Topic: Veteran's Resumes: gy . I have searched for and reached out to countless agencies/groups that supposedly help local (Los Angeles) veterans re-enter the workforce, and have not to receive a single reply. We prefer to go local, so we can meet people, but we are also fine with other agencies that are nationally focused. If anyone knows of such an organization where we can donate our time, I would appreciate the information. http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-october-24-2012/exclusive---economic-reintegration-for-veterans?xrs=share_copy Thanks!…; Added by Janine Davis at 11:58am on January 10, 2013

Comment on: Blog Post 'So this is social...': am sending a toy to my friend Frank Zupan. Mr. Zupan has assured me he will send the toy to your boss. I trust your boss will donate the toy rather than use it as a prize for your next promotion. Charity to draw attention has always seemed cheap and tawdry so I hope not to see any blogs by you patting yourself on the back or mentioning the number of goofy "likes" you were able generate. Such bad taste, such very bad taste. Additionally I have asked all my LinkedIn connections to "like" mr zupan's post regarding using a charitable brand to self promote your services as well as block further communication from your company. Merry Christmas…; Added by Sandra McCartt at 5:55pm on December 11, 2011

Topic: Fellow Recruiters: Please Help "Hire A Hero" Succeed With The "ONE MILLION THANK YOU'S CHALLENGE!": me as I've seen many returning disabled vets (some severely) benefit from Hire A Hero efforts. As a former Marine, this really means so much to me. And believe it or not, it's completely free so please take advantage of it! Anyway, here's the email I received this morning regarding the "ONE MILLION THANK YOU'S CHALLENGE!": "Dear Joshua, I am asking your help in getting Hire A Hero's first ever fundraising campaign off the ground. Hire A Hero is challenging the nation to post ONE MILLION messages of thanks to our service members between Memorial Day and Independence Day. We are asking people to donate (we are a non-profit) before they post a message but it is not required. We are not asking for donations from you, our members, because you have already given so much in service of our country. As the Executive Director of Hire A Hero I am asking you to log in to the site and post a "thank you" message to those who have served our country, on the One Million Thank You's message board. (you can access the message board under "Community Blogs" or on the left hand side of the screen). Most of you have served your country so it may seem a little odd to thank yourself. If it helps imagine the words of gratitude you might say to your buddy who had your back when times got rough. I am asking this of you in order to get this campaign jump started. We need a critical mass of messages before the public is likely to take notice. Additionally, I am asking that you forward this message on to your friends and family. Please give them the opportunity to thank you. We would love a small donation (a few dollars), but what is most important to us is that you encourage them to post a message of gratitude on the message board. Posting is free! Below is the message we are sending out to non-members who we know care about our service members. "Are you looking for a way to make a difference in the lives of our service members? Hire A Hero is challenging the nation to post ONE MILLION messages of thanks to our service members between Memorial Day and Independence Day. We know how important it is for our service members and veterans to understand that our nation appreciates their sacrifices. Now there is a message board where you can express your gratitude to those who sacrifice and serve to protect your freedom. Imagine the message we will be sending the troops: One million people express their thanks in a little over 30 days. Service members can browse and search the messages to see for themselves how much their sacrifices are appreciated. This challenge is part of a fundraising campaign to raise money for Hire A Hero and its Wounded Warriors to Work program. (However, no donation is required to post a Thank You message). Post and/or donate now! It takes less than 10 minutes of your time. Click here to see the message board, post a message and/or donate! Let's overwhelm our service members with gratitude. Since we are a non-profit with limited resources, we are counting on your help to get the word out to as many people as possible as quickly as possible. Please forward this message to anyone you know who might be interested in making a difference in the lives of our service members. Please forward responsibly." Thank you for your help in getting the word out and getting this project started! Respectfully, Brac Selph Executive Director Hire A Hero www.hireahero.org "…; Added by Joshua Letourneau at 9:51am on May 30, 2008

Comment on: Topic 'Is it time to panic?': on a diet. "Sorry, folks, I'm on a budget. My accountant says I'm not allowed to spend (loan, donate, invest, foolishly discard) any money for two years." Have you all been to Macy's lately? Man, they're giving two for ones away all the time! I just saw an ad for the clothier Banks - buy one suit and get two free. Three for the price of one! Maybe after a couple years the Saudis will give us a barrel of oil for every one we buy. Or China. China might even give us 10 for 1 of whatever for the food stuffs we finally start sending over...Mexico? I doubt if Mexico could survive the two years... ...and the world will keep turning. Don't be afraid to speak out. Speat out and up and do it often. "No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels.

Comment on: Blog Post 'Is The Ladders Giving Recruiting A Bad Name?': market. According to all reports no one was able to get any answers to questions or comments about the scam reports. Just ON MESSAGE spin. Or "sure we know there is some bad press out there that's why you are here" read: for us to impress you with our think tank, blah, blah. then we can tell the world we collaborated with you so we must be just whoopee good. I could puke, i could just puke. If they were not spinmeisters we would not be having these discussions. Douzet has even stated that the response to the commercial was running 3-1 positive. Anybody heard anything positive other than that goofy statement "i hate it but, all buzz is good buzz"? check out the you tube comments. Many of them are as nasty as the commercial. If one jobseeker/recruiter/company reads your article and the comments and decides not to donate to the money machine then you and i and everybody else who speaks out has done one good thing today. It won't stop them or change them but we may have saved somebody 30.00 bucks today.…; Added by Sandra McCartt at 6:19pm on February 24, 2011
