Bala,
* Have you utilized any self-assessment tools to help identify possible career or educational choices? (several are suggested here: https://acp-advisornet.org/question/725/what-are-best-tools-for-veterans-to-self-assess-their-aptitude-capabilities-and-interestss )

* Have you developed a top-notch resume and LinkedIn profile? Ask someone on this board to review it and offer their thoughts. (post a request for help with your resume and LinkedIn profile)

* Have you requested a one-on-one mentor from ACP? ( http://acp-usa.org/Mentoring_Program )

* Sell yourself! What skills and attributes do you offer a potential employer? Why should an employer speak with you and consider you for a job? (If you need help developing good answers ask on this board.)
