You can also tailor your search-- your search results can be filtered by salary level, job type (full time, part time, contract, etc.), and whether the job is from an employer or recruiter.
We built the Job Search section with the same interface as our Directory, so it should look familiar to our current users. Try it out and let us know what you think!

A career fair from the comfort of home
Career fairs are a good way to connect with representatives from companies who are hiring, or at the very least to get an idea of what kinds of jobs are out there. A service called Milicruit will allow you to learn and network right from your living room.
Milicruit is a 'virtual career fair,' bringing together the resources offered by a traditional career fair and bringing them all online. Using Milicruit, job seekers can:
- participate in group chats in a 'networking lounge'
- have one-on-one chats with employers
- visit virtual 'booths' for up t 75 employers
- and download content from employers into a 'virtual briefcase'
Starting April 29, Milicruit and Hire Heroes USA will hold a virtual career fair, which will host employers like Verizon, Amazon.com, Target, CDW, and GE. To register, click here.
This seems like a unique idea that has the potential to improve the ability of employers and job seekers to connect. Obviously employers want to find good candidates and job seekers want to find good employers, so in many ways they're both looking for the same thing--each other. But, the sheer volume of both employers and candidates in the job market makes connecting the right people difficult--something that technology can help. What do you think--can virtual career fairs work to successfully connect the veteran community with employers?
Come work for the Warrior Gateway!

Business to Our Troops: We’ve Got Your Back
It's refreshing to hear about employers who fully realize their responsibility to support the military community. Con-way Freight has penned an article expressing their appreciation of the sacrifices made by the military community and a commitment to support our nation's service members, particularly from the National Guard and Reserves.
Our citizen-soldiers should not come home from serving our country only to face yet another battle to get their job back. They deserve our respect and admiration, and our unqualified support. Nothing less is acceptable.
My company, Con-way Freight, recognizes this not only as a responsibility, but a duty. At any one time we may have as many as 100 employees on active deployment. While on leave for deployment, the families of these service men and women continue to receive company medical benefits. In the case where the deployed-employee’s military pay is less than their Con-way pay, the company makes up the difference. Upon return, these employees have access to resources and counseling under the company’s health plan to help them deal with the stresses of their deployment and reintegrate into society. And finally, the job they had when they went on deployment is there for them when they come home.

A great idea: Operation Welcome Home
Today in the state of California, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is launching a new initiative for veterans, appropriately named Operation Welcome Home. The program consists of the hiring of 325 combat veterans, whose job will then be to advise returning veterans on the resources available to help them find employment.
Additionally, California is seeking to coordinate 1000 volunteers to form the new CalVet Corps. These volunteers will take on a similar role - working with veterans and connecting them with resources available to them - but they will work in a number of issue areas, including housing, healthcare, and employment.
“California has more returning veterans than any other state. So our state, as well as the federal government, has a special responsibility,” Schwarzenegger said in draft remarks quoted in the briefing document. “We have a fundamental obligation to anyone who has shed or risked blood for this country.”
[...]
“Veterans have cutting-edge training and exceptional leadership skills,” the briefing document said. The new program, it said, will “help transfer military training to California’s labor force.”
