I wanted to take an opportunity to share with you what NAVNET is and What it can do for you?
As a CCC, one of my roles is to assist service members with their transition to civilian employment. Since I will be doing this soon it is very personal to me.
NAVNET is a network of 1. Active Duty Members, 2. Veterans, 3. Hiring Managers, last I knew the entire number of participants was over 33,000 members (obviously some more active than others).
So, Does NAVNET help?
1. The Points of contact, will routinely email job openings along with location, required qualifications, and job description they will also forward resumes at your request to members.
2. With so many members, most companies, especially larger companies friendly to veterans, have someone working there that is a NAVNET member, so you can contact them and request info about available jobs by putting NAVNET in the subject they agree to respond.
3. They host informal breakfast meetings where attendees, get a minute or two introduce themselves, describe a position they are looking for or one that is available in their company. Attendees eat during introductions and then they are encouraged to meet interested employers or employees, the whole process in San Diego takes about an hour and typically has 40 to 50 attendees.
So if you are interested in becoming a member what can you do?
If you are on the East coast, contact Loren.Heckelman@cox.net (http://www.gmx.com/callgate-4.27.1.0/rms/4.27.1.0/mail/getBody?folderId=6&messageId=SLiKfmZK6DOw1OkbjmZwJU91ZUVSRBf0&purpose=display&bodyType=html#) or Bgreen1800@aol.com on the west coast contact tjhammons@aol.com
Let them know you are interested in becoming a member and ask them what information they need to add you to the membership list.
Oh, did I mention there are no membership fees, paid subscriptions, or services, it's all free.
I welcome comments and encourage you to add your story about how NAVNET worked for you.
