As
promised, this week I will be sharing information to help those of you who are
need of assistance in various areas of your lives. I found this particular organization on
LinkedIn and after reading about their mission I couldn’t help but reach out to
them. I am urging you, if you are in
need of their services or know of someone who might be that you share their
information. I truly believe that Mark,
and his beautiful wife Tori do what they do because they really care about you and
want to make a difference.
I thought
of what I could say to tell you just what it is they do but who better to tell
the story than those who are living it everyday. Below is a newsletter that Mark recently
published highlighting just who and what HirePatriots is about.
Enjoy and I
pray that it does you some good.
As always,
thank you for your support.
TTYL- Be
blessed.
Hello HirePatriots Friends:
Many people wonder what exactly we do
every day at HirePatriots. They also ask what their donations provide? These
are very important questions for me to answer. Here is my comprehensive reply:
Please send me your comments.
Please give us your feedback on our
new HirePatriots.com web design.
Do you see any changes or improvements that your would like us to make?
Let us know: https://hirepatriots.com /
Assisting US Veterans: This is our primary
job. Every day we are in contact for many hours with US veterans and their
spouses that need counseling, advice, jobs, encouragement; or, who want to
start or build a business (my specialty.)
Creating Veteran Owned Businesses: In order to further
duplicate our efforts to employ US veterans, we created a business-in-a-box for
veteran entrepreneurs 2 years ago. It has had sensational results! It is
called US Military Maintenance. (I have four decades of experience
in building residential and commercial maintenance businesses.) Our USMM owners
who have reached their 18th month mark are earning in excess of
$500,000 a year. But more importantly, they are employing dozens of US
veterans, and paying them a good and livable wage. We have 27 USMM businesses
up and running so far. Our goal is to create 1000 USMM businesses and to
collectively employ 100,000 US veterans. See our locations across America by
going to http://usmilitarymaintenanc e.com/.
One Day Jobs: Our One Day job
board is healthy and well. We have seen an increase in the recent months in job
postings. But we still need many times more job postings. Every day myriads of
active duty military and transitioned veterans come to HirePatriots.com’s One Day Job Board looking
for extra income. Here is a link to PEOPLE Magazine’s feature about this unique
job board: Click HERE. And read
comments made by our job board users HERE.
One way that you can help is to print
and pass-out some of our posters at your church, club, business, etc. Click HERE to see a
selection of HirePatriots posters.
Marketing for Military Friendly
Businesses: If you own a business, we will build a customized
HirePatriots job board for your company so that you can spread the
word and have people come to your website to post and find jobs for veterans.
Over 200 businesses in 37 states have done so thus
far. All of our posters can be customize to promote your business'
support of our program. Plus, we will even build you your own HirePatriots.com
website and job board for your business.
Our Careers Job Board: HirePatriots also
leases the very best job board software available to serve the companies that
post on our job board. Fantastic new updates have just been installed. For
instance, for each full-time job posted, companies receive a minimum of 5
matching resumes from our vast database. Post on the HirePatriots
Careers Job Board HERE.
Blogging: The most popular
part of the HirePatriots.com website are the articles that I post concerning
veteran and national issues. Over 300,000 people a year read those blog posts.
The national media picks a few each year and publishes them, or has us in for a
live interview. These opportunities give us a chance to advocate for US
veterans and their families. It also drives thousands of veterans to contact us
each year and ask for assistance.
Job Fairs: HirePatriots has
been holding job fairs on US military bases for over a dozen years. We are able
to turn these into "Hiring Events" especially for your company too.
Our most recent job fair was held at Camp Pendleton Marine Base in San Diego (This
base has 75,000 personnel, and transitions 900 US Marines every month
back into our civilian world.) Companies received an 8ft. table, table
clothes, chairs, a catered lunch, soft drinks, coffee, and a blog post and
banner on the HirePatriots.com homepage. We paid for the base to advertise our
event: We promoted our job fair on their electronic signage, and posted 300
color posters around the base. – It costs a lot to put on this event. And it
takes hundreds of hours of work to pull together. But so many veterans have
contacted us over the years to tell us how important our events are in getting
them started in life that our military base job fairs are worth every cent we
spend! Our US military are very grateful for HirePatriots bringing
together veteran friendly businesses for them to meet and with which to begin a
career.
Marriage Retreats: Unfortunately, the
military life is tough on marriages and families. There are long deployments
away from home, and frequent moves to other parts of the country. And until you
make Master Sergeant or its equivalent, there is not much money either. Most of
our enlisted families suffer a lot of deprivation. Many receive gov’t
subsidized bread and cheese to keep their families fed. These hardships and
more make it very difficult for young marriages and families to survive.
HirePatriots rents suites at hotels with
romantic views for our 3-day military marriage retreats. These are small peer
groups of less than 12 couples. We get a lot of volunteers to help us with
these and they are always fantastic events that our couples will always
cherish. -- We are able to put on these extremely critical 3-day retreats
with great meals, gifts, counseling and workbooks only with donations received
from you.
Extra Stuff: To make more
veterans and companies aware of our outstanding recruiting and marketing
services, we employ and work with an SEO company on a full-time basis. We must
employ a full-time webmaster too. We have many websites all-across the nation
that are serving local communities. Stephen Geronimo, our webmaster, has spent
many months rebuilding HirePatriots.com and its 2500 pages. He has transferred
everything over to a template on WordPress that is more compatible with mobile
phones. To secure and to keep so many websites running we also lease our own
Cloud server.
How Does HirePatriots
Keep Going?
Last year, by helping companies to
hire the right veterans for their needs; and by writing blogs; and by marketing
and social networking for businesses, Patriotic Hearts was able to raise
$80,000 for Patriotic Hearts, (our 501c3 NPO). Another $10,000 was received through
donations made by citizens like you. Our budget for 2017 is $100,000. Please
continue to help us provide our vital services to our deserving US military,
veterans, and their families.
