Calling All Vets: What’s Your Experience in the Civilian Workplace?
Thursday, November 19th, 2009 • Uncategorized •
This is a shout out to all you vets who have returned home and faced re-entry into the civilian job market. Not always easy, is it? There are challenges and surprises that don’t exactly make the road to employment open and smooth.
Well, you’re not alone! There are people out there working hard to make your re-entry more simple and profitable. For example, a Mental Health & Vocational Rehabilitation Professional has contacted me to help him gather information about your experience as he seeks to understand your journey and find ways to be of assistance. He works at SOC Enterprises, a company that has recently launched a Wounded Warrior Employment Program.
Please answer (anonymously if you choose) any/all of the following questions in the comments, or send an email to him directly using the address below. Help us explore ideas and solutions for all of you returning home and beginning a new chapter in your lives.
1. What are the main barriers veterans face when returning to the civilian workplace?

If you are not getting the results you were looking for with the traditional methods. I would highly suggest you try an alternative method like EFT or The Emotion Code.
I am not recommending these techniques because I am a practitioner of them but because they work.
If you would like to learn more about these techniques email me at norvalr@aol.com.
