Best Job Opportunities for Veterans?
We came across this article on ERE.net and thought it was worth a read. What are the best job opportunities for veterans? Read on....
As America honors its military veterans, there’s news about the difficulties some vets have finding a job. A CareerBuilder (profile; site) survey says 1-in-6 vets report spending six months job hunting after leaving the service. About 1-in-10 say it took them a year to land a job.Of the 750 vets surveyed for the report, about 20 percent said the biggest challenge to getting hired is the difficulty employers have in understanding just how transferable military skills are. Some of the vets also said they were at a disadvantage because they lacked a college degree, good interviewing skills, or there was just a lack of appropriate jobs in their area.

Campus newspapers continue to reach the youth market!
With campus recruiting season in full swing, there are so many ways to reach students. Through word of mouth, campus events, posters, flyers and also through….campus newspapers.
According to the leading youth marketing company, Alloy Media + Marketing’s 2008 College Explorer Study, “92 % of college students with a daily newspaper have read it in the past 30 days”. These are extremely strong numbers.According to a recent article by Tim Johnson, from the Burlington Free Press, “Declining readership of newsprint editions, which afflicts metro dailies around the country, does not seem to be a problem at local campuses. College students — the heart of the young demographic that regular newspapers worry about losing — seem to be avid readers of their campus papers. Never mind online editions, which are popular among parents and alumni. The students themselves are still reading the good old hard copies.”

It’s important to keep campus newspapers top of mind when putting together your campus recruitment advertising strategy for fall and spring semester. Contact NAS to learn more about key campus newspapers you should be targeting in your market.
