The VET Roadmap is a new resource for military families interested in making the move to civilian life.
"Tools like the VET Roadmap, which gathers together best-in-class resources and industry knowledge, are critical to not only smoothing the reintegration process for our veterans and military families, but making sure they have everything they need to continue serving this country," said Eric Eversole, vice president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and president of Hiring our Heroes.
The VET Roadmap broadens the scope of assistance in the transition journey and opens up more links to private and nonprofit groups that can help veterans and their families, said Mike Haynie, executive director of the Institute for Veterans and Military Families at Syracuse University, in an interview after the summit.

Interesting and it's a good start. However, I just went in and started doing my resume to see what would happen. Still missed quite a bit in terms of MOS translation. Also, Given the amount of information that hits someone in looking at this, I can see it being a bit daunting. They steps in building a resume are good and that step by step process is great - big kudos on that. I think this tool tied in with a mentor BEFORE you get hired at a company would be very valuable.

I think you hit the nail right on the head. MOS translation if a HUGE part of it.

That's why I prefer the networking method. If a vet can get somebody on the "inside" to advocate for him, bypassing much of the corpocracy with it comes to resumes not being all pretty - that helps alot
