Qualifications for Veteran Status

Qualifications for Veteran StatusQualifications for Veteran StatusHonorable service in the military typically makes you a veteran for life. To be eligible for the variety of veteran benefits depends upon many elements from time in service, permanent injury. What is a veteran? Title 38 of the Code of Federal Regulations defines a veteran as a person who served in the active military, naval, or air service and who welches discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable.This definition explains that any individual that completed a service for any branch of armed forces classifies as a veteran as long as they were not dishonorably discharged. Types of Veterans There are different types of veterans, but regardless of the type, they are all veterans. The types of veterans below offer different awards and benefits from home loans,retirement and medical/dental. Other offered benefits allow for retired veterans to have base access and store privilegesand all veterans are o ffered the GI Bill if they opted in at some point in their career. War Veteran - Any active duty or reserve military member who has been in the area of conflict in another country or surrounding waters in support ofactivity against a national enemy. Combat Veteran - Active duty or reserve military members who experience any level of combat for any duration resulting from offensive, defensive or friendly fire military action involving an enemy in any foreign theater. Retired Veteran Retired veterans serve a minimum of twenty years of active duty or reserve duty. Medically retired veterans receive injuries that prevent them from remaining active duty and are thereby retired regardless of years of service. Retirees are eligible for supplementary federal benefits, privileges, and access to military installations, and some VA services. Disabled Veteran Any former active duty or reserve military member who was injured through combat action or peacetime accident while serving on duty a nd is permanently injured. The National Importance of Veterans In 1954, President Eisenhower officially changed the name of the holiday from Armistice Day to Veterans Day. Every President has honored our military members in some fashion since George Washington who wisely stated The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the Veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation. George Washington Honor to the soldier and sailor everywhere, who bravely bears his countrys cause. Honor, also, to the citizen who cares for his brother in the field and serves, as he best can, the same cause. Abraham Lincoln I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction I served in the United States Navy. John F. Kennedy Some people liv e an entire lifetime and wonder if they have ever made a difference in the world, but the Marines dont have that problem. Ronald Reagan Why We Recognize the Veteran A popular veteran phrase often seen on Veterans DayA veteran whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve is someone who, at one point in his or her life wrote a blank check to their government for an amount of up to and including his or her life. Another classic veteran quote that demonstrates the many freedoms that we have the veteran is responsible for defending - even with his/her life if necessary. It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the organizer, who gave us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag. Father Dennis Edward OBrien, USMC W e Sleep Peacefully At Night - Thanks to the Veteran We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm. George Orwell

October 2017 Jobs Report Summary

October 2017 Jobs Report SummaryOctober 2017 Jobs Report SummaryEmployers added 261,000 in October, according to the latest jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BLS also noted that Septembers employment picture was not as gloomy as initially reported. The bureau revised Septembers loss of 33,000 jobs to a gain of 18,000 jobs. Since the start of 2017, U.S. employers have added nearly 1.7 1000000 positions, or about 168,500 jobs per month, on average.October 2017 unemployment rateThe unemployment rate edged down in October to 4.1 percent - the lowest since December 2000.The unemployment rate for college-degreed workers dropped to 2.0 percent. Professionals in this group are the most highly sought-after workers by employers.Hottest industriesThe biggest job gains were in the leisure and hospitality sector, which added 106,000 jobs in October. This growth offset a decline in September that was largely due to the impact of Hurricanes Irma and Harvey.The professional and geschftsleben services sector and healthcare sector also saw growth in October. Employers in professional and business services created 50,000 jobs last month. That figure is in line with the sectors average monthly gains over the prior 12 months.Healthcare, meanwhile, increased by 22,000 jobs. Employers in this sector have added an average of 24,000 jobs per month thus far in 2017.What employers need to knowFor businesses in hiring mode, the October jobs report underscores the steep challenge employers face in the current market. The unemployment rate is at 17-year low - which means few skilled workers are actively landseeking new opportunities. Further evidence of the lack of available candidates is the most Job Openings and Labor Turnover (JOLTS) survey, which found that 6.1 million positions were open on the last business day of August.One strategy employers can use to increase their chances of attracting top talent is focusing on the five CsCompensationCorporate cultureCo mmuteCareer pathCost of livingCompensation is always important, of course, and your firm should be paying competitive salaries to hire - and keep - top talent. However, Robert Half recruiters across the country also see that job candidates are highly focused on factors that can impact their quality of life. So, during the hiring process, be sure to provide details about professional development opportunities, work-life balance programs and other perks that make your company a great place to work.What job seekers need to knowIn this very competitive hiring environment, highly skilled workers may find they receive multiple job offers. That sounds like an enviable situation - and it is - but it also can be a bit overwhelming. You may have difficulty homing in on the right opportunity when faced with a range of offers for similar positions with similar compensation and benefits packages.One way to winnow down your options is to focus on what you need most to be satisfied at work. If professional development opportunities are an absolute must, for example, identify the employer that is willing to invest in this area. If that company isnt offering a compensation package as competitive as those offered by other firms youre considering, go back to the hiring manager to see if its possible to negotiate salary. If youre a top pick for the firm, they may be willing to meet your terms. Let us help you find the right fitREQUEST TALENTSUBMIT A RESUME

Common Mistakes to Avoid After Being Laid Off

Common Mistakes to Avoid After Being Laid OffCommon Mistakes to Avoid After Being Laid OffHave you been laid off? Maybe your position was the only position cut or maybe you were laid off with an entire department. The feelings caused by being laid off are largely the same regardless of your circumstances. But its important to take your next steps based on rational thought, not emotions. To start on the path to career recovery, avoid making these 5 mistakes after being laid off. Badmouthing the Employer Who Laid You off You worked hard for your old company, often sacrificing family and personal time. Being laid off can feel like denial or rejection of all that honest effort. Dont let your hurt feelings goad you into talking badly about your employer. Remember that everyone you speak with is a fhigkeit networking contact. You dont know what opportunities your neighbor or fellow carpool parent might open to you - and you wont find out if they think youre a loose cannon or disgruntl ed employee. Try to remain respectful when asked about the layoff and your past employer, or just stay quiet. Remember the old saying If you cant say something nice, dont say anything at all. Hiding the Layoff From Family Losing your job can be traumatic. For many of us, our identity is tied to our work. We may not feel that we know who we are without our position. As hard as it may be to talk about the layoff, its important to do so with your spouse and close family. Dont try to hide it. Youll need their love and betreuung to get you back on your feet. Dont feel rushed to explain the situation to your children, though. Its okay to take some time for the feelings to be less raw. Jumping Into a Job Search Believe it or not, some people go straight from the layoff announcement to their computer to post a resumeor update their LinkedIn profile. Instead of jumping right into a job search rethink your career path. Use some quiet time to list all your accomplishments and highlight those that meant the most to you. What tasks did you enjoy? Which projects inspired and stimulated you? You may find that you would be happier in a slightly different role or job. Youll certainly come up with concrete achievements to put on your resume and cover letters. Once youve thought through your next steps and goals, you will be more targeted - and effective - in your networking. Dwelling on the Negative Just as you shouldnt badmouth your employer, dont talk negatively about yourself Without thinking, many working women downplay their career contributions or prospects, especially in social conversations. Your acquaintances will be uncomfortable hearing about layoffs, because it reminds them they, too, are vulnerable. Give them the opportunity to help you by talking about the positive career steps you want to take. If, for example, youre at your kids soccer game and a fellow parent asks what youre doing, make sure you have a career position update about your layoff and the next steps you want to take. For example Because of a recent merger, my employer eliminated a number of duplicate positions, including mine. Im taking the opportunity to make a career move from marketing to strategic communications. Im a marketing and communications manager with over 10 years of experience working for private companies and nonprofit organizations.The recent reorganization of ABC company led to 120 job cuts, including mine. Im a human resources executive with 15 years of experience working closely with corporate leadership and implementing new systems. My objective is to find a position where I can continue to serve as a catalyst for orderly and profitable workforce change. Due to the struggling economy, XYZ company let go a dozen employees, including me. I am currently exploring opportunities that would take advantage of my engineering and manufacturing background, and my successful record of boosting sales. Becoming Isolated or Web-Bound You know theres lot s of great information on the internet, and certainly, you can easily spend hours every day submitting your resume online. But staying behind the computer and surfing will only take you so far. To land a new job, you must meet people in person and get out of your home. The vast majority of open positions are never even posted publicly. If you talk to 25 hiring managers, you will most likely get a job offer. These conversations dont even need to be job interviews. If you line up informational interviews with organizations you admire, the next time a position becomes available the hiring manager will think of you. You also need the support and positive feedback that comes from having coffee or lunch with former colleagues familiar with your best work. Set a goal, such as having two networking calls a day and two or three in-person meetings a week. When you talk to people youve worked with in the past, theyll learn what you accomplished recently and where you want to go next. So whethe r you pick up the phone or send an email, reach out to the people who will lead you to your next great job. Edited byElizabeth McGrory

Rex Tillerson Integrity is the most valuable asset you have

Rex Tillerson Integrity is the most valuable asset you haveRex Tillerson Integrity is the most valuable asset you haveThe former U.S. Secretary of State and former CEO of ExxonMobil, Rex Tillerson, delivered the commencement address today at the Virginia Military Institute.In his speech, Tillerson highlighted the importance of personal integrity and what he considers the key to leadership.Watch the video of his full remarkshereMaintain and protect who you are, and remember that being a person with integrity is the most valuable asset you have, Tillerson said in his speech to graduates.Dont ever let anyone take it from you. Carefully consider the values and culture of the organizations in which you seek to work. Look for employers who set high standards for personal conduct and who reward ethical leadership. Identify mentors who exemplify integrity and leadership excellence, he said.Developing as a leader largely comes from also practicing good followership. See how the leaders you ar e following carry themselves, how they manage their responsibilities, study how they communicate and make decisions, observe how they learn from mistakes and missteps - their own and those of others.A national crisis of ethics and integrityTillersons speech also touched on the state of the country.As I reflect upon the state of American democracy, he told the VMI Class of 2018, I observe a growing crisis in ethics and integrity.If we do not as Americans confront the crisis of ethics and integrity in ur society and among our leaders in both public and private sector - and regrettably, at times, even the non-profit sector - then American democracy, as we know it, is entering its twilight years.He also said If our leaders seek to conceal the truth, or we as people become accepting of alternative realities that are no longer grounded in facts, then we as American citizens are on a pathway to relinquishing our freedom. A responsibility of every American citizen to each other is to pre serve and protect our freedom by recognizing what truth is and is not, what a fact is and is not, and begin by holding ourselves accountable to truthfulness, and demand our pursuit of Americas future be fact-based.

Orville Wright

Orville Wright Orville Wright Orville WrightOrville Wright (1871 1948) welches born on August 19, 1871, in Dayton, OH, and the fact that his father of was a man of God might explain his sons preoccupation with lofting mankind into the heavens. But it wasnt the celestial focus of Wright senior, who was bishop of Evangelical United Brethren Church, that inspired his son. Rather it was a miniature Penaud helicopter he brought home from one of his many travels on church business that sparked the then-7-year-old Orvilles desire to take flight.Until he figured out how, Orville contented himself with sending other objects into mid-air, including the kites he started building when the Wright family moved to Richmond, IN, in 1881. For a time, once the Wrights relocated back to Ohio, Orville even became interested in the newspaper business. It was a hobby he took up while attending Dayton Central High School, and he dropped out during his junior year to pursue it. In short order, he opened hi s own print shop, the centerpiece of which was a printing press he designed and built himself. In 1889, he and his brother Wilbur launched their first formal collaboration a weekly paper, the Dayton West Side News, which Wilbur edited with Orville as publisher.With his brother Wilbur, Orville Wright made history by achieving the first powered, sustained, controlled flight of an airplane.With such stores of ambition and creative ability, Orville and Wilbur, who were essentially high school dropouts, never let the lack of a formal degree hold them back. We were lucky enough to grow up in an environment where there was always much encouragement to children to pursue intellectual interests to investigate whatever aroused curiosity, said Orville, who, after dabbling in the newspaper business, turned his attention to bicycles. Wilbur shared this newfound interest with Orville and much of the country thanks to the invention of the safety bicycle, which had set off a national biking boom. U nlike the huge front-wheeled pennyfarthing, the bicycle that had every one pedaling up a storm had two similarly sized wheels, pneumatic tires, and a chain drive to the rear wheel, all of which improved comfort and speed. Cashing in on the craze, the brothers opened a bicycle shop in 1892, where they sold, repaired, and manufactured a bike of their own design, equipped with a self-oiling wheel hub Orville invented.Despite their success, the Wright brothers hadnt forgotten their love of aeronautics. Spurred on by a desire to correct the design flaws responsible for the 1896 fatal glider crash of a renowned German aviator they followed, Otto Lilienthal, the brothers began to design their own flying machine. Working to build on the successes of Lilienthals glider and the wings that Samuel Langley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, had used to power the series of aerodromes he built, the Wrights set about solving the problem that still confounded the days aviation experts how to control the aircraft.Finding parallels to the innate control bicycle riders can exert once they learn to balance and steer, the brothers focused on how to control their airplane in the three separate axes when in midflight yaw (right and left), pitch (up and down), and the harder-to-manage axis that was unique to airplanes the lateral and roll. The brothers drew upon the technology used to control boats and elevators to solve the problems posed by the first two axes. But, as Tom Crouch, author of The Wright Brothers and The Invention of the Aerial Age and The Bishops Boys A Life of Wilbur and Orville Wright (Norton, 2003), told the story in a November 2003 Nova interview, Wilbur, idly fiddling around with an inner tube in the bike shop, yielded a discovery that gave the Wrights their idea for how to deal with the third axisWilbur realized that if you could create motion on the wings of a biplane so that the wing tip on one side was forced up while the other side was forced down, th en you would have a means of controlling the airplane in lateral motion, in the roll motion. This techniqueputting a twist of this sort all the way across the wings of a biplane to control its motion in rollbecame known as wing warping.The brothers applied this method first to a biplane kit, which they fitted with wings that could be mechanically twisted, then to the full-scale gliders they built in 1900 and 1901. They then continued to experiment with wing designs, which they tested in a wind tunnel they built in their bicycle shop. Finally in December 1903, they had a power model ready for testing. On December 17, in Kitty Hawk, NC, their aircraft made its maiden voyageand the Wright brothers made history. Orville took the first flight, which lasted but 12 seconds and traveled only 120 feet, but Wilbur in a flight later that day stayed aloft 59 seconds and traveled 852 feet.Ironically, the flights received little press coverage because the media couldnt believe the story was true. Soon, however, the Wrights won over the public, who became captivated by their feat. The U.S. government was a tougher sell the brothers attempts to pitch their designs to the military were unsuccessful. But undaunted, they continued refining their designs, and in July 1909, after Orville flew a demonstration sortie for the U.S. Army, they sold their first plane for $30,000. That was the beginning of a very successful aviation business, which they used, in part, to build a family manse, where the brothers planned to live with their father and sister, Katherine.Sadly, however, Wilbur died in 1912 of typhoid fever, leaving Orville to carry on their work alone. In 1916, Orville sold the company, in order to focus exclusively on research. He joined NASA predecessor the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) when it was in its infancy and served as a member for 28 years. In 1930, he was awarded the first Daniel Guggenheim Medal for great achievements in aeronautics and was e lected a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Orville Wright died in Dayton, Ohio, on January 30, 1948, at the age of 72.Marion Hart is an independent writer.Finding parallels to the innate control bicycle riders can exert once they learn to balance and steer, the brothers focused on how to control their airplane in the three separate axes when in midflight.
