Until April 13th - Guaranteed introductions for RallyPoint members to the Time Warner Cable hiring team

2015-04-01T09:54:03-04:00

I wanted to let the RallyPoint community know about our latest partnership and mission to bring employers closer to our transitioning members. This week, we launched an initiative with Time Warner Cable & Take the Interview to bring free virtual interviews to all of our members. Beyond the important networking here inside of RallyPoint, I see this as being a great way to send your resume and profile to the top of the list through the use of technology. No job fairs, gas money, or plane tickets needed...just direct access to the veteran hiring team. We are very excited for this launch and to bring this service to more of our veteran hiring partners in the future.

With 100+ RallyPoint veterans, TWC has built an excellent internal network of veteran support here inside the platform and I hope many of us can take advantage of their wide ranging career opportunities. Good luck and please tag any job seekers you may know here.

Cheers,
Brandon

"No job fairs, gas money, or plane tickets needed...just direct access to the veteran hiring team. " - sounds like a pretty great way to run through the civilian interview process.

This looks awesome! TWC appears to be a great company to work at for transitioning service members. Never too early to start practicing your skills with interviews. I would hope that a lot of RallyPoint members will at least check this out and give it a shot. Nothing to lose...so much to gain in experience and also a relationship with a top tier military veteran company. Check it out!

Thanks Capt Brandon Charters and the RallyPoint Staff, we appreciate your willingess to dive into new ideas.

Time Warner Cable is trying to figure out the connection points between the highly qualified Veteran workforce and our myriad of openings across the United States. Available to view on RallyPoints Careers section.

We wanted to be able to address those members who aren't residing in their targeted work locations and give them an avenue to start networking with us. So, someone who is starting their transition and is stationed in a geography that is not their ideal work location can look at our openings and begin to open doors for themselves; as they look ahead to the future and figure out employment prospects.

Further, we don't think a massive job fair is the most effective way to get to know individuals who are service members. Yes, it is the most cost/time effective in terms of the many to many relationships of job seekers and employers, but we wanted another avenue to offer in case veterans feel more at home, in the comfort of their own home. Thus, our partnership with Take the Interview and RallyPoint was started.

We understand that by some estimates there will be up to 1.7 million transitioning members within the next 7 years. It is imperative to TWC to understand what we can do to capture the best veteran talent and leveraging the incredible skill sets that they bring to the workplace.

I'd appreciate any feedback you may have. This will help all of the dedicated employers on RP and let us evolve this idea to meet the needs of our Veteran candidates in the future.

Thanks,
Joe Wong

Question for you. I opened the link and how I read it was only Time Warner Cable is interviewing you or are they just the go between to make the technology happen?

This IS the way of the future. I had a virtual interview with the Navy's mental health team in Okinawa. They were kind enough to show me the view from their window. Very cool.

To bad TWC don't have any positions in the Philadelphia area because I am looking for employment at the moment. However, great opportunity for some veterans and retirees. Thank you for creating this...

So far, this seems to be working! The recruiters like viewing videos and I have responded to each and every submission. Thanks to all of you for your interest, please let us know if you have any feedback.

There is a ton of potential to this and we want to make sure we keep looking at new ways to serve our Veteran candidates. Keep going Capt Brandon Charters !

There are still 3 days to sign up for a guaranteed introduction to the Time Warner Cable veteran hiring team. All you need to do is be a RallyPoint member. It is really, that easy!

All RP members. This is exactly why I enjoy this social media platform. I have recently been offered a position of Director of Human Resources for a commercial real estate company in the Philadelphia area. Thank you to Capt Brandon Waters and Joseph Wong for helping me out. Please feel free to reach out to me if you know of anyone that needs help and I will do what I can if able.

I think this is a good opportunity for the Military Personnel getting ready to transition out into the Civilian World.
