Jovan,

I have a strong lead for you for employment. Also, I have a few organizations that can provide direct help in your search for a new career. Please connect with me via LinkedIn.

Also, your IT certifications are very much sought after. HR not so much due to the very different approach in private industry. However, cross-talking military HR experience to private industry HR experience is still possible.

Thanks - John

Jovan, thank you for your service. Targeting specific jobs or fields can improve the effectiveness of your search by sending a message to potential hirers that you understand the personal strengths and interests you bring to the workplace. I suggest visiting my posting of several months ago, "What are best tools for veterans to self-assess their aptitude, capabilities, and interests?" and using one or more of the free/low cost tools available on the Internet to better understand yourself, and what you offer potential employers.
Good luck, Bill Nobles
