Friends,
We are holding our Marine for Life event in Seattle, our "normal" place (Pyramid Alehouse by the staduims), at 6:30 PM on September 16th. We're expecting a great turnout, but can always use a hand letting people know about the event, so we could definitely use help in getting the word out to veteran job-seekers, recruiters, and veterans who can help our fellow veterans/partners in their transition out of the military, or as they work for new opportunities.
We've had dozens of people walk out with interviews or leads to interviews from these events.
We will also have people on hand to help with resumes, walk through interview processes, and even help explain what different roles actually mean in a civilian job (e.g. “What’s a program vs product vs product manager, anyway…”)
As always, this is free of charge, thanks this month to Chris Dantzscher. Chris is a Marine and a great supporter. He has in depth knowledge about the Seattle real estate market, and supports buyers and sellers including market education (especially important in this market).
We’ll have light refreshments, and you might even be able to find a place to grab an adult beverage and talk about transition, or just the world outside the military.
I get this question a lot: Is Marine for Life just for Marines? The answer is simple: No. We are open to ALL services, veteran friendly organizations, and veteran spouses/partners.
The event starts at 6:30, and we will kick off intros at 6:55PM. Job seekers, be ready to give us 30 seconds on what you think you may be interested in (and your timeline). Recruiters/veteran facing organizations, be ready to summarize what you are looking for or how you can help in about 45 seconds. No need to handouts/tables/etc. We like to keep this conversational and low key.
Hope to see you there!
