Round Rock, TX, USA — USRW LLC, parent company of USRoadWarriors.com and VeteranDriver.com, announced today it received a Document of Support from the ESGR Program (Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve) signed by Secretary of Defense Ash Carter.

The ESGR Vision is to foster a culture in which all employers support and value the employment and military services of members of the National Guard and Reserve in the United States.

“In it’s (ESGR) forty-year history this is the largest group of companies anytime and anywhere to sign the Document of Support,” said retired Army Col. JP Hogan leader for ESGR in Texas. The Colonel himself sported a Calvary Stetson from the early 1900’s.

USRW Publisher and Co-Founder Carl Braun was on hand to receive the document. “I have two sons that served in Afghanistan and Iraq respectively, one of them is a wounded warrior. I served in the USAF Security Police and my father was a Korean War Vet. My brother, is a retired Marine. We’re a military family and I’m proud to support the ESGR efforts,” he said.

Braun and his company have owned numerous job boards over the last 20 years serving veterans and recently launched VeteranDriver.com, a lifestyle, careers and news site for Military Veterans, Returning Military and their families interested in or are employed by the transportation industry.

Executive Career Solutions (UK) Launched

Leave a comment

Announcing the UK launch of Executive Career Solutions designed to help CEO, Executive and Director-level individuals plan and execute next career moves.

Newbury, United Kingdom — Announcing the UK launch of Executive Career Solutions designed to help CEO, Executive and Director-level individuals plan and execute next career moves. As an executive career management consultancy, offers bespoke solutions covering different scenarios. For convenience, the approach is simple and streamlined. Everything revolves around an extended discussion (usually over the telephone) to understand career motivations, aspirations and current situation. The provides a useful basis for collaborating with executives to break everything down and develop a clear ‘value proposition’. This helps executive customers to stand out from the competition and make an impression with employers, headhunting firms and other people within their networks, so collaboration, building a level of trust and mutual understanding is important for best results.

Significantly, each scenario is placed within the context of an executive resume to provide an important baseline for adding other career management solutions (value-added services). This creates more of an end-to-end solution using a more integrated approach and joined-up thinking towards executive careers. Solutions are tailored to individual requirements with an incremental approach allowing customers to select add-ons as an when required, subject to ordering an initial CV (resume) service. Therefore, it is important for CEO, Executive and Director-level customers to initially choose a CV (resume) option as an important first step towards achieving career success at the very highest level. Add-ons can only be selected (or agreed in advance) once the executive CV (resume) has been ordered (or completed) to deliver optimal benefits (outcomes).

The executive resume remains arguably the single most important element when screening candidates, followed by LinkedIn. It is the need for recruiters, headhunting firms and key contacts to gain initial snippets of information so they can make an informed decision about whether to invite candidates to interview. Therefore, the role of the executive resume must not be under-estimated during initial pre-selection processes. This is why the executive resume helps to provide a crucial baseline to understand the ‘customer scenario’ and a platform to recommend extra solutions as part of an integrated career or job hunting strategy. Nothing should be left in isolation, so Executive Career Solutions offers helps covering many different scenarios. Popular resume services include the CEO CV, Managing Director CV and the Finance Director CV.

USRoadWarriors.Com Launches with Four Niche Recruitment Sites for Professional Drivers

Leave a comment

Lifestyle, careers, news and information sites focus on building a positive image of the transportation industry.

Round Rock, TX, USA — USRW LLC, parent company of USRoadWarriors.com (http://www.usroadwarriors.com), a lifestyle, careers, news and information portal for professional drivers and truckers, has announced the launch of four niche recruitment sites designed to appeal to a broad group of transportation professionals.

DriverJobCenter.com (http://www.driverjobcenter.com) focuses on all individuals that make their living behind the wheel including local delivery drivers, OTR or “Over the Road” truckers, dump truck drivers and even corporate drivers for companies like FEDEX or UPS.

“Most trucker sites unintentionally exclude these drivers. Having just returned from the GATS Great American Trucking show in Dallas, I found that there were many large employers seeking drivers of all kinds represented at the show,” noted Carl Braun, Co-Founder and Publisher of USRoadWarriors.com.

Braun has a 20-year history in the job board industry starting with his first site in 1996 called Hire-Power.com. He has since launched dozens of job boards in niche categories like diversity trucking and veterans. USRoadWarriors.com follows the trend with several sites designed to appeal to growth opportunity segments in the industry.

With only 6% of drivers being female, job board GirlsNTrucks.com (http://www.girlsntrucks.com) appeals to perhaps the largest hiring opportunity for the transportation industry. DiverseDriver.com (http://www.diversedriver.com) seeks out minority drivers and VeteranDriver.com (http://www.veterandriver.com) helps connect companies with returning military and veterans, a very active segment largely due to the patriotic nature of trucking companies and the unique skills many veterans bring to their future employers.

Each of these sites provides visitors with original content and articles written specifically for women, minorities and veterans along with thousands of job opportunities with companies highly motivated to consider them.

There is currently a 73.500 driver shortage in the US and the American Trucking Association projects an 890,000 driver shortage over the next decade.

“Transportation employers are faced with tough decisions today and in the future. The average age of drivers is 52 and the market is overwhelmingly white and male. Over the next several years, many of these drivers will retire leaving a huge gap in the space. Actively recruiting women, minorities and veterans will play an important role in filling the growing needs,” Braun said.

USRoadWarriors.com intends to help build the image of the trucking industry into one where everyone is welcome to join and the career opportunities are appreciated for their stability, pay and mobile lifestyle.
