First up tonight we have Mr. Kevin O’Brien from www.milicruit.com. MILICRUIT.COM was created to address the premise that the traditional recruiting environment of veterans is costly, time-consuming and often times ineffective. Given the large number of veterans currently looking to reenter civilian life, and the large number of employers seeking to hire veterans, we designed milicruit.com in an effort to allow both parties to meet and interact in a 3 dimensional online setting.
Kevin is the vice president of business development for UBM Studios. O’Brien has more than 15 years of expertise in the virtual communications industry. In 2001, O’Brien joined Genesys Conferencing and led the sales efforts in North America. Genesys was ultimately acquired by West Corporation in 2008.
In 2008, O’Brien developed Milicruit and Unicruit aimed at bringing industry leading employers and job seekers together in a fully interactive, virtual environment. O’Brien joined forces with UBM Studios in 2010 to bring his virtual career fair vision to a much wider audience.
Next up is Mr. James F. Christ, who is a past guest and author of a series of books about large, but mostly unknown battles in Afghanistan. James’s books are true, gritty and tell it like it is. A recent review on Amazon for his book The Boneyard stated
Reading James F. Christ’s book helped me better understand what is happening in Afghanistan. I felt like I was there, with research and gritty writing that made this book hard-hitting for me. Christ has interviewed the soldiers who are there fighting the battles and dealing with hte The author has interviewed soldiers, officers and enlisted, who are on the ground doing the fighting. This a great read for learning more about what is happening over there than is being shown on the news channels.
James has several new books out which he will be on the show to talk about. You can see all of James’s books HERE.
