VetJobs averages more job postings than any other military or intelligence related job board!

VetJobs publishes a monthly newsletter for veterans called the Veteran Eagle. The newsletter has vital information about employment and the market, as well as topics of interest to people who have been associated with the military. Many military personnel who transition to the civilian sector often feel they are under-employed for up to four years after separation. This is frequently because a) the hiring companies do not fully appreciate the technical skills and leadership ability of a person who has served in the military or b) the military person was not fully knowledgeable of how to approach the civilian job market. Over the last nine years, VetJobs has changed this situation. VetJobs is for ALL uniformed personnel, enlisted and officer, who has served in one of the military branches of the United States.
