If you are a veteran looking for a job or going back to school Next Steps for Vets can help.  Next Steps for Vets is a web portal hosted by NBC News and offers tools & resources to help veterans, transitioning service members and military spouses find jobs and education opportunities. Users will find a resume-engine tool that translates military expertise into marketable language that will catch the attention of human resources executives. There is a  G.I. bill calculator to help veterans evaluate all the benefits for which they are eligible and a job-finder feature that lists professions from the National Resource Directory’s Veteran’s Job Bank. There is also a job fairs map which displays the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s upcoming “Hiring Our Heroes” events, a 12 step guide to starting a small business and an eMentor Leadership Program which will link military spouses to employment counselors.
