Disabled veterans looking for work have resources

Usually, there are only two outcomes from a job interview: an offer of employment or rejection. For Jason Skerik - a disabled combat vet who served in Desert Storm - there was a third.
"During the middle of the interview - it was with this young, energetic guy who was an independent Comcast contractor - I suddenly thought, 'Why am I going to work for you? Why don't I work for myself?' "
Inspired by the thought, Skerik, 40, returned to his home in San Rafael and made a list of ideas. One of them stood out. "I decided to start a maid/janitorial service," he said. "And I decided I would hire veterans."
