Without a doubt, there are truly some great resources available to active and Reserve component personnel and veterans. Of course, if folks don't know that they're out there, members and their families couldn't possibly benefit from some of these amazing offers and services. So, the idea here is to share those helpful tidbits of information, tips, links, lessons learned, processes, resources, wisdom and/or POCs to help members find the resources they need for their troops, their families, and to help themselves. Just a couple of quick admin notes, please make sure to share the source if known, and remember to post in accordance with RallyPoint guidelines. Well, I'm certain that will be a great way to get timely information, resources, and assistance to those who need it most, when they need it the most... so, if you have something useful, helpful, or good-to-know, please feel free to share. Alright folks, it's that time, so pull-up a keyboard and let's get this thing started; thank you for all that you do, and... see you all in the discussion threads!

As a technology staffing firm, we can't think of a more fitting mantra. We're extreme believers in technology and the incredible things it can do. But we know that behind every smart piece of software, every powerful processor, and every brilliant line of code is an even more brilliant person.
The intersection of technology and people — it's where we live. Backed by more than 60 years of experience, Robert Half Technology is the staffing expert to call whether you're looking to hire experienced technology talent or find the best technology jobs.
Unlike other staffing firms, we emphasize personal interaction. We individually interview all of the candidates we place and meet with our clients to better understand their needs. Because even with all of today's advances in technology, we know nothing can replace that personal touch.

Military Veterans struggle to quantify their unique experience into a powerful value proposition to civilian employers...we know because we have been there-done that. But, Veterans have a unique skill-set that directly translates to project management, regardless of their particular military occupational specialty or rank. They have been accomplishing critically important missions with limited resources on tight schedules while fending off tremendous risks in austere environments by managing the expectations of a myriad of diverse stakeholders every day of their military lives. The problem is that most Veterans don't realize that this equals project management experience or know how to capitalize on it to build a solid bridge to a lucrative post-service career as a Project Manager.
