Monster Co-Chairing NVTC Veterans Employment Initiative

August 21, 2013 – Monster has announced that it is co-chairing the Northern Virginia Technology Council (NVTC) Veterans Employment Initiative and powering its online community and job board. Monster developed the online career site and the tools within it that veterans and employers will be using. Those tools include the online community itself, and, for veterans, a Military Skills Translator, resume builder, career advice and a job search function. For employers, Monster’s job search technology, Power Resume Search, is made available to NVTC members along with job posting capabilities and free access to the veteran resume database with more than 800,000 veteran resumes. Steve Cooker, EVP, global government solutions for Monster Worldwide, who serves as a co-chair of the NVTC Veterans Employment Initiative, said: “Part of our deep and rich legacy working with the military and veterans comes from our subsidiary, Military.com. We also develop innovative solutions that help put veterans back to work – the military skills translator is a perfect example. Plus, we live here. We’re part of the Northern Virginia business community and we saw this NVTC initiative bringing all of those elements together right in our back yard.”
