Veterans Jobs Portal
Governor Charlie Crist, continuing his commitment to assist Florida’s more than 1.6 million military veterans and strengthen the state’s workforce, announced a new online jobs portal to provide employment services to Florida veterans. Employ Florida Vets, the newest initiative in Florida’s commitment to veterans, helps match servicemen and women to the jobs and training opportunities that suit the skills and experience gained in the military.
“Our courageous veterans are proven, skilled leaders whose integrity and discipline have helped protect the freedoms and opportunities we all enjoy,” said Governor Crist. “Employ Florida Vets is the latest example of our commitment to provide the men and women who defended our nation and now call Florida home with enhanced opportunities to find jobs and access training and other resources that will help them be successful in their civilian careers.”
Adjutant General of Florida Maj. Gen. Emmett R. Titshaw Jr. “This is not only an effective way of making sure our citizen-Soldiers and Airmen are given the tools they need to find meaningful employment, but a great opportunity to provide Florida employers with access to our highly skilled and professional veterans." The web portal is a gateway to information and resource links that will assist veterans, veterans' families and employers in accomplishing their employment goals.
Portal highlights include:
- A unique jobs search function to help veterans find civilian jobs that match the skills they learned in the military
- Information and advice about writing resumes and finding apprenticeships and jobs ideally suited to their military experience
- Information about the Florida law that gives veterans hiring preference when they apply for public-sector jobs.
- Information for Florida businesses and organizations about tax incentives available for hiring veterans.
- A centralized jobs posting site for employers seeking veterans with specialized skills.
- Employers are able to enter open positions directly on www.EmployFlorida.com or through their local One-Stop Career Center.

Protecting Your Social Security Number
Deter - Detect - Defend
According to the Social Security Administration, identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in America. Once a dishonest person has your social security number they can use it to get personal information about you, apply for credit in your name, or cause you any number of other problems.Identify thieves often get your personal information by:- Stealing wallets, purses and your mail (bank and credit card statements, pre-approved credit offers, new checks, tax information)
- Stealing personal information you provide to an unsecured website, from business or personnel records at work and personal information at home.
- Rummaging through your trash, the trash of businesses and public trash receptacles
- Posing as someone who needs information about you
- Buying personal information from inside sources
So, what is the best way to protect yourself?
DETER identity thieves by safeguarding your information. Keep your card, and any other document that shows your Social Security number on it, in a safe place. If you need to present your card for any reason be sure to return it to a safe place - don't get in the habit of routinely carrying it. Be cautious about sharing your Social Security number...ask why it is needed, how it will be used, and what will happen if you refuse.
DETECT suspicious activity by routinely monitoring your financial accounts and billing statements.
DEFEND against ID theft as soon as you suspect a problem. If someone has misused your Social Security number or other personal information to create credit or other problems for you, there are several things you should do:- PLACE a fraud alert on your credit reports. Fraud alerts can help prevent an identity thief from opening any more accounts in your name. Contact the toll-free fraud number of any of the following three consumer reporting companies to place a fraud alert on your credit report:
TransUnion: 1-800-680-7289; www.transunion.com
Equifax: 1-800-525-6285; www.equifax.com
Experian: 1-888-397-3742; www.experian.com- CLOSE the accounts that you know have been opened fraudulently, or tampered with.
- CONTACT the Internal Revenue Service Identity Protection Unit. An identity thief might use your Social Security number to file a tax return in order to receive a refund, or use it to get a job.
- FILE an FTC ID Theft Complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). You can find detailed information here to help you deter, detect and defend against identity theft.
- FILE a police report with your local police, or the police in the community where the identity theft took place. The FTC Complaint can be incorporated into the police record for maximum protection.
- FILE an online complaint with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) which offers an easy to use reporting mechanism to alert authorities of suspected violations.
