Google wants to help you land a job that matches your skills. The Web giant on Monday introduced a new feature that lets veterans enter their specific military job codes to browse civilian jobs that require similar skills. To see what's available, search "jobs for veterans" on Google and enter your MOS, AFSC, or NEC code. This feature is also available on other career sites using Google's Cloud Talent Solution including CareerBuilder, Getting Hired, FedEx Careers, Encompass Health Careers, and Siemens Careers. "When I transitioned out of the military in 2014, I asked myself a question that many service members know too well: 'What am I going to do next?' Google Cloud Program Manager Matthew Hudson, a former Air Force civil engineer, wrote in a blog post. "Since working [at Google], I've sought out ways to give back to the veteran community, and today, I'm proud to be part of a team that worked on a series of new tools and resources for transitioning military personnel, their spouses, and veterans." As part of this effort, Google's philanthropic arm, Google.org, is giving the United Service Organizations (USO) a $2.5 million grant to help provide veterans with IT support training. USO will use the money to incorporate Google's IT Support Professional Certificate into its programming. The Google-developed program promises to help students – including those with no tech experience or college degree – "become ready for an entry-level job in IT support in about eight months." Finally, former service members with businesses can now mark them as being veteran-owned on Google Maps and Search. To add this new attribute to your business listing, head over to Google My Business.
