Matthew, thank you for your service. If you haven't already done so I suggest considering self-assessment tools that can help identify your strengths and interests, and the type industries or jobs that capitalize on those. My April 23, 2013 ACP posting "What are best tools for veterans to self-assess their aptitude, capabilities, and interests?" provided some options and ideas others have used.
Good luck, Bill Nobles

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for your service. Would you be able to provide Advisors with a bit more detail about your job search so far, industries that you may be interested in, and some information about your military skills so that the community can provide you with some personalized career advice?

Best Regards,
Colleen
