A lot to catch up on since taking the helm at Sears Holdings. First, I love my job! I am simply the luckiest staffing manager out there....running military and diversity, plus a sprinkle of executive search for a work force that has 121 years of history as is 337,000 large. Wow! Second, thank you ERE for giving programs that PaYS and other military recruting initiatives the nod. I look forward to SHRM doing the same at their conference next year. Last week, Sears Holdings grew the ESGR program to encompass the entire business, as well as expanding PaYS to include the officer corps. Check out our new landing page: www.searsholdings.com/military ! The group of large company Military Staffing leaders are starting to band together to drive the DoL and DoD to go the route of hosted Virtual Job Fairs that will reach veterans that cannot make the on-sites, we also need to continue the fight to get all primary branches to band together and catch up to the Army's several awesome initiatives. That's a hard statement for a Navy guy to swallow, but it is the truth. Keep up the fight!
