This is the time of year when everyone, for no particular reason is cheery to one another; some actually even go out of their way to be friendly. It is unfortunate this is a cyclic phenomenon; although I will take what I can get. I am also not so foolish to think that we will all be singing Kumbayah soon; it’s hard to do the right thing...

But too often, they muddle up the water and make finding an effective and immediate solution impossible. – In truth, any real and effective answers to our problems will not come from our politicians. They will come from US citizens! Here is all that we need...

Dear Mark and Tori Baird,I saw the write up about your upcoming marriage retreat for our local Marines and veterans in the NC Times, then went online to read more. – But I want to let you that I found Scott, a local active duty Marine on HirePatriots.

Is creativity key at finding Veterans work, jobs or career?

Is creativity key at finding Veterans work, jobs or career?

Marine Veteran, Justin C. Pfeifer, definitely answers yes to this question. Justin, as so many of our Veterans experience, was dealing with the increased anxiety unemployment can place on a Veteran while coping with PTSD. Justin was looking for work in all of the traditional ways just like everyone else. Yet as our unemployment rate continues to grow, as high as 22% for Veterans, the ability for transitioning soldiers to find sustainable, national job opportunities for Veterans, seems to have become extremely difficult. As thousands of our Soldiers return, this scenario will quickly multiply, especially when everyone is standing in the same unemployment lines with similar backgrounds waiting and hoping to be picked.
