Tampa-based employability expert announces new
program, especially tailored for those who need it most
during an economic downturn.

Tampa, FL, May 20, 2009 (PressRelease Point) -- Nationally
recognized career coach Lance T. Walker, today announced
the launch of a new program targeted to the needs of men
and women leaving the military, and the unemployed - two
of the hardest hit groups as America struggles to regain its
economic footing.

For a limited time, anyone separating from the armed forces,
or dealing with the stress of unexpected unemployment, can
gain access to the kind of career guidance services that
usually only the well-to-do can afford -- for free. The
program even includes a top-quality Personality Assessment
Profile to help clients pinpoint exactly the kinds of jobs they
should be looking for.

"It's my way of contributing more than just a 'thank you',"
says Lance. "This recession can actually be an opportunity for
us as a society. We have huge challenges to face, but we also have
great new career options never before available. It's high time
we stopped ignoring some of our greatest assets - those who have
served their country in time of need, and those with valuable
work experience whose industries have been shedding jobs."

A military veteran himself, Mr. Walker credits his Air Force
experience with helping him escape a life of inner-city struggle
during the recession of the early 1980's.

"I was just coming out of high school, and I made some critical
educational and career decisions that almost took me out of the
game," Lance says. If I hadn't had the option of joining the USAF,
there's no telling where I'd have wound up. A little bit of genuine
career coaching at that time would have changed my life completely."

Mr. Walker believes that standard career counseling, while useful,
is not necessarily enough in today's super-competitive environment.
Many veterans, for example, may need help "re-civilianizing" and
adjusting mentally to a world where people don't follow orders and
rank is not clearly displayed on a sleeve or a collar.

"We teach our military members to win," says Lance. There is simply
no reason for them to come home and have unemployment take that
feeling away from them. We have the knowledge and the technology to
help them obtain the living standard they've earned. And now it's
available at no cost."
