Hire Our Heroes (HOH) in partnership with Armed Forces Foundation (AFF) will provide a free, round-trip ticket to any transitioning veteran going on a job interview anywhere in the country.
If you are currently actively engaged in the final steps of a job interview out of state, where the final step is that you fly in for a face to face interview, HOH will fly you there for free.
HOH will provide a free round trip airline ticket to any transitioning veteran interviewing to secure a job without the means to travel to and from the interview. The idea here is to support small to medium size businesses by allowing them to tap into an untapped market of talent that they might not typically have access to, due to budget constraints. In addition, this allows transitioning veterans the opportunity to interview and secure opportunities prior to making the final transition back into the civilian world.
HOH hopes that by providing these benefits to all transitioning veterans, the odds of securing employment are greatly increased.
