JPMorgan Chase leads '100,000 Jobs Mission' to hire military personnel leaving active duty through 2020.

Cisco, AT&T, Verizon and EMC have joined seven other major corporations that have jointly pledged to hire 100,000 veterans and military personnel that end active duty by the end of 2020.

JPMorgan Chase is leading so-called "100,000 Jobs Mission." The high tech firms involved note that technical skills learned and used in the military could easily benefit them.

I excerpted to be on the safe side. Although Computer World is not on FR's list of excerpt-only sites, its sister publication, PC World, is on the list.

Anyone looking for a job in Houston or Austin let me know.

We got tech jobs from entry level to System Administrators and PERL developers available.

Looks like there are a couple more cities opening in the next few months too.

I didn’t know Perl was even still around.

That would be fun, but only if I could work at home. In my underwear. Drunk.

Private companies may hire who they wish while our GOV needs to hire
only those who are competent and capable. Including those who are willing
to serve for the community, not for fortune.

Pearl or PERL. lol

I didn’t know how to read that, working with “Pearl” at home and drunk sounds like it could be a worthwhile endeavor.

Yeah it is around still and it is a new push for the positions that just showed up. I just confirmed it: Perl Software Developer is how they list the positions that are open.
