The Hire MI Vet Mentorship Program provides individualized career readiness support for Veterans, focusing on resumes, cover letters, networking, interviewing, elevator speech, and job search assistance. This volunteer position will consist of creating/updating resumes for Veterans in SE Michigan and NW Ohio. The work will be done virtually. Military skills and experience need to be translated into a civilian resume. It would be helpful to have a familiarity with USAJOBS.gov but not necessary.
Expectations for Mentors
- Provide services under the perspective of unconditional positive regard
- Participate in monthly calls
- Be committed to the Hire MI Vet mission to assist Veterans in gaining meaningful employment
- Are not expected to be experts, but do have direct experience with Veterans and/or job preparation to the point to which they can confidently provide accurate service
Due to Covid-19, the work will be conducted with the Veteran virtually. The volunteer will act as a mentor by following up with the Veteran's progress.
