Sign up for next week's Battle Buddies Meeting
What: Eagle Group "Battle Buddies Career Track"
When: 5:00-6:15 PM
Where: Davanni's Pizza and Hot Hoagies (PRIVATE ROOM), 6345 Penn Ave S, Richfield, MN, USA  55423 
Who: Those vets looking for one-on-one assistance for job search questions, networking or moral support and those who wish to mentor/coach in these areas. 
How:  Register HERE or at the facebook page.  When you register, please note topic of interest (an area where you especially need some help).  We will meet when we have a "critical mass" of at least 3 or 4, so PLEASE register in advance.  

We will meet weekly, for a more intimate "break out" session from our larger, monthly Eagle Group meetings. We will continue these meetings if there is enough interest.  The purpose is to provide volunteer "battle buddy" (peer) support to transitioning veterans.  Depending on vounteer resources, "batttle buddy" assistance can help you work on your most pressing needs.  These may include, for example, assistance with resume writing, elevator pitches, networking/contacts, and/or moral support if someone is really down - you name it. This is not a mandatory meeting, but an opportunity for those who wish to contribute and work one-on-one in support of a transitioning veteran.

Please join us at the October 2018 Eagle Group of Minnesota Veterans Monthly meeting as we are joined by one of our very own, fellow veteran Pete Lavelle from Rez-Builder! After our great discussion last month with our Fall Recruiting Panel, it made sense to follow up this month with a résumé specific meeting to address the main source of questions during the panel – résumés.

Peter is an amazing resource that understands how to help bring veteran value to the forefront so that you significantly improve your chance of getting considered for a role you desire. Peter will be educating the group on the right ways to develop your résumé in addition to addressing many of the “big-ticket” résumé questions that came up last month.

Please join us to learn from Peter and enjoy the camaraderie between veterans and veteran supporters!
