Tips to find and land a job

1. Identify your passion

Ask yourself what type of role/industry will I be professionally and personally gratified by pursuing in my next career".
2. Build your personal brand

Sometimes veterans can get lost in their identity when they transition from the service. Don't let this happen to you. Know what you want to be (or at least what you want to do), seek education that supports your goals (degree, certifications, licenses, ets.), and research the industry.
3. Develop a personal strategy

Be targeted in your approach to find your next career. Actively pursue any opportunity to engage with company employees and ensure that you are able to "tell your story" in person and on social networking platforms.
4. Build Professional relationships

Seek out current employees and conduct informational interviews. Your goal should be to have the company know your name before they know your resume. Popular job boards are resourceful tools.
5. Identify Support Organizations

There are many support organizations that offer support at the local, regional, and national level. Several options are Veterati, USO, Hiring Our Heroes, etc.
6. Dedicated Time to Prepare

The famous saying is "finding a job is the hardest job you will ever have". Don't put off or wait until the last minute to conduct research about the company. Understand the company's history and culture, retention rates, development opportunities, employee satisfaction, etc.
