Military Veteran Hiring Situation -- My Testimony
A military veteran entering into civilian life can face tough challenges, especially when it comes to finding a suitable, well-paying job in today's American economy. But I have been blessed to find a good job, and I am extremely grateful to ITA International for the opportunity they have provided for me.
After serving my country for ten years in the United States Army, it was very important for me to find a civilian job in Virginia. Not just any job, but a job that would allow me to use my career training as a project manager.
Indeed, it was my good fortune to come into contact with ITA International in February 2016, an equal opportunity company in Virginia that reaches out to military veterans. Through online sources (Linked-In), I located the ITA International recruiter, and supplied my resume.
The ITA International recruiter contacted me shortly, and she arranged for an interview with the manager who does the hiring for ITA International. The interview went very well, and I believe that because I had earlier in my career earned a master's degree in project management,...
These have been wonderful, satisfying moments in my post-Army career, for several reasons.
For one, even though I served in the Army as a senior human resource specialist, I had long hoped to be placed in a position that allowed me to use the skills I have developed in the field of project management.
For another reason, project management is a male-dominated field, and as a woman, even though I can provide the aptitude and skills that are up there with the best, I had to prove my worth. I believe I have done that in a thorough and professional way on the job here at the Norfolk Naval Base.
During those ten years in the Army, I saw a lot of places and a lot of people on this big planet, and over and over again I came to the realization that we are blessed to be citizens of the United States.
I served the Army in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, Fort Campbell in Tennessee, Fort Stewart in Georgia, and in Bosnia and Korea. But now that I am back in the U.S.,…
Introduction A project that I plan on doing in the future is one that focuses on transitioning our marketing to social media. The company wants to promote its brand and become more familiar to consumers because right now it is not gaining much traction in traditional marketing approaches. The company has thus decided to try to focus more on social media as a marketing approach. The project will be to develop
Integrated Project Management The project articles are about the processes of making good and verifiable decisions. Though writers like Goatham (2009) often focus on the uniqueness of IT circumstances, the reality is that most sophisticated management practices have common elements. These can be seen in both the building of an army and a society or in the rolling of steel. PROJECT SUCCESS FACTORS In the Afghan army and nation-building project (Ruhm, 2006), a
Project Management Key Success Factors (KSFs) of most organizations have similar attributes, references, and disciplines. This is because each project has internal and external expectations. In most cases, internal expectations happen to be project developers while the external expectation happens to be clients and/or the audience community. The positive striking balance is categorical in elaborating the nature and quality expected in developing each project. This comparison will be substantial in

The NMCI (Navy-Marine Corps Intranet) project was meant to link all the Navy's disparate networks, into a single network operated by one contractor. The project was not well estimated in terms of time and money required to fund the whole project. According to Verton (2002) the contractor EDS (Electronic
In the book, Project management: strategic design and implementation, David I. Cleland and Lewis R. Ireland report "a review of the results of projects in antiquity reveals evidence about how several historical projects originated and developed" (p. 4). 1. The first of this type of evidence, known as artifacts, typically came from human workmanship. These could have been structures, tools, weapons, or items of substance of archeological or historical interest.

(Wilkinson 116) the second area of administrative concern was the processing of government revenue and "…its redistribution to the various state operations…" (Wilkinson 116) Wilkinson in his book also deals extensively with managements issues in relation to the Egyptian treasury.
