Best places to seek help finding work.

I currently drive tanker trucks in the gas industry here in the northeast. I am currently seeking better employment to support a family of six. Is there any groups that help vets find better more stable employment?

Hi Kaleb,

I have attached a link to a website that helps vets with their job search. I am a career consultant working with several organizations assisting veterans with their job search. If you need assistance with resume development etc. I would be glad to assist.

Have you joined ACP? They will assign you a Mentor who can help with job seeking advice and direction. There are many organizations, like my company, who seek out Veterans. Most job applications ask if you are a Veteran...make sure you check that box!

Good Luck and thanks for your service.

i'd start with your core competencies and see what indeed.com has to offer - think along the lines of regional mgmt or working for a corporation that is interested in skills built on the road, and that would translate to an office gig (assuming that's what your looking for - closer to home/kids, less windshield time). Maybe something along the lines of project management, terminal manager, or even sales...

reinvention is tougher. plenty of schools out there...but starting from scratch w/ a big family is no easy task. Not impossible - but the support structure needs to be there (financially/family/etc) if it's going to be done right.
