Vet Jobs: Networking is the Key

We can pay attention to resume preparation, further education and planning, but without the ability to get an interview, it is for naught. Networking is the key! The best way to get comfortable with networking is to just start doing it. Get off the couch and into the world! Check with your college or the local college's career center, the local employment office, the library, the Chamber of Commerce. Talk to your postal representative, your mayor if the town is small enough and, of course, the local Veterans Service Officer. Always look sharp, always have a copy of your resume and always be prepared with a "30-second bio" to share with anyone. For more information, read the VA VAntage Point Blog.
