A day in the life of RecruitMilitary

One of our Senior Vice Presidents just sent me a synopsis of what happened on a very recent Thursday - here is the synopsis in its entirety:

A Day in the Life of RecruitMilitary

Today, we served an estimated 3,300+ transitioning and veteran military. Let’s count ‘em up:

Today, we produced three Opportunity Expos: at the American Legion’s summit meeting in Washington, D.C.; at LP Field, home of the Tennessee Titans, in Nashville; and at MinuteMaid Park, home of the Houston Astros. We hosted a total of 1,000+ veterans at the three events.  A total of 134 veteran-friendly organizations exhibited, including 10 federal agencies that are required to comply with President Obama’s Executive Order on veteran hiring initiatives within the Executive Branch.
 
Incidentally, our Expos always get great media coverage. Here is a sample of just our TV coverage in Nashville: WTVF-TV CBS 5 Morning Show Pre-Event Coverage: http://www.newschannel5.com/Global/story.asp?S=12042052. WSMV-TV NBC 4: http://www.wsmv.com/news/22670631/detail.html

Today, 341 veterans registered as job seekers at our database at www.recruimilitary.com, joining 400,000+ who had already done so.  
 
Today, hundreds of transitioning military picked up copies of our print magazine, Search & Employ at military bases throughout the world. It is hard to pin down exactly how many veterans read the magazine on any given day; but, based on our circulation, roughly 500 may well have picked it up today.

Today, hundreds of veterans visited our website. We had about 60,000 unique visitors this month —an average of 2,100+ per day. We can’t be sure how many of today's visitors were veterans who did not attend attend any of the three Expos and who did not register today. But, based on our experience, we would estimate the number at 1,500.

Today was a great day.

Job Central is going to help us promote our career fairs - 68 nationally this year - to their member companies.  We are also collaborating on other ways to match deserving veterans with employment opportunities.

Obama's Stimulus Means Law Enforcement is Hiring

The floodgates opened up on funding from the Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which was signed into law a little more than two weeks ago.  And today, the Department of Justice announced $2 billion in law enforcement stimulus funding.

The money immediately flowed to the states, counties, and cities.  Pennyslvania picked up $72 million, New Jersey $48 million, Virginia $39 million, and so on.  The money is specifically to be used for equipment and hiring.

The news wire was flooded with reports across the country about agencies receiving funds.

So check with your local law enforcement agency - and apply around.  It looks like this sector, at least, is well funded and hiring.
