<p>Due to <a href="https://www.dol.gov/sites/dolgov/files/ETA/publications/Pilot_Study_Translating_Military_Skills_to_Civilian_Employment_Acc.pdf" rel="noopener">differences in job classification systems</a> and difficulty translating military experience and job titles, TSMs, Veterans and even civilian employers face challenges during the hiring process. These challenges can lead Veterans to obtain duplicative skills and certifications or facing periods of unemployment or underemployment.</p>

<p>“Salesforce encourages its employees to ‘be your true self’ at work,&#8217;” said Mike Nolan, senior manager, Military Recruiting. “It’s because of our culture that we strongly encourage TSMs, Veterans and spouses to build their personal brands and make connections with other employees from the military community. Leveraging the shared military bond encourages conversations, which lead to friendships that help translate how military experience aligns with the civilian workforce.”</p>

	to complete the Judgment. Forms assistants participate in the meetings
	between the litigants and the Judge Pro Tem. Once the judgment and
	related documents have been approved by the Judge Pro Tem, the forms
	assistants accompany the litigants to the courtroom for entry of
	Judgment.
