Thank You For All The Positive Feedback:

We're back with our second newsletter this week, and feeling humbled by all the positive feedback on our new project.
Right out of the gate, more than half of subscribers opened to read last week's newsletter (way above industry averages), and with many people clicking thru to read the different stories in the collection (also 4x the industry averages for click-thru-rates).
So with your permission and support, we are going to continue to gather the best news and content valuable in the world of employment for our transitioning military families.
And of course, if you have a question or would like to recommend a story that you know our community would appreciate, please let us know (and we will give you full credit for the find)!
