| Charitable Contributions | Doing good can also be good for your bottom line. If you itemize deductions,
you can write off your charitable contributions, whether you give money to a church, stocks to your alma mater, or clothing
to overseas relief efforts. But as is usually the case, the IRS has plenty of rules that can trip you up if you're not
careful. Here's how to max out on tax savings when you donate to a nonprofit. | | Job Opening: Veteran Support Associate | | Based in IAVA's (Iraq and Afghanistan
Veterans of America) New York City headquarters, the communications associate will work closely with the communications director
and communications associate on all communications efforts for the organization. This position offers an extraordinary opportunity
to play a key role in executing media and messaging strategy for a highly visible and media savvy organization. | | The Foreign Service is Hiring Vets | | "After retiring from the USAF I was looking
for a new career that would pay well, offer job security, and offer me the chance to travel as much as I did in the military.
I found it with the U.S. State Department's Foreign Service. The Foreign Service is a division of the U.S. State Department
that is responsible for American foreign policy and operation of our Embassies and Consulates abroad at more than 260 locations worldwide." | | 5 Recession-proof Industries | | Job searching has become a bit of a challenge in today's
uncertain economic climate. If a lucky job seeker finds a job in this recession, he may have to ask himself if he'll
still be employed in six months to a year. However, Kiplinger magazine found five "recession-proof" industries
that will assuage job seekers' fears. | | Register Today for the Chicago Career Fair | | Military.com Career Fair is coming to
Chicago on April 14, 2009. This event will feature top employers seeking the valuable skills you learned in service to your
country. You can also attend employment workshops focused on helping you leverage your military experience in the civilian
job market. Register to attend -- it's free. | | Show off Your Military Know-how at the Heli-Expo | | Helicopters, once considered the
realm of crackpots and adventurers, are everywhere in our modern world. From medevac choppers that whisk people to hospitals,
to oil-rig taxis that take oil workers out to off-shore oil platforms all over the world, to logging helicopters that harvest
trees without requiring destructive road-building in wilderness areas, helicopters are omnipresent. And the military reflects
this trend, with helicopters performing many duties with every branch. | | Interview Take-along Checklist | | You're interviewing for a job tomorrow, and you
think you're prepared: You've got your answers to a multitude of common interview questions down and have a few of
your own for the interviewer. Your suit is pressed and ready. But what do you bring to the interview? We've created
this handy checklist, with the help of Monster Interview Expert Marky Stein, so you won't forget a thing. | | Five Things to Take to the Career Fair | | A career fair is a great place to gather
information about potential employers and make contacts that can lead to your first job. Here's some advice on how to
make the most of your time. | | Networking for Veterans | | We've all heard networking is a key job search strategy,
but how often do we actually use our connections or extend ourselves to make new contacts? Luckily, the Internet makes networking
a little easier. Several veterans' organizations have websites providing information on military reunions, how to locate
old friends or news on current trends in veteran employment. You can connect with others by using Web resources to learn
more about professional associations and their benefits to members, or by initiating an alliance with veteran comrades who
understand your skills and have shared similar employment experiences. | | Stimulus Act Benefits for the Unemployed | | A number of provisions to help the unemployed
are included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), and here's a list of some of the major benefits.
Offerings vary greatly by state, so check with your local unemployment office to find out what exactly is available to you.
The ARRA funds a new temporary Federal Additional Compensation program that suggests states up the unemployment benefit
$25 per week for the period beginning Feb. 22, 2009. | | |

| Stimulus Package to Increase Government Hiring |  The federal government will need to hire an additional 200,000 workers over the next three years as a result of President
Obama's federal stimulus plan and additional spending included in his budget plan. That may sound like a lot of jobs,
but it's just slightly less than half of the 384,000 additional employees Uncle Sam already needed to pick up between
2009 and 2012 just to replace existing federal employees expected to leave their jobs. | |

| Army Reserve Employer Partnership Unfazed by Flagging Economy | | A program that links Army reservists
with civilian employers is going strong -- despite record unemployment and gloomy hiring predictions -- as more employers
sign on every month so they can hire qualified reservists. | | Why Networking Works | | "I attended the TAP classes at the community center on
Pendleton. During that time, I was pursuing business in networking marketing. That was an uncertain road. For terminal leave,
I flew to Japan to visit my wife's family and connected with a friend for a potential job offer in Tokyo. That friend
helped me compile my resume using a template from the Internet. He took me to an IT hiring agency. After the interview,
I knew I needed to improve language proficiency and get a couple certifications." | | Register Today for the St. Louis Career Fair | | Military.com Career Fair is coming
to St. Louis, Mo. on April 2, 2009. This event will feature top employers seeking the valuable skills you learned in service
to your country. You can also attend employment workshops focused on helping you leverage your military experience in the
civilian job market. Register to attend -- it's free. | | Four Skills You Can Transfer to a Health Care Career | | If you're a newcomer to
health care or are considering entering it, you may think your job history and experiences outside the field are irrelevant.
You're wrong. Many of your strengths and skills -- whether they include customer-service expertise or the ability to
multitask under pressure -- are probably more relevant and transferable to health care than you realize. A health care professional
and two recruiters offer a rundown on some valuable transferable skills as well as advice on how to showcase such attributes
during your job search. | | 5 Home-based Businesses for Hard Times | | Even in a recession, some home-based businesses
can do well. Here are five that may work for you. | | Careers in Fitness: Economy Strong for Personal Trainers | | Deciding on a career that
best utilizes your skill sets and allows you to enjoy your chosen path on a day-to-day basis is sometimes easier said than
done-but not today. If you enjoy helping others and have a zest for a healthy lifestyle, the fitness industry can offer
you a fulfilling and flexible business to call your own. Amid a growing demand for fitness professionals, many of whom report
a high degree of job satisfaction, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reports that the fitness industry is expected to
grow much faster than average for all occupations. | | Put Your Education to Work | | Whether you're a Harvard-educated MBA or recently
obtained your GED, you can use your resume's education section to outshine your competition. If you're unsure about
the best way to present your education, here are some common scenarios and strategies: Where to Place Education? | | It You're Not Getting a Job, Get Interview Feedback | | You know the feeling: That
moment in the interview when you realize the opportunity passed you by. Or perhaps you think you're interviewing well,
but you aren't getting any results. You need to figure out what you are doing wrong and fix it ASAP. But where do you
start? Third-party headhunters and recruitment agencies often provide invaluable feedback when they interview you or send
you on interviews. But how do you determine how to improve your interviewing performance if you're going it alone? | | Stop-loss Special Pay | | Stop-loss special pay is a $500 a month compensation paid to
servicemembers who have had their military service involuntarily extended under a stop-loss order since Oct. 1, 2008. Servicemembers
currently stop-lossed will begin to receive an extra $500 in pay on April 1, 2009. This initial payment will pay eligible
servicemembers for the month of March 2009. | | Action Now = Tax Savings in April | | Whether you have a good year, rebound from recent
losses, or struggle to get off the ground, you may be able to save a bundle on your taxes if you make the right moves before
the end of the year. Dec. 31 is the key date because that's when the IRS pretty much closes the books for 2008. Actions
you take before then count when you prepare your 2008 tax return next spring. | | |
