| Read Our Blog Read Our Blog Blog Blackhawk Lands at Veterans Forward: Meet Bobby Wise Bobby Wise August 26, 2014 Veterans Forward, Workforce 1 When I interviewed for my current place at National Able Network with the Veterans Forwardprogram, the group requested me what I thought we did here. I’ll be the primary to confess, I was stumped. I had by no means been specifically employed in workforce growth before. The time period itself was entirely alien to me. I knew Veterans Forward and National Able Network as a whole obtained individuals jobs, but the means of how that worked was unfamiliar to me. Fortunately the group here takes care of the brand new man and over the last month I’ve been able to learn more about how our staff of career coaches turns unemployed veterans into ideal candidates for businesses in a wide range of fields. The first step is instructing our purchasers that essentially the most highly effective job search device isn’t any job board on-line, however their own network. Eighty p.c of posi tions are stuffed via skilled networks (including one hundred pc of the civilian jobs I’ve crammed). This is especially true in a metropolis like Chicago where our motto might as nicely be, “I obtained a guy.” Through on-the-job training alternatives, resume and LinkedIn profile improvement, and counseling to translate military expertise into concrete expertise in demand by employers, Veterans Forward helps unemployed vets uncover they are still the “man” somebody wants. Building that narrative may be essentially the most valuable service Veterans Forward presents. In my life I’ve labored for small household companies and big nationwide political campaigns. I’ve been a carpenter, a soldier, a mechanic, an activist, a trainer, a social media skilled, and a bona fide workplace drone (typically filling a number of of these roles directly). Aside from my military training that certified me to be a Blackhawk helicopter crew chief, I by no means entered one of those position s with a certificates saying I was a kind of things. The training that got me in these doors was courtesy of growing up with my father, the salesman. He taught me probably the most valuable traits to take care of in life are to be adaptable, to be a life-long learner, and to actually talk who I am and who I may be. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to teach those lessons as a Veterans Forward Career Coach.
