Unfortunately, Thomas couldn’t avoid it. He labored as a Senior Recruiter for a significant bank for over a year before being laid off. As a ten yr U.S. Army Veteran with a Master’s Degree in Finance and Accounting, Thomas didn’t count on to be out of labor for very lengthy, however he discovered it tough to seek out employment. He came to National Able Network and commenced working with Able’s Veterans Forward program to entry veteran-unique job leads and Job Readiness Training to arrange him for upcoming job interviews. In March 2014, Veterans Career Coach Michelle Malone alerted Thomas of a Job Readiness Training and Hiring Event hosted by Veterans Forward at Malcolm X College. It wasthere that Thomas met with recruiters from BMO Ha rris Bank and was provided an opportunity to interview for a logistics position with the company. Just a couple of weeks later, Thomas was hired full-time! Thomas credits the Veterans Forward program for giving him the chance to discover a steady profession. “They had been very instrumental in serving to me get a job. I had a fantastic expertise. The Veterans Forward program is very conscientious of Veteran’s needs.” Congratulations, Thomas!
