Since JibberJobber started we’ve had a special offer for military and veterans (and spouses). This comes from my history being around military families, starting when I was 11, and continuing through today. I can’t do much, but as the owner of JibberJobber I can give veterans one year of JibberJobber premium to help them transition. We have been doing this since 2006 (veterans can sign up at JibberJobberUSA.com).
Recently I read an article that disgusted me – it talked about some problems that one specific veteran is facing in his transition home, and as he tries to get a job outside of the military. As I was reading about this veteran I thought that I could do a little more, and decided to reach out to my network of career coaches and resume writers to see what they are currently offering. The list below is surely not complete (leave a comment or email me if you know of something that should be added, or if something is misrepresented – this list should get better over time).
NOTE: Service providers who are not listed here have either not responded to my request or do not have special discounts for military. Please respect their business choice – in some cases their prices might already be very low, or for some reason they have made a business decision which does not allow for discounts. Please respect their business choices, for whatever reason they made them.

I would help vets set up their Linkedin profiles and conduct a really effective job search using Linkedin. It doesn’t matter what industry they are in. This is currently a $695 product called STealthSearch and we’ve had great results – people typically into new jobs within 8 weeks. I would not charge any of our vets/aka our heroes, a dime.

As the wife of a Vietnam veteran Army helicopter pilot and the mother of a daughter who served honorably in the Navy for four years during OIF/OEF, I have a heart for military veterans. In my business, I have offered a discount to US military veterans “forever”. My discount (10% for all writing and coaching services) is my way of saying “Thank you!” to all who have sacrificed to make life better for the rest of us. I hope that when non-military prospects and clients see that discount right up front (the only discount I offer), it helps them to appreciate the blessings they have received via those who have served.

I will not charge and that means I will have to limit working with vets one at a time. I am a career coach and depending on the scope of the need, will determine how helpful I can be. Resume enhancement, interview preparation, assessments like the MBTI (cost for this), etc.
