Google makes it easier for veterans to find jobs, as well as businesses led by other service members

As with many other large businesses in the US, you'll find plenty of former military personnel working at Google. Some of them have put their heads together to come up with some ways to make things easier for veterans as they move on to the next phase of their life.

The first new initiative, through Grow with Google, adds new features to a search for "jobs for veterans." Enter your military (MOS) code and Google will surface results for civilian job listings that require a similar skill set. Partnerships with other companies will also make this possible on services that use Google's Cloud Talent Solution, such as FedEx Careers, Encompass Health Careers, Siemens Careers, and more.

Another initiative aims to support engagement within the community by highlighting businesses owned by veterans. A new Google My Business attribute for "vet-led" ventures will add a badge to listings on Google Maps and Search so that other veterans can more easily identify them. Grow with Google is also giving a $2.5 million grant to the United Service Organizations (USO) for IT education among current military personnel and veterans. This will allow the USO to offer Google's IT Support Professional Certificate.

Why Christopher Reeve's ''Superman' Is So Hard to Leave in the Past

#ChristopherReeve #Clarkkent #DCcomics #LoisLane #RichardDonner #Superman Forty years ago, Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve made a Superhero film that directors have been chasing for years, depicting who America was then — or at least who we wished to be Superman. It’s now easy to believe a man can fly. It wasn’t in 1978, but today, in midst of an explosion of superhero movies, it’s a belief we give into with relative ease. Flight is most often the bare minimum of what we expect from heroes and villains who can perform any feat limited only by the human imagination. It’s not simply special effects that permit our belief, but rather an overall acceptance that these costume-clad characters are a defining part of our culture, modern myths at their best and populist cinematic staples akin to the 20th century western at their lowest form. There have been a record nine theatrically released superhero movies based on comic books this year alone, each claiming a major piece of the glo...
