Create a job search plan– Think about the career field you want to work in and potential job opportunities. Research companies in this field to see if you’re qualified for any open positions.

Exploit your experience– Provide information on your resume that tells employers how your military background relates to a job opportunity. Highlight the skills and experience you have to offer.
