Blogger Notified

Well, things are definitely interesting in the Blogging World. Some people are having their blogs messed up. How? I have no idea. (Template issues and items falling to the far right hand side of their margins). Even while I type, the letters look very large to me, yet when I save everything looks tiny. Interesting.

Blogger has been notified and things will be brought back to normal soon. Thanks for your patience.

Military Transition - Job Search

There's one job source that is continually overlooked while seeking employment after the military. Lets face it, our minds are geared toward the traditional ways of going about things. For the next week, we'll be commenting on various places to seek employment. I'm sure this will be seen as valuable for many of you.

Add the Craig's List to your arsenal of web sites to seek employment. The Craig's List can be found at:

http://www.craigslist.org/


The Craig's List has jobs and information for the United States, Europe, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Americas, Asia, and Canada. (This will also help our international job seekers who visit our Blog. Once again, thanks international readers for supporting our efforts). Many U.S. military may decide to live in the country where they reside, relocate to another state, or want to see what's available locally. Either way, the Craig's List is a valuable resource.

This is a resourceful place to seek employment and to find out what companies are looking for in an employee. You can actually select the city, state, and the type of employment you seek. Employers normally will request for you to email a resume for review. Make sure you have a current resume on file.

In some cases, you may want to come up with at least three different types of resumes for yourself. This is the one thing that wasn't mentioned to me as I was leaving the military. This is ideal if you've held different types of jobs in the military. Another idea would be to have different versions of a cover letter. It may not be ideal to use the same cover letter for different types of jobs, so be sure to tailor your cover letter to the position.

See that your resume has quantitive values. Example: 'supervised crew members' (How many?) 'saved Army dollars and manhours with tactical combat strategies' (Saved how much money and how many manhours? What were all the benefits to the process?). Take each item on your resume and chunk down to the most detail description that you can possibly find.

Just a Few Chunking Down Tips:

How much?
What was the result?
How many?
What was impacted?
What was the percentage decrease or increase?
How many dollars or man hours saved?
How did the operation benefit?

This information is also good meat and potatoes for your cover letter.

These are a few tips for your job search. These were great tips that were brought up to me by a fellow coach.

Take care and be safe.

Discontinued Comments on Blog

Comment Spamming

Due to several spamming comments, Veterans In Motion has elected to discontinue visitors from being able to place comments in the comments' area.

There seems to be a large campaign of comment spammers across the internet (could be a company or organization). It's very ironic that it all has happened in the last several weeks. Few of the RSS Directories and other Internet Companies have had to shut down their operations due to spamming.

I've had to shut down the comments on the other blog at www.cocktaildressandheels.blogspot.com and actually publicized who spammed me on the blog.


To The Marine Who Recently Left The Military Looking For Speaking Engagements

***We had to get a new hard drive in the last couple of weeks and lost information. There was a Marine that had written me on speaking engagements. If you should see this post, please write us back at vetsinmotion@aol.com. We're still going through our email to see if we still have it on file. We have some ideas for you.

Posting Has Resumed

Greetings,

We're back! Veterans In Motion has been working on a few initiatives for the last week and has had success.

Veteran Centers:

The local Veteran Centers can be a great asset while leaving the military. Be sure to do a search in Google and find the nearest Vet Center. They can assist with finding local agencies to assist you while you're doing your job search. They can also assist with your counseling needs. Contact the nearest Vet Center and see what you qualify for as a soon to be veteran.

Veteran Representatives:

At most unemployment offices there's a Veteran's Representative to assist you. They can let you know what companies are hiring veterans in your area. They can also assist you with finding out if you're qualified for the Rehabilitation Programs for training and employment. Be sure to stop by your local unemployment office prior to leaving the military.

Military Transition Newsletter will resume next week for transition tips for leaving the military.

Comment Spamming - Ruthless Free Advertising

This is addressed to the most recent solicitors in the comments' area on this blog:

If you'd like to advertise on this blog, I'll be more than willing to draft up a proposal and we can come to terms on an agreement (professionally). Repeat, if you'd like to advertise on this blog, we can come up with a professional agreement. The thing that bothers me is when I clicked on most of your names by your post, you had a factitious url for a blog or profile. In otherwords, most of you aren't part of the Blogger Community or no one can access your profile (with the exception of a few).

This blog is not for free advertisement unless coordinated through me (Johnetta Matthews). I don't know if someone has recently came out with an e-book with some sort of free advertising tactics, however, if anyone goes to your website and have anything maliciously downloaded on their computer (especially if there is no way to contact you), I'm sure they will hold you liable and find you. If I was visiting this blog and I knew someone was spamming someone's comment areas with advertising, I would think that the advertiser was ruthless and unethical. (If offering a service to assist active duty military or veterans transition, there may be an exception). Our comments area is reserved for our men and women in uniform, veterans, and the people who care about them.

Visitors and Comrades: If you click on any of the adware/spyware products or web sites listed in the comments area you may be at risk. This is why I posted Steve Freedman's book on a previous post. Many spyware/adware products and web sites place undesirable things on your computer. Click at own risk on the solicitors' web sites in the commments area.

Be safe.

Military Bloggers Warned

Military Bloggers have been warned on taking photos and posting stories in combat areas. Many may not be aware that many of our comrades in combat areas blog on their experiences while in combat. The blogs are in a since diaries and also a way for our men and women in war to share with the outside world what's really going on at the frontline. Now the concern is operational security.

The sacrifices of our men and women are noted with their online blogging and the news coverage they receive. Their blogging stories are real and their daily duties would challenge the bravest of souls to the bone.

The most recent story on military blogging can be seen at:

Tuesday's Tips Newsletter - Wake Up and Create Something

This is the new post from the Military Transition Newsletter Blog:


This week Veterans In Motion would like to share an article from a very well known coach and mentor. For the last several years, I've been a member of Bob Doyle's membership site and I've learned a great deal regarding the Law of Attraction. His material is straight to the point and when practiced, positive results can be achieved. Below is a newsletter from Bob Doyle. Enjoy.



This Week's Tuesday's Tips Newsletter 2008A:
(Courtesy of Bob Doyle: http://www.boundlessliving.com
==============================================

WAKE UP and Create Something - by Bob Doyle

==============================================

It's time for the "mainstream" to WAKE UP. The alarm clock
is ringing, they keep hitting snooze, and in the meantime,
the life they could be living is passing them by.

Day after day, millions of people go through their lives
wishing and hoping and dreaming that things could be better,
with absolutely no knowledge that it is they themselves that
perpetuate their own dissatisfaction.

It is not the "gifted few" who create their realities. It's
not just for those in the metaphysical community. It is all
of us. Every single one. However, there are a few who have
awakened to this knowledge, and make creating their reality
a daily event...manifesting whatever it is they want in
their life with seemingly no effort!

Meanwhile the rest of the world looks on in wonder and
disbelief. They assume that these "fortunate few" are among
the cosmically lucky.

To be honest, the whole thing generates some anger in me.
The problem is that we are "dumbed down" by society
throughout our whole lives under the pretense that we are
actually being intellectualized. The "scholarly" tell us
that metaphysical topics like reality creation are pure
fantasy. Science insists on measurable evidence of
everything before it will acknowledge such claims as fact.

However, it's really not that difficult to comprehend. Even
the most skeptical people should be able to grasp a few
simple concepts like:

- Everything in the Universe is composed of Energy,
including you and me. Even our thoughts are Energy.

- Through Energy, everything in the Universe is
connected.

- The Universe creates without effort, and in
abundance. Just look around you. Trees, rocks, air,
planets, etc. all were created without stress,
effort, or over-analyzation. The Force you choose to
believe initiated the creative process doesn't
matter. They are all there and were created
effortlessly.

- You ARE a part of the Universe and through the
power of thought, have the same creative power that
manifests everything you see. The only thing that
limits your potential is your own belief system!

Everything that occurs in your life is interpreted BY YOU.
You add the meaning, you add the emotional response, you add
EVERYTHING. It is your thoughts that literally take the
energy "data" and transpose it into your reality. What you
consider "real" is nothing more than an agreement that
you've made with yourself (and no doubt many others in some
cases).

This is how our reality has been shaped. This is how we have
learned what is possible, and what is impossible. We learned
it from OTHER PEOPLE. The problem is, these other people
(family and friends perhaps?) have their OWN limiting belief
systems which they ALSO consider "real".

So human limitations spread like a virus, and we don't even
realize what's happening.

As discouraging as this is, many of us ARE waking up. I
personally feel it my sacred duty to shake people out of
this "intellectual trance" that limits them and show them
what is truly possible.

So what IS the difference between those who cruise through
life in a seemingly perpetual state of bliss, with
everything they want coming to them with no effort, and the
rest of the population working at jobs they hate for the
sake of doing the "responsible" thing, hoping that SOME DAY
they can live the lives they hope for?

The difference is that these people know their purpose, know
WHY they absolutely HAVE to fulfill that purpose, and commit
themselves to never stopping until they realize their dream.
They may or may not have thrown the accepted definition of
"responsibility" out the window. The only thing that matters
ultimately is that they now live lives they love, following
their passions.

You see it is our PASSIONS in life that tell us precisely
what we are to do. When we follow our passions, our life
lights up. We give off incredibly powerful energy which
attracts our desires to us. That means people, money,
objects, careers...whatever we want that is in line with our
purpose. The Universe WANTS to provide those things we want
most. It is only our own limiting belief systems that stop
fulfillment from occurring.

Malware and Spyware Comments

It was brought to my attention that someone has posted a web site advertising Malware type software in my comments block. If you want sound computer advice, I highly recommend for everyone to see the below web site prior to purchasing online software.

There are a few reputable companies, however, there are a few companies lacing software with the same things you're trying to eliminate. (Be careful if ShowBar or WebSearch is on your computer). I've had my share of malware and browser hijacker objects. Just to think last year I didn't know any of this lingo. It just takes one time of getting burned online.

All I can say is save your computer from malicious acts online. The below web site is one of the best Webmasters you can find online. Steve Freedman's book will show you free and inexpensive ways to protect your computer. My computer lost everything in March 2005 and I regret that I didn't have the information that's in Steve's book. Take a look:
