Question ID: 465483
How can I access FREE resumes of military veterans separating from active 
service or out of military service for any length of time. The key is
they're veterans and my access to them is free. Army, Navy, Marines,
Air Force and Coast Guard.

Check out these two sources and let me know if this sufficiently
answers your question:

ORION INTERNATIONAL is a ten-year-old firm. 

?Orion International is our nation?s largest military recruiting firm
owned and operated exclusively by military Veterans. Orion has won
several high profile, industry standard awards including:

They have a frequently replenished diverse database of 30,000 veteran

HELMETS-TO-HARDHATS is a building and construction placement
headquartered in Ohio. The site has a feature that allows registered
users to view candidates online. As far as I can tell, registration is
free.

This should put you in a position to view tens of thousands of veteran
candidates looking for positions. Please let me know if these sources
suffice.

Orion International is a recruiting firm - one of my competitors. They
protect their candidates from prying eyes, as they should.

Helmets-to-hardhats.com is a new one to me so I went and signed up.
You are required to advertise positions there and then candidates
sign-up if they're interested. I think they charge for ads so it's not
free.

There are a lot of sites that have resumes of vets but they cost money
- sometimes big money, to access them, i.e. search through the
resumes. I'm aware of most of these. What I'm looking for is a way to
contact veterans who are getting out of the service or who are already
discharged. The most likely sites for free resumes would be government
sites, government files, etc. Sites that are in the public domain,
etc.

The key again is FREE searching of resume databases of veterans.

Hope this helps.

Ok. Hopefully someone else will know more about this issue than I do
and be able to help you further.

Good luck;

You might want to give these folks at the Dept of Veteran Affairs a call:


http://www.vba.va.gov/bln/vre/for_employers2.htm


Although their services are focused on helping employers find jobs for
disabled vets, I'm sure they will know the ropes regarding what sorts
of information are available and in the public domain.

You might also want to check out the job placement offices at
individual services, as they're likely to be a wealth of information
as well, such as these Air Force folks:


http://www.afpc.randolph.af.mil/famops/trans.htm



Let me know if these work out.

phafalafa,
Thanks. I've been to almost everyone of those. Everytime you get to
the "search resumes" section it takes you to jobsearch.org site. I'm
registered there, sometime early this week, and I still can't view any
contact info because it says I'm still not approved. Maybe that will
still come through.

Thanks anyway!

****You may want to contact your local unemployment office.  Most
state unemployment offices have a "separate" source for vets, because
they offer employment services specialized to them. It may also be
sometimes found at the State department of Jobs and Family Services,
if your unemployment office is not in with your JFS office. I know
that Ohio keeps a database of their vets for this reason, and to help
in continuing ed for them. **** Just a thought
