On Fridays, we take a look back at the week that was, and show you five of our favorite career-advice articles -- tips and news you may have missed during your busy week. This Friday, of course, is Veterans Day -- so our five picks are all about thanking and honoring our country's heroes.
A lot of companies are saying "thank you" today -- and gratitude is important. But Monster is doing something more for our returning vets -- something tangible -- by providing free job-search resources, as well as practical advice and tools that will help them get jobs, build careers, and provide for their future and their families.
Just for example -- all vets who are looking for a job should register today for Monster and Military.com's Veterans Virtual Career Fair, scheduled November 14 to 18 -- it's free; all you need is an Internet connection to interact with more than 30 national employers such as Lowe's, DHL, PG&E, Verizon, and more.
Monster's activities this week highlight our commitment to honoring and lending a helping hand to U.S. veterans:
5. Our commitment to veterans starts at the top -- read Monster CEO Sal Iannuzzi's Forbes.com article "Hiring Nation's Heroes Is Good Business."
4. And when it comes to veterans, we definitely put them in their place -- that is, in leadership roles at Monster. For our company, hiring veterans is more than a best practice; it's a value we live every day. Read "Military in Action: Saluting Monster's Veteran Voices with Jeff Quinn."
3. This week, Monster also checked in with one of our most inspiring success stories -- one of the many people who have found a dream job on Monster. Read "Veteran and Monster.com Success Story Dan Blasini Shares Career Advice."
2. It all starts with a resume -- and Monster partner Military.com has some advice on that. Read "Out of Uniform: Resume Tips for Making the Transition." (And check out a great resume-writing tool from Military.com: the Military Skills Translator.)
1. And of course, networking is key in any job search. So this week, we collected a summary of advice and resources for vets. Read "Networking Tips for Veterans."
