Our Veterans, America's sons and daughters, pursued a noble cause to protect and defend our nation’s freedoms. I'll give you three reasons why our Veterans are struggling to find jobs when they transition:

1) The military has their own language that employers and recruiters don't understand.

2) The civilian world only sees tactical training, marketing our nation's strength. The routine business side of the military isn't glamorous and therefore not highlighted. This compounds the confusion and misunderstanding of what our Veterans actually do.

3) Employers don't understand the complex organizational structure of the military and therefore do not know which job that is best for that transitioning Veteran.

Now, I'd like you to answer the next three questions:

1) Do you inherently believe Veterans would be an incredible value to your company?

2) Would your company, hiring managers or recruiters benefit from having a simple cliff note of military training translation for business to understand where transitioning Veterans fit?

3) Would your company, hiring managers or recruiters benefit from a "phone a friend" service - answering Veteran hiring related questions?

If you answered yes to any of the above three questions then look no further than VNOTES - Veteran Notes Outline Training Education and Service. VNOTES was founded by a Veteran, a talent recruiter and entrepreneur (all military spouses). Through VNOTES educational resources, tools and consulting services, VNOTES is educating employers on military training to enable them to hire a Veteran.
