VETJOBS LEADING JOB BOARD FOR VETERANS
Marietta, GA, April 13, 2006 – VetJobs (www.vetjobs.com), the nation’s largest military-related Internet job board has been endorsed by the Vietnam Veterans of America (www.vva.org). VetJobs is the only job board to receive an endorsement from the Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA).
“We are very pleased to have been selected for this distinctive endorsement by the Vietnam Veterans of America!” said VetJobs President Ted Daywalt. “This is an important endorsement since most of the 12.6 million veterans currently in the work force are from the Vietnam era. There are over 40,000 job boards and career portals in operation on the Internet. Knowing which site offers the best services and support for our veterans and their family members can spell the difference between success and failure in the job search. Through this endorsement the VVA has joined other veteran service organization in recognizing that VetJobs is the leading job board supporting veterans and their family members.”
“We at Vietnam Veterans of America are pleased to endorse VetJobs, the nation’s largest military-related job board on the Internet,” said John Rowan, VVA National President. “With the unemployment rate of newly discharged military veterans hovering around 15 percent-three times the national unemployment rate-VetJobs is a key resource for them and for Vietnam-era veterans too young to retire.”
“We have looked at many sites that purport to provide jobs for veterans and their family members,” Rowan said. “Our endorsement is meant to let our members know that VVA recognizes the success that VetJobs has had in finding quality jobs for thousands of veterans and their family members. We encourage them to use the VetJobs site: www.VetJobs.com.”
