This partnership falls in line with the "100,000 Jobs Mission", a campaign launched by a coalition of 50 U.S. Corporations, which included JP Morgan Chase, in March 2011. Members of the coalition aim to hire 100,000 veterans collectively by 2020. For more information about the campaign, coalition members, and/or jobs for veterans please see the "100,000 Jobs Mission" website http://www.100000jobsmission.com/

HirePatriots.com: Saving heroes through the power of community-wide partnerships

HirePatriots began as a response to a Marine who returned from Iraq to discover his wife and two small children living without utilities, due to his wife being laid off while he was deployed. He knocked on the founders’ door and asked: "Sir, Ma’am, I need to earn some money right away to get the electric and gas turned on in my home for my family. Do you have any work that I can do for you right now around your home or yard?"

 

And so in 2004 a free job board for residents and businesses was launched across America so that they could hire their local military, veterans and their spouses, either for One Day, Part time or Full Time: www.HirePatriots.com.

HirePatriots’ One Day jobs are the only employment safety net that our military and recently transitioned veterans have. Tens of thousands of US residents every year pitch in and help out by posting their chores and repairs when they need help.  In fact, so many residents embrace this program that HirePatriots received the “Visionary Award for Creating Economic Development.”

So pitch in today and Help Save a Hero. –Post your job(s) and hire a local US military, veteran or spouse today. Say thank you in a way that makes a difference. – Be a Hero: Save a Hero! – HirePatriots.com!

ResumeBear's new partnerships further aid job seekers

"Looking for work" seems to be a common theme these days and people usually turn to one or several online job boards to do so. One of these job boards is ResumeBear. In case you were wondering, this site's unique feature is their "real-time resume tracking" service which allows job seekers to "track" their resume after applying for a job (e.g. see if it's being read, printed). To help bring more services to their clients, ResumeBear has partnered with HirePatriots.com, TrustedID, and Resume2Hire. These three new partnerships will further help military veterans and their spouses look for work and job seekers in general prevent identity theft and get help on writing or improving their resumes from certified resume writers. There is no cost to use ResumeBear and most of its services.

These three new partnerships seem to be a given. If ResumeBear is to gain the edge over its competitors, it needs to offer its clients great services. With many people out of work, free job boards that offer great services not only benefits the company by attracting more clients but the community by putting people back to work.
