Thoughts For VA and The Nation

Good morning everyone, It has been a somber week for me as my home state of Virginia was in the spotlight for an event I thought I would never see occur. I hope everyone keeps the Commonwealth in their thoughts and that healing will begin to occur, not only in VA, but across the nation.
I hope this newsletter can be a respite from all of the chaos. Get some good advice on how to have a good interview and, if you're a Marvel fan, test your knowledge on the 8 Marvel characters that served in the US Army. AND the Marketplace is open for business! You can check out our goods that give back at www.hiringamerica.net/marketplace and as always let us know if you have a veteran or military spouse owned vendor we should add! Thanks for tuning in and I look forward to chatting with everyone again soon.
