All Concerned:
In approximately 8 weeks CivilianJobs.com will host a Career Expo April 22, 2010 at Fort Bragg, NC. I ask for your support with getting this information out to the men and women who are transitioning from active duty to civilian life, retirees, veterans, and members of the National Guard and Reserve and their spouses so they may take advantage of this free opportunity to meet with local and national employers.
We also encourage your transitioning military and military veterans to pre-register for the career expo at our website civilianjobs.com so they may take advantage of the matching process which enhances their career expo experience. All military or former military may upload their resume and pre-register for the event to have their skills matched against all attending employers. Those employers will be sent a copy of the matched candidate's resume prior to the career expo. Upon signing in at the career expo, pre-registered candidates will be given a list of employers their skills and geographical preference matched with.
NOTE: Non-ID cardholders who are veterans MUST pre-register online for the career expo no later than April 7, 2010 in order to have their name added to the base access rosters to facilitate entrance to the facility and to participate in the matching process.
More than 30 military-friendly organizations will be on hand to speak with and interview job seekers. These organizations include corporate employers, law-enforcement agencies and educational institutions, hiring locally or seeking candidates for nation-wide placement.
We encourage you to visit www.civilianjobs.com to learn more about our career expos and our career expo schedule. The career expos are open to all military ID card holders and their spouses, military retirees and veterans and any base personnel interested in attending.
I have attached a copy of the flyer and driving instructions for you to distribute. Please have your candidates contact Bethany Adams should they have any questions about the career expo or registering on the website. She can be reached at badams@civilianjobs.com or call (678) 819-4170.
Visit www.MilitarytoCivilian.com for a blog devoted to helping transitioning military and prior-military find careers in the civilian world. Topics include resume tips, how to translate your military experience into terms a civilian hiring authority can understand, hot career areas for military-experienced job seekers, career coaching, and more.

With Sylvan's School Success Challenge
New Online Challenge Offers Aberdeen-Area Students, Parents and Educators Chance to Designate $10,000 to a Local School
Aberdeen, NC (Grassroots Newswire) February 16, 2010 – To encourage learning and discovery outside of the classroom as families prepare for the critical second half of the school year, Sylvan Learning of Aberdeen, North America's leading provider of tutoring to students of all ages, grades and skill levels, is offering Sylvan's School Success Challenge for local parents, teens and educators. Beginning February 15, 2010, families and school personnel can participate in this trivia-themed sweepstakes at www.SylvanChallenge.com. The challenge will end on March 31, 2010.
"Sylvan has a long history of providing educational resources that enable students and teachers to achieve academic success. Schools are now facing daunting fiscal challenges and, as a longtime community partner, Sylvan is proud to offer Sylvan’s School Success Challenge, with the Grand Prize winner designating a $10,000 Sylvan donation to a local school in order to fund needed academic programs," said Debbie Benicek of the Sylvan Learning located in Aberdeen. "To succeed in school and life, students need ongoing opportunities to learn and practice essential skills. Now is the perfect time to provide a fun learning activity that helps families prepare for the rigors of the second semester and SAT/ACT testing. We believe this interactive and engaging contest will serve as a motivational tool to help students practice and bolster their skill sets in key subjects like language arts and math, particularly algebra, and also assist with their college prep efforts."
Sylvan's School Success Challenge features an electronic game board filled with six categories – All About Algebra, Grammar Grab Bag, SAT/ACT Challenge, What’s the Meaning?, Math Madness and College Knowledge.
Participants are asked three random questions each day. When the board is cleared, participants receive ten additional sweepstakes entries towards the chance of winning the Grand Prize, a Mac laptop, Kindle®, Nintendo® DS and great gift cards.
Families and educators can earn entries into Sylvan's School Success Challenge by answering the multiple choice questions, with additional entries for correct answers and referring friends. Participants earn an entry just by registering at the Web site and individuals can enter the sweepstakes once a day.
By participating in Sylvan's School Success Challenge, parents, students and educators can turn their school stress into school success by entering to win great prizes, including the Grand Prize of a $5,000 Carnival® Cruise to the Caribbean, a yearlong subscription to SylvanMathPrep.com - an online math resource for families of students in grades seven through twelve that features on-the-spot math guidance during homework time - and a $10,000 donation to the school of his or her choosing. The First Prize winner will be awarded a Mac laptop, TI-83 graphing calculator, iPod®, North Face® backpack, and a yearlong subscription to SylvanMathPrep.com.
Additionally, entrants can win instant prizes, including more than 400 sought-after items from Amazon.com®, Nintendo® and Apple®.
The School Success Challenge questions target the concepts taught in middle and high school classrooms, and help families begin to think about the college preparation process. To register for the challenge, visit www.SylvanChallenge.com.
Put your skills to the test and win incredible prizes. For more information and other educational resources offered by Sylvan, visit www.SylvanLearning.com.
