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.

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.

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.
