🌟 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 🌟 #OnTheRoadWithLogan is back—taking you behind the scenes at Hiring Our Heroes events to highlight the incredible connections happening nationwide. 🚗 Logan Watson's latest stop: Portraits For Patriots®, a nonprofit offering free professional headshots to the military community. You might even meet one of their photographers working behind the lens at one of our Career Summit events! 🎙️Logan connected with Sarah Firth, a military spouse and the Director of Programs at Portraits For Patriots®. Like many in the military community, Sarah navigated the challenge of building a professional identity while supporting her family’s service. Sarah’s journey with the organization started as a 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐬 𝐀𝐜𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐲™ participant, where she gained hands-on experience in professional headshot and studio photography, along with foundational business skills. The Academy equips active-duty military spouses with the tools to turn creativity into opportunity, empowering them to build careers that move with them, wherever military life takes them. For Sarah, what started as a personal pursuit quickly became a passion. “My favorite part is watching the people we serve make a shift while we’re working together. They often step in front of my camera carrying nerves and the weight of transition. But when I show them the image we just created, often their first without a uniform or rank, you can see the change. It’s not just about the picture; it’s about how they feel in that moment. That’s why this work is so meaningful to me,” Sarah shared. 📸 Learn more about the Portraits For Patriots Academy™ or book a photography session with one of their volunteers: portraitsforpatriots.org 🎯 Looking for your next mission? Connect with military-ready employers at one of our upcoming virtual or in-person hiring events. 📍Stop by Sarah’s booth for a free headshot at the Fort Carson Career Summit and Peterson Space Force Base Networking Reception, September 10-11. 🔗 HiringOurHeroes.org/events #HiringOurHeroes #OnTheRoadWithLogan #OnTheRoadWithHOH #PortraitsForPatriots #MilitarySpouseEmployment #Veterans #CareerGrowth

Allison didn’t wait for opportunity—she built it. After nine PCS moves and multiple career pauses, Navy spouse Allison G. took charge of her future. Through Hiring Our Heroes' Career Forward program, she earned a Google Career Certificate in Project Management, gaining in-demand skills for the next phase of her journey. By leveraging multiple HOH programs, Allison built momentum, grew professionally, and landed a role at Amazon. “If you had told me a year ago—during another PCS, filled with uncertainty, stepping away from a job I liked—I wouldn’t have believed this was possible,” Allison shared. 📖 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧’𝐬 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐇𝐎𝐇 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞: https://lnkd.in/e93C-UhM #HiringOurHeroes #MilitarySpouse #Amazon #HOHSuccessStory #CareerForward #GrowWithGoogle

When Marine Corps veteran Brian "Hutch" Hutcherson, MBA transitioned out of the military, he wasn’t just looking for a job—he was looking for a company that shared his core values. Through the HOH Corporate Fellowship Program, Hutch found that alignment at CBRE, where the company’s RISE values—Respect, Integrity, Service, and Excellence—mirrored the principles he lived by in uniform. 💬 “Respect, integrity, service, and excellence lines up pretty good with honor, courage, and commitment.” Your military experience—and the values that shaped it—can lead to a successful civilian career. ➡️ 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐅𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲: https://lnkd.in/eVj_TH6p #HiringOurHeroes #SkillBridge #HOHFellow #CBRECareers #HOHFellowship #MilitaryTransition
