Hiring America Newsletter 05: Ann Cardona takes over the newsletter!


← All issues

Ann Cardona takes over to bring you something near and dear to her heart.

August 4th, 2017 Click here to read this newsletter in your web browser. Hello Everyone!
Ann Cardona, recently transitioned veteran in residence at Hiring America here. Bill has been super busy, so I am taking over this week's newsletter.
One of the articles this week is near and dear to my heart and features my track teammate Sarah Roberts. Her discussion about the significance of running in the military rings so true for me. I am proud of her for giving candid and honest feedback about her experiences in and out of the military and for being an awesome part of the Team RWB community!
Please check out "Forging Purpose and Community One Mile At a Time". If you run across any other articles like this out there please let me know. Personal stories that are real are the most interesting to me.
Feel free to let me know your thoughts! Hope you enjoy this weeks newsletter!
~ Ann (9 Year Army Veteran/Director of Partnerships and Sarah Robert's former teammate) & The Hiring America Team ๐Ÿ˜Š
