Hotels Defying Do Not Disturb Signs

Caesars Entertainment, one of the world’s largest casino companies, is ruffling customers’ feathers with newly minted security procedures in the wake of the October 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas.

Google Search now helps veterans to find jobs

The current extremely low rate of unemployment for US veterans is disguising some unpleasant truths.

 

Part of the problem, according to veterans, it that it’s often not that obvious where they should send their resumes. Emblematic of the disconnect they feel between their old and new life is the very language the military uses to describe jobs. Veterans arrive in their new civilian lives with a code to describe what they did in uniform. For instance, the army and marines use a Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) code. These strings of letters and numbers tell other insiders exactly what they did every day, but what does “MOS 0369” mean to a bank recruiter or tech startup? 

For military service personnel, transitioning to civilian life can be very difficult. Many people begin their job searches on Google, so Google started with Search to help those who have served and their families.
