The Naval Reserve Association Partners with VetJobs

For Immediate Release

Atlanta, GA: The Naval Reserve Association, a professional organization of 22,000 U. S. Navy Reservists, announces a partnership with VetJobs to provide a job board service on the NRA website, www.navy-reserve.org. The VetJobs job board is populated with up-to-date job opportunities from employers that are interested in hiring people with skills that are typical of Navy men and women. Many employers are seeking to employ those who have security clearances and extensive background checks.

According to RADM Casey W. Coane, USN (ret), “This new service of the Naval Reserve Association is indicative of the organizational focus on the well-being of Navy Reserve members, officer and enlisted, and their families.” The navy-reserve.org website has been extensively upgraded and demonstrates the multitude of services and activities for members. The association encourages membership from all branches of the U. S. Navy including active duty.

VetJobs is recognized in the industry as the leading recruitment site to reach the military market. VetJobs is the five time recipient of the WEDDLE’s User’s Choice Award and is a Workforce Management top 10 recruiting site. VetJobs CEO, Ted Daywalt, a long standing member of the Naval Reserve Association and a retired U. S. Navy Captain, states, “These recognitions mark VetJobs as the leading military job board and career site on the Internet out of over 50,000 career sites! Tens of thousands of candidates have found jobs with over 5,000 companies who have used VetJobs over the last eight years.”

The first company to post openings on the new jobs board and become an enterprise member of the Naval Reserve Association jobs board is Shaw Group (shawgrp.com). Shaw Group is the world’s leading solutions based company that develops, designs, builds and operates programs and facilities for its clients including the U. S. Navy. Shaw Group provides services in the nuclear power, petrochemical and environmental sciences sectors, to name a few, with over 25,000 employees in strategic locations around the world. “This is a tremendous opportunity for individuals with prior naval or military education, training and experience to match their talents and skills with similar civilian jobs and a supportive employer”, says Larry Bright, Senior Director of Human Resources for Shaw.
