thirds of them fall within the 35-64 age group.
“About one in 12 veterans can’t find a job in this country. And yet, the Department of Labor tells us there are more than three million job openings right now,” Wong said. “They say employers are having trouble finding workers with enough skills and training.
“Do we have to draw them a picture? They should all be hiring well-trained, disciplined individuals who work well with a team and accomplish the goals they’re given — in other words, they should be hiring veterans.”

Veterans Opportunity to Work Act of 2011

2011-10-31T22:20:00.000-05:00

Veterans' Job Training Bill Passes in House

The House of Representatives passed legislation Wednesday to provide occupational training to out-of-work veterans as a way to counter growing unemployment in their ranks. The measure passed, 418-6, under suspension of the rules, an expedited procedure requiring a two-thirds majority for passage.

The legislation, HR 2433, the Veterans Opportunity to Work Act of 2011, would allow 100,000 unemployed veterans ages 35 through 64 to apply for Montgomery GI Bill (PL 78-346) benefits. Eligible veterans could choose to enhance their skills with up to a year of training for high-demand fields such as information technology and health care. The bill, sponsored by Florida Republican Jeff Miller, Chairman of the Veterans' Affairs Committee, would require participating veterans to submit a monthly certification of enrollment in a specific course. The assistance each month would be equal to the basic educational benefits provided under the Montgomery GI Bill - a maximum of $1,426 a month for 2011. Payments would be made from the Veterans Affairs (VA) Department's readjustment benefits account.

Finding Jobs for Wounded Vets

Military.com
We all know about the challenges facing veterans looking for jobs: an unemployment higher than the national average, and that's not even taking into account the challenges faced by wounded veterans who are in the civilian job market. One of the initiatives that aims to help wounded vets is the Network of Champions, a project formed in 2008 by defense contractor Northrop Grumman to help wounded soldiers return to civilian life.

More than 70 employers, including Capital One, Northrop Grumman and General Motors, are part of the network, which is dedicated to hiring vets suffering from injuries or illnesses incurred while deployed in Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom. Essentially, if you apply for a job with any company in this network, if the company does not have a job that fits your skills, they will circulate your resume (with your permission) to other companies within the network.

The companies that belong to the Network of Champions include:

• Able Forces
• Aerotek, Inc
• Bank of America
• Best Buy
• Boeing
• Capital One Bank
• Colonial Circuits
• Cubic

Wal Mart Job Opportunities

2011-10-24T22:22:00.000-05:00

Navy veteran Bill Simon says retail giant is adding stores, jobs and opportunities for those who have served in uniform.
September 01, 2011 11:07 AM Eastern Daylight Time
MINNEAPOLIS- Walmart U.S. President and CEO Bill Simon, who spent 25 years in the U.S. Navy, says he will never forget what the “salty old sea captain” of his first destroyer told him when he reported for duty at the age of 22. “He sat me down. He looked me in the eye. He said, ‘I want you to know I trust you, that your country is counting on you, and that while we might make mistakes, we’re all in this together.’ Then he said, ‘Get out there and do your job.’”
“We’re not waiting on government, businesses, or anyone else”

Simon called those words “one of the most enduring gifts I got from my service. The confidence we gained in ourselves, the ability to do things we never thought imaginable, and what we can do together, is what America needs today. It’s what we need to bottle and deliver to our country.”

Now responsible for more than 3,700 Walmart stores and 1.3 million employees across the United States, Simon urged thousands of veterans gathered Wednesday for the 93rd National Convention of The American Legion in Minneapolis to help lead an “American Renewal” that can spring from the talents and capabilities of the newest generation of veterans.“We love to hire veterans,” he said. “Veterans not only have a record of performance under pressure, but they are educated and technologically savvy, quick learners, and team players.”

Simon said the corporation is using a dedicated website – www.careerswithamission.com – to attract veteran applicants and hire them. Among its features, the site provides searchable job listings as well as guidance about how to convert military experience into fulfilling careers. He added that whenever the spouse of servicemember has to leave a Walmart job due to a military transfer, the spouse is offered another Walmart job in the new location.

“Today, after 10 years of war, there’s a new group of American men and women coming home, ready to lead us in the next American renewal,” Simon told the
Legionnaires. “I’ve got to tell you about this generation. They are incredible. When I signed up to serve, we knew combat was a possibility. For this generation, it’s a probability. Two, three, four deployments, and still they answer the call of duty. They are why I am confident everything is going to be OK.”

He said it is up to the nation at home “to create conditions for their success, so that when they come home, they can lead us to a better day. With respect to jobs, now is not a time to retreat or wait. Now is the time to tackle our problems head-on. “I am proud of the jobs we have at Walmart,” he added. “Inside our stores every day, the American dream comes to life. Last year, we promoted more than 140,000 hourly associates, which is like giving all of Dayton, Ohio, a promotion.
“We’re not waiting on government, businesses, or anyone else,” Simon said. “Frankly, if your business plan involves waiting for somebody else, I wish you all the best.”
There are some things the government could do to “put the wind at our backs,” Simon explained. “First and foremost, we can start by taking care of our veterans when they come home. It’s our moral obligation, yes, but they have so much to offer our country. We need to promote American exports because more exports mean more jobs; there’s a couple of free-trade agreements that are ready to go. Let’s pass them and get on with it. Third, we need a comprehensive reform of our corporate tax code to broaden the tax base and lower the overall tax rate. This will unleash America’s job creators.”

Veterans’ unemployment outpaces civilian rate at 24%

2011-10-19T10:22:00.001-05:00

Veterans’ unemployment outpaces civilian rate
By Michael A. Fletcher, Published: October 16
CLEVELAND — As soon as Brian Joseph graduated from high school he joined the Army, where he was trained in a series of jobs that seem to exist only in the military.
He was a multi-channel radio operator. Then he worked as a single-channel radio operator. Later, he worked as a psychological operations specialist, tailoring the U.S. war message to residents of Kosovo and, later, Iraq.
But since leaving the Army in 2008, Joseph has found that the rigorous training he gained during 18 years of military service means little to civilian employers.
“When somebody hears about the radio operator gig, they don’t immediately see a civilian application,” he said. “The same for psychological operations. It is really marketing, but they don’t know what it is, and the thing they associate it with is brainwashing.”
Joseph, 43, who has bounced in and out of jobs since returning home, is confronting a problem that is common among job seekers who have left the military in recent years.
Despite the marketing pitch from the armed forces, which promises to prepare soldiers for the working world, recent veterans are more likely to be unemployed than their civilian counterparts.
Veterans who left military service in the past decade have an unemployment rate of 11.7 percent, well above the overall jobless rate of 9.1 percent, according to fresh data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The elevated unemployment rate for new veterans has persisted despite repeated efforts to reduce it.
The latest to attempt it is the White House. In the jobs package President Obama has been promoting across the country is a tax credit of up to $9,600 for each unemployed veteran a company hires.
“If Congress passes this jobs bill, companies will get new tax credits for hiring America’s veterans,” Obama said at a community college in Dallas this month. “Think about it. We ask these men and women to leave their families, disrupt their careers, risk their lives for our nation. The last thing they should have to do is to fight for a job when they come home.”
But employers say such financial incentives for hiring veterans would not address the heart of the problem.
Lionel Batty, vice president of corporate research at GrafTech International, which makes graphite materials integral to products such as smartphone batteries and solar panels, said his firm is moving to hire more veterans, in part by trying to better understand their experiences. But, he said, tax credits have nothing to do with that effort.
“We’ll take them, but we don’t hire people because of tax credits,” he said. “We do what’s right for our business.”
More important than financial incentives for hiring returning veterans is making the skills and experience they earned in the military more understandable for civilian employers, experts say.
“There is not a great deal of knowledge with corporate America on a lot of the skill sets that come from the military,” said Stuart Keeter, a former paratrooper who is a vice president with Alliance International, a recruiting service that specializes in military veterans.
Even as the nation suffers through its longest period of high unemployment in a generation, many employers complain about the difficulty they have finding suitable workers. Some candidates lack the aptitude for certain technical tasks, employers say. Others, they say, are missing the “soft skills” — punctuality, teamwork, the ability to operate independently and take charge of a task.
The paradox for veterans is that those are qualities and skills they possess in abundance. Many employers say they value veterans’ leadership training, discipline and national service. The problem is that employers often have only the vaguest notion of what people learn in the military.
“Hiring veterans is just the right thing to do,” said Thomas G. Tomasula Jr., director of domestic staffing at Lubrizol, a 7,000-employee firm that makes petroleum additives, industrial lubricants and other specialty chemicals. But, he said, translating the military’s defined structure to the civilian world is not easy, which is one reason why Lubrizol has joined a new effort aimed at placing veterans in hard-to-fill manufacturing jobs.
“Clearly, there are some skill sets in the military that can be attractive to what we do,” he said, “but the military is more defined, there’s more black and white. In business, there is more gray. The challenge is to help people be successful in this grayness.”
A Pew Research Center survey released this month found that large majorities of veterans say the military helped them get ahead in life. They say the service builds character, maturity and self-confidence. Yet, 44 percent of veterans who served in the past decade called the transition back to civilian life difficult — nearly double the rate of veterans who served before them.
Veterans receive preference when applying for federal and a wide range of other government jobs. They qualify for government-funded education and job training. Industry groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce host job fairs aimed at veterans. And a host of firms target veterans for jobs they consider hard to fill.
But such programs have not significantly reduced the jobless rate among veterans.
“There are not that many people who have a military background, and they need to go about the process of learning how military skills relate to other jobs,” said Bill Scott, a vice president at Bradley-Morris, a career placement firm that focuses on veterans.
In northeast Ohio, the Manufacturing Advocacy and Growth Network, a business group, is teaming with the Veterans’ Service group of the state Department of Job and Family Services on a project aimed at matching returning veterans with manufacturing jobs.
The idea is to translate veterans’ military job skills into civilian ones and match them with hard-to-fill jobs, such as machinists and technicians.
“There is a gap between what the military has trained people for and what employers need,” said Judith Crocker, director of education and training at MAGNET. “Also, veterans are often not very articulate in describing what they learned and what they had done in the military.”
The effort has attracted 43 manufacturers interested in hiring returning veterans, for jobs that pay as much as $28 an hour. The employers project filling 240 jobs over the next several months.
Kim Smith, marketing manager for the Pipe Line Development Co., a 97-employee firm that is doing a fast-growing business selling pipeline repair parts, said her company is eager to hire veterans.
“They have sacrificed. We know they are very disciplined and they are trainable,” Smith said.
Some veterans complain, however, that such sentiment does not always translate into jobs.
Trenton Marshall, 25, shipped out for the Navy in 2005. He was in Jacksonville, Fla., for most of that time, training and working as an aviation machinist’s mate. “I was a helicopter mechanic,” Marshall said. “I spent two years training and doing aircraft operations, refueling, launching aircraft.”
When he left the Navy and returned to Cleveland in 2009, he struggled to find work. Places such as Walgreens and McDonald’s passed on him, he said.
He did land a job at Wal-Mart, where he said a supervisor announced that he would be paid $7.40 an hour — 15 cents an hour more than usual rate — because of his time in the service. That job did not last long.
Now he is out of work, waiting to start school at Cleveland State University, where he plans to use his veteran’s benefits to train as a physician’s assistant.
“I hit the revolving door,” he said. “In interviews, people are all smiles. ‘Thank you for your service. You did a great deed.’ All of that. But then you’d get a letter saying you are unqualified, and you sit there like ‘say what?’ ”

The time for Veteran Opportunity to Work Act is NOW

2011-10-14T14:24:00.001-05:00

The American Legion supports HR 2433 - The Veteran Opportunity to Work Act

(October 11, 2011) As early as tomorrow, October 12 at 5 p.m., the U.S. House of Representatives will take a very consequential vote; one which may determine if this nation's unemployed veterans, of all eras and ages, can expect increased employment opportunities in the near future courtesy of a grateful nation. A nation which will not stand to see her defenders return home from the battlefield empty handed.

H.R. 2433, the Veterans Opportunity to Work Act, or VOW Act, introduced this summer by Representative Jeff Miller (FL), Chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, is scheduled to be voted on imminently on the House floor.

Congress must and should support this bill.

National Commander Fang A. Wong presented that message during a September hearing in front of a joint session of the House and Senate Veterans' Affairs Committees. Wong presented the Legion's legislative priorities during the hearing, focusing on veterans employment, the Department of Veterans Affairs' claims backlog, and the treatment of post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injuries.

Wong spoke at length about the job crisis facing the country's veterans. A figure of more than 1 million veterans without employment, including 632,000, ages 35-60. Congress should, he said, pass legislation now creating incentives to promote the hiring of veterans to help reduce those figures.

Furthermore, Wong said a key to turning around the unemployment crisis is both a stronger effort by the federal government to hire veterans and an involved private sector. He praised Rep. Jeff Miller, as well as his Senate counterpart, Sen. Patty Murray (WA), Chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, for legislation they've advanced that provide incentives for hiring veterans.

"The American Legion hopes you will collaborate and bring your parties together to get a jobs bill for America's veterans passed," Wong said.
"It is our obligation as a nation to ensure that every single member of the military who chooses to leave the military can effectively transfer his or her education, training and experience into a civilian career field."

With passage of the VOW Act, Congress will take the first step in reaching Commander Wong's goal of helping our nation's unemployed veterans, but we need your help to make sure this bill makes it across the finish line.

Please call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask for your House member's office. Ask for the staff person following this bill. Identify yourself and tell the aide you request the Representative support H.R. 2433, the VOW Act.

Tell them the VOW Act is the ONLY current piece of veterans' job legislation to specifically address the cohort of 630,000+ veterans aged 35-60. Tell them this bill had strong bipartisan support in Committee and we ask for bipartisan support on the floor. Let them know The American Legion and its members and advocates are counting on their vote! We need to pass this now.

Again, please call 202-224-3121 and support The American Legion and The VOW Act. This is the most important matter facing Congress at this time. The time for VOW is NOW. Call your Congressman TODAY."

You served your country — now it’s time to find a civilian job. The competition is fierce, so enlist your military experience to get a leg up. Here’s how.
By Greg Campbell
Illustrations by Jonathan Bartlett

On the Front Job
click here for complete article

A mechanic in the U.S. Navy, Benjamin Dunn was responsible for the care and upkeep of multimillion-dollar airplanes and helicopters — not to mention the lives of the pilots who flew them. His skills were a critical part of the U.S. war effort in Iraq and Afghanistan after 9/11.

But as a civilian, the best job 28-year-old Dunn could find was as a heating and air conditioning repair man in Alamosa, Colo., where he and his fiancé moved to be near her family. It wasn’t nearly as challenging as his previous duties, but it was slid work at decent pay, Dunn says. But with a cold, wet spring in the Rockies, work never picked up, and his boss was forced to downsize.

Now, a year out of the Navy, Dunn is living on his unemployment benefits and couch surfing with relatives in Denver, where he migrated in the hope that jobs would be more plentiful. With a 3-yearold daughter and a wedding on the horizon, Dunn will take any job at any wage, although he would like to return to his specialty — aviation.

“It’s been a full-time job finding a full-time job,” he says. “The biggest challenge I’ve had is matching my skill set with the civilian world equivalent. A lot of my skills are transferable to other maintenance or manufacturing types of positions, but getting that in words on a resume to attract the employers to want to hire me is the hard part. I’ve heard that I’m overqualified too many times.”

The Struggle
By definition, most service members are disciplined, organized and punctual. They’re used to working in high stress environments where failure is not an option. They are used to leading and being led, and, since the U.S. military is an all-volunteer force, they’re passionate about their duties. About 30 percent of active duty military personnel have college degrees; the figure rises to 60 percent when including guardsmen and reservists.

Yet too many like Dunn struggle to find meaningful employment after leaving the military. Among vets ages 18-24, those who’ve served in our most recent wars, unemployment is at a staggering 26.8percent, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That’s nearly three times the unemployment rate for the general U.S. population, which in June hovered at around 9 percent. While the overall veteran population fares slightly better at finding a job than the average American — the unemployment rate for vets of all ages was 8.8 percent in June — there are high percentages of extremely skilled, highly educated, well-disciplined young men and women who simply can’t find a job. The problem is worse for those in the reserves or in the National Guard, says Ted Daywalt, a retired 28-year naval officer who is now the president and CEO of Marietta, Ga.-based VetJobs, an online job board for former service members. Reservists and guardsmen must report for regular training and face the possibility of deployments that can last as long as two years. Because employers have a legal obligation to keep jobs for service members, some may be reluctant to hire them in the first place.“It’s become a huge problem,” Daywalt says, noting that some returning National Guard brigades such as those in Tennessee, had unemployment rates as high as 45 percent in 2010.

To help combat the problem, the Labor Department just issued 22 grants, totaling $9 million, to various states to help with workforce development. In addition, first lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden launched a support program for military families called Joining Forces, which includes a major push to encourage employers to hire veterans.

The initiative is about more than just jobs, however. It seeks to support military families in a number of areas, including promoting and highlighting the benefits of hiring service members’ spouses.

De-Jargon Your Resume Step

Translating your military experience into civilian speak can be challenging — but getting it right can make or break your chances of scoring an interview. Here we decode a few common military roles and terms. — Jen Lawinski

For more translations, check out the Military.com Skills Translator.

AAM/ARCOM (Army Achievement Medal/ Army Commendation Medal), n. — Syn. award, recognition for accomplishments, outstanding achievement in a high-stress environment.

AI, abbr. – Syn. additionally skilled in. battalion, platoon or company, n. — Syn. department, unit, organization, agency or group within a company. This language is more understandable to civilians.

Field Grade Officer, n. — Syn. executive, department head or manager responsible for leading projects and supervising workers; self-directed and able to organize a team to execute organizational goals with minimal oversight.

Military Occupation Specialty (MOS), n. — Syn. career specialty. Do not use your MOS on a resume; instead list your duties and responsibilities.

Military Personnel Office (MILPO), n. — Syn. human resources department.

Mission, n. — Syn. task, function, objective or goal.

Operations NCO, n. — Syn. operations manager responsible for setting policies, managing daily operations and planning the use of materials and human resources.

Reconnaissance, n. — Syn. data collection, survey, analysis.

Regulations, n. — Syn. policies, guidelines or instructions.

Sergeant Major, n. — Syn. advisor in fields such as human resources, training
and labor relations; strong communication, negotiation and advocacy skills.

WLC/BNCOC (Warrior Leader Course/Basic Non-Commissioned Officer Course), n. — Syn. leadership or advanced leadership-development course.

Schools more attentive to the special needs of so-called military brats; creating more opportunities for post-service higher education at community and state
colleges; and promoting wellness options to help service members reintegrate into their communities. But a major facet of Joining Forces is a push to educate employers on the benefits of hiring vets. On its face, that wouldn’t seem to be a hard sell, given the discipline, commitment and training of today’s military.

The Communication Gap

So why do these men and women, particularly those returning from our current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, have such trouble finding jobs? Much of it can be attributed to a general disconnect between those who’ve served in the military and those who haven’t. They simply don’t understand each other. Vince Proffitt, the president of veteran-owned Spartan Medical Inc., a Maryland-based company that distributes specialized equipment for spinal injuries as well as other technologies, sees the problems stemming from civilians being unable to relate to the experiences of service members. Many hiring managers’ only connection to the military is watching Saving Private Ryan; they don’t understand that the skills needed to conduct nighttimepatrols in Iraq are transferable to the jobs they have available.

“I can recognize the value of what these guys have done, but it doesn’t always translate well [to civilians],” says Proffitt, a USAA member and former Air Force intelligence officer. “The idea of ‘dedication’ doesn’t have the same meaning in the civilian world as what I look for. In our career field, to be great, you have to treat it like it’s a career and not a job. That’s why I look to the military veterans, because they’re used to that. That’s what they did. It wasn’t just a job to them, it wasn’t a 9-to-5. It was a lifetime and lifestyle commitment. I don’t know if people outside of [the military] recognize the value of that.”

Step 3 Get the Interview

But educating employers is only one side of the coin — the veterans themselves must be trained in the ABCs of finding a job which many have never had to do in their lives. “Guys will introduce themselves as an HM3 [Navy hospital corpsman 3rd class], and it doesn’t mean anything to a civilian,” says Eric Greitens, a former Navy SEAL and current Navy reservist who is also the best-selling author of The Heart and the Fist.“But if you explain to someone that you were a Navy corpsman and were responsible for providing lifesaving medical treatment in a high-stress combat environment for a platoon of 20 Marines, if you explain that you’re responsible for maintaining X million dollars of medical equipment, all of those things are understandable to a civilian audience,” adds Greitens, a USAA member who is also CEO of The Mission Continues, a St. Louis-based organization that works to help veterans reintegrate into civilian life through volunteerism and community service.

Retired Rear Adm. Dick Young, the chairman of the Colorado branch of Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, sees the same communication gap between employers and vets, some of whom hadn’t so much as bussed tables before joining the military after high school. He recalls one young Army vet who highlighted on his resume that he could fieldstrip and reassemble a rifle in under a minute. “Well, that doesn’t mean anything to the employer,” Young says. “How can he equate that to ‘I’m a good mechanic, I know how to make something work’? I think that’s part of the problem.”

To address it, Young’s group organized a recent job fair for veterans. The first two days of the three-day fair were devoted to teaching vets the basics of finding a job. One class, attended by about 40 people representing every branch of the military, was a crash course in how to dress for a job interview. Among what not to wear were loud clothing, offensive T-shirts, flip-flops and visible piercings. The moderator gave pointers on having sport coats tailored and advice on choosing subtle patterns for dress suits. In another room, civilian volunteers in the human resources field reviewed vets’ resumes to help them reword military jargon into layman’s terms (see “Step 1,” Page 15) and suggested job fields that might mesh with their experience.

“That’s probably the scariest part for them — not knowing where they can go,” says Dawn Beemster, a career services advisor with DeVry University in Denver who volunteered to mentor vets on navigating the job market. “I let them know that they need to be confident in themselves on their resume, and that’s really important.

What is the “perfect resume? The one that gets you hired. That s what Vince Patton tells vets he counsels. “The best way to achieve that goal is to ensure that words and phrases on your resume fit the profile of the position that you’re applying for,” explains Patton, a retired master chief petty officer of the Coast Guard and vice president of corporate outreach at the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association. Vets and civilians often make the mistake of creating one resume instead of tailoring it for each position. We’re taught to be vague, but it s best to have three detailed bullet points rather than 10 irrelevant bullet points, says Linda Sykes, project manager with recruiting firm HRWorks. And never underestimate the power of social networking. “There are a lot of groups on LinkedIn that are military specific. Tap into those groups, Sykes recommends.

That worked for Gary Profit, senior director of military recruiting and programs at Walmart. A lot of people that I didn t even know felt an obligation to help me, he says. The only thing they asked of me is that I accept a similar responsibility. People want to help and are willing to help — you just have to ask them. Profit also cautions against ignoring softer skills, such as leadership and teamwork. He sees
many candidates who focus too much on their technological skills and don t recognize the value of the investment the nation has made in their development as leaders.

And finally, don t try to rush things. “I counsel patience, Profit says. If you start early and you do the right things and you’re patient, I think the probability that you’ll be successful is far greater.” — J.L.

Negotiating the Home Front

Levi Coulter, 27, is one of these struggling vets. The USAA member served six years of active duty with the U.S. Army, which included two deployments to Afghanistan, and is now in the Army Reserve. Since returning from duty he has attended classes at the University of Wyoming and worked odd jobs, but he’s looking for work in the security industry, which he feels is a good match with his combat experience. But he says he was advised to go easy on the details of that combat experience when sitting down with a prospective employer. “I need to say I’m used to being on my feet; I’m alert; I’ve got a lot of stamina; I can secure a perimeter, things like that,” he says. “You don’t want to talk about all the shooting and stuff.”

The military has a program to teach job-finding skills, the Transitional Assistance Program, or TAP, but attendance isn’t required (about a third of outgoing service members don’t participate). Plus, it isn’t offered on every installation and it’s not available to those in the National Guard or the reserves, which account for half of the fighting force since 9/11. The biggest shortcoming is that the TAP syllabus hasn’t been meaningfully updated in more than 19 years, around the dawn of AOL.

Ray Jefferson, the assistant secretary for the Veterans’ Employment and Training Service, recently launched an initiative to update the TAP program and make it more widely available. And he Hiring Heroes Act, introduced in Congress in May, would require outgoing service members to participate in TAP so that they’re better prepared to enter the workforce.

Jason Caron, who was in the Navy from 1990 to 1996 and then in the Army from 2005 to 2008, says getting his master’s degree in business administration was instrumental to landing a human resources job with the Boulder Laboratory, part of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology. Before he was hired, he was unemployed for 18 months, a time he describes as scary, especially being married with two kids. “The problem I ran into was that I was going
against people who were massively overqualified. Having the master’s was key,” says Caron, who was at the job fair recruiting new hires. And even Dunn, the former Navy aircraft mechanic, found success with some advice and training. Proffitt’s company, Spartan Medical, hired him to build and test medical equipment. It’s not in the
aviation field as he hoped, but he says it’s better than heating and air conditioning repair.

Despite these successes, finding meaningful employment remains a challenge for many veterans. Until the TAP program is updated and more widely available, it’s up to both the veterans themselves and their prospective employers — with the help of numerous veterans’ service organizations — to bridge the gap. The struggle they face is as old as war itself.

“Have you ever read The Odyssey?” asks Greitens, the former SEAL who runs The Mission Continues. “This problem, as far as we know, is at least 3,000 years old. Every society, every culture has had to find ways to welcome its warriors home. The Odyssey is the story of a man making the journey from a war zone to his home, the same steps people need to take today in order to be successful in that journey home. “No,” he adds, “this isn’t new. It’s as old as war itself”.
