4/9/2014 - POPE FIELD, N.C. -- Searching
for a new job is a big undertaking. That's why the Family Readiness
Center here added a new resource to help Citizen Airmen explore career
paths and find jobs with the recent addition of a new Hero2Hired kiosk
in their lobby.
Created to make it easy for Reserve Component service members to find
jobs, H2H is a powerful, comprehensive employment program that includes a
focused marketing component. It contains everything a job seeker needs
including job listings, career exploration tools, education and training
resources, tips for resume writing and interviewing, and networking and
mentoring opportunities.
Additionally, H2H gives military-friendly companies access to
job-seeking service members, allowing employers to post job openings,
search for candidates and invite them to apply, and participate in
hiring events.
"This is a great resource for reservists as well as their spouses to
search for civilian careers and job vacancies," said Master Sgt. Barbara
Hedman, 440th Force Support Squadron Readiness NCOIC. "All armed forces
can use this website, but reservists and guardsman have an advantage of
being assigned an Employment Transition Coordinator, who in a sense
acts as a head hunter in helping the member or spouse find a job. ETCs
are veterans who are well connected with employers within the
community," Hedman said.
H2H is a multi-component program that uses an electronic job and career
web platform, mobile job store, virtual and physical career fairs,
mobile application, Facebook integration and armory/reserve center kits
and kiosks to provide means for service members to explore its
influential services with support through the Department of Defense's
Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program.
