Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE:VZ) | Verizon Wireless: Hiring Veterans Makes Our Company Stronger




Reminiscent of the US Army’s “I Want You” recruitment campaign featuring Uncle Sam’s outstretched finger, Verizon Wireless is pointing to veterans with the same message.

Verizon is actively recruiting military veterans in South Carolina for 120 available positions it is looking to fill by the end of 2013. “As more soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen return from active duty in Afghanistan and other places and as the Pentagon continues to trim its budget, more of these highly skilled veterans are searching for employment in the civilian world,” said Michele Brookshire of Verizon’s Talent Acquisitions Team. So Verizon taught its recruiters to understand the value of military training and how a corporal’s chevrons or an ensign’s brass translates into a highly disciplined employee accustomed to multi-tasking and being part of a team effort.

Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ), currently valued at $144.40B, started trading this morning at $50.55. During the trading session, VZ traded between $50.46 to $51.00 with a one year range of $40.51 to $54.31. VZ shares are currently priced at 17.88x this year’s forecasted earnings. Readmore.
