TacJobs – Veteran Central

Wednesday, May 30th, 2012

Are you a Veteran and looking for somewhere to network and maybe find a job? While researching Veteran suicide with his brother-in-law Paul McDonald, Veteran Central founder Jonathon Lunardi learned how challenging it can be for service members to return to civilian life and earn a living. Together, they created Veteran Central, a job resource and development network exclusively for Veterans.

They work with Navy Veteran Michael Barrett who serves as the site’s Director of Sales to provide information on job seeking as well as resources for psychological support.

They’ve also created a job listing board where vacancies are peer-reviewed and made available to Veterans. Don’t worry. One of the things they take into consideration is the job level. The site has a decidedly blue collar feel many will be comfortable with and the jobs are the kinds of things you can step into. You don’t need a college degree or years of experience in some arcane subject to get hired here. These are the types of things you pick up in the service and Veteran Central wants you to get a job.

Check it out. It might be just the thing you’ve been looking for.
