VOC Helps Veteran Without Internet Access Land Job Interviews

When military veteran Sherman found himself without a job during a global pandemic—a time when it seemed more likely you would lose a job rather than find one—he turned to Veterans Outreach Center. Our employment team immediately took action, searching for local businesses still hiring as others were closing their doors due to a state-wide mandate to close up non-essential businesses and stay home. Sherman found himself with another disadvantage—he lacked proper internet access to send his resume or even apply for the job.

Our employment team knew that lack of internet access was no reason for someone who needed a job—a veteran who made sacrifices for his country—to miss out on this opportunity, so our team sent his resume for him. Shortly after, Sherman had an interview lined up for the next day, which he performed very well on and is now on his way to a second interview.

It’s not unlikely for the veterans who turn to Veterans Outreach Center to have stories like this. Our teams are committed and dedicated to veterans and ensuring they have every advantage to be successful and get back on their feet after serving their country.
