Equally compelling is Job Won! For America’s Veterans’ self-help guidance for staying mentally fit while faced with new-uncertainties faced by many veterans today.
“With unemployment for America’s Veterans once again soaring I could not stand by and have any limitations to access to the one tool I know will make the biggest difference in Veteran’s transition, whether it be into the private sector, or into a new job,” said Blair. “Finding a new job, they can be passionate about or replace the job they have lost in the pandemic. When zero8hundred approached me about the need I knew I wanted to help.”
“San Diego leads our nation in military bases, veteran services and family support…but now is the time to go the extra mile and help them help themselves find rewarding jobs in the private sector,’ said Stephanie Kiesel, Chief Executive Officer zero8hundred.”
James F. Butz, president of San Diego-based Resonnect, commented “If helping people find jobs was an Olympic event, Phil would be a gold-medal winner. He’s one of those inspiring leaders who looks for ways to give back to the people he serves.”
“It is important to continue to support all service members in spiraling upward mobility versus the adverse effect. Reading this book and working with veterans provides us with a “go-to” resource tool for husbands, wives, sons and daughters re-joining their home community, for supporting themselves and ensuring positive futures,” Dr. Jason Galea, Ph.D.
