Check out this \u2018Match.com for veteran employment\u2019"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Col. Mindy Williams took her resume to a civilian recruiter for fine-tuning, she was told that it would \u201cscare people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apparently, the Marine language she was using essentially \u201ctranslates to \u2018hired killer\u2019 in military terminology,\u201d Williams said she was told.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Williams learned, it can be very hard for veterans to explain on a resume how the skills they learned in the military are applicable to civilian jobs. That\u2019s one of the reasons Williams became an investor in <a href=\"https:\/\/veteransascend.com\/\" target=_blank>Veterans Ascend<\/a>, a website that gives veterans a direct link to contact prospective employers and also translates military-speak into the keywords that recruiters are looking for on a resume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAt Veterans Ascend, you have people who served in the military and cut through all the formalities and make that match between a civilian employer and the veteran,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd they know what they\u2019re talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veterans can sign up for free and create a Veterans Ascend profile that contains information about what they did during their military service. Then the site\u2019s algorithm translates that language into layman\u2019s terms, to highlight skills recruiters are looking for. Finally, employers who have also made profiles can match with veterans and contact them for interviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s essentially \u201cMatch.com for veteran employment,\u201d Veterans Ascend CEO Robyn Grable said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBecause we\u2019re matching on skills, veterans are getting the ability to match with jobs they\u2019d never find anywhere else and for jobs they wouldn\u2019t even begin to think their skills would qualify them for,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veterans Ascend launched in late 2018. Grable said that about 2,000 veterans have signed up for it so far, as have several employers. Recently, Lockheed Martin signed up, and the company has pledged to do interviews with at least three veterans, according to Grable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grable believes that Veterans Ascend solves a few issues veterans face when applying for jobs. For one, it eliminates the chance that <a href=\"https:\/\/rebootcamp.militarytimes.com\/veterans\/2019\/03\/28\/a-robot-reading-your-resume-10-tips-for-vets-to-beat-job-screening-software\/\" target=\"_blank\">computer-screening software<\/a> won\u2019t be able to interpret their resumes and will scrap their applications before they ever reach a recruiter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grable hopes that it will also help diminish veteran under-employment as well as unemployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cVeterans can get jobs \u2026 It\u2019s the problem of under-employment and getting good careers that use our skills,\u201d she said. \u201cFor a veteran to come out of the military and get offered a $10-an-hour job to support their family, it\u2019s embarrassing. That\u2019s the bigger issue, getting them into a job that\u2019s commensurate with all their skills.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such a service probably would have helped Stacey Wiggins, Veterans Ascend\u2019s chief operating officer, when he was separating from the military. The Air Force veteran said he went through the military\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benefits.gov\/benefit\/5878\" target=_blank>Transition Assistance Program<\/a> and yet still had to send out about 200 resumes before he landed a job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wiggins believes that Veterans Ascend can help vets who feel like they were \u201cleft hanging\u201d after TAP didn\u2019t prepare them well enough for finding civilian employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNetworking is one of the most important things, because it really is about those connections,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019re trying to do. We\u2019re trying to facilitate those connections.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Williams also felt that TAP didn\u2019t get her sufficiently ready for life after the military. That lack of preparation creates a huge divide between what employers want to see from veterans and what veterans think employers are looking for, Williams said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf we could focus on that chasm, we could have results,\u201d she said. \u201cI think that Veterans Ascend does provide a really great fix to the chasm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A very small percentage of the population has served in the military or has an immediate family member who has served. That means there\u2019s a gap in civilian knowledge out there about the terminology the military utilizes to describe skills that could translate to a civilian workplace, Grable said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThose are skills that go across every civilian occupation,\u201d Grable said. \u201cBut employees are missing out on these people because employers don\u2019t understand those skills.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veterans Ascend hopes to bridge these gaps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI just really want all the veterans and all the employers to jump on this bandwagon,\u201d Williams said. \u201cIt could do great stuff for both.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This national website not only gives veterans a direct link to contact potential employers but also translates military-speak into the keywords that recruiters are looking for on a resume.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":62380,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":25,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":{"4":{"categories":["veterans","your-air-force","news","daily-news-roundup","newsletters"],"primary_category":"veterans"},"5":{"categories":["veterans","your-army","news","daily-news-roundup","newsletters"],"primary_category":"veterans"},"6":{"categories":["veterans","news","daily-news-roundup","newsletters"],"primary_category":"veterans"},"7":{"categories":["veterans","your-navy","news","daily-news-roundup","newsletters"],"primary_category":"veterans"}}},"categories":[9,15,25,88],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3203],"class_list":["post-55262","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education-transition","category-news","category-veterans","category-your-military"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"S7Z5PQJLY5BOBE47KCC3LWVQEE","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/employment\/2019\/05\/02\/having-trouble-finding-a-job-check-out-this-matchcom-for-veteran-employment\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Having trouble finding a job?
