Google Made New Search Tools To Help Veterans Find Better Jobs (cnbc.com)

Google has rolled out a series of search tools to help military veterans find better jobs after returning to civilian life, the company said in a blog post. From a report: Former members of the military can now search "jobs for veterans," enter the military branch they served in and see results for job openings that match their skills. Google will also allow businesses to identify as "veteran-owned" or "veteran-led" in Google Maps and mobile search results. "We hope to use our technology to help veterans understand the full range of opportunities open to them across many different fields. Right now those opportunities are getting lost in translation," Matthew Hudson, a program manager for Google Cloud and an Air Force veteran, said in Monday's blog post.

    It's about time. I fought in the 103rd Deskborne Division ("The Fighting Snowflakes) in the War on Christmas. Don't laugh, I was wounded twice and I'm still not quite the same. I am allowed a service gerbil, but it's still hard for me to find work. But I'm one of the lucky ones. I still have nightmares where I think I'm back at the Battle of the Macy's Parade. Lost lots of good people and at least two very large balloons that day.

    Thanks to Google for looking out for us.
