Hi Chaz,

Thank you for your question, and thank you for your service!

When it comes to landing an entry level role, networking can be a really powerful approach! You can search by Industry (I.T.) on LinkedIn, as well as Location to view all of the entry-level I.T. openings in your area of interest. From there, you can reach out to professionals you find in the field and message them for further information and questions, allowing you to form a connection as well!

We have some great resources about networking on LinkedIn. Check out some of these great articles for more tips:

You can also use ACP AdvisorNet's "Community" feature to search by industry (I.T.) in your location of choice! You can Direct Message an Advisor from that field to learn more and form connections that way, as well.

Hopefully this helps!
