I am a soldier transitioning from active duty to the reserves and I'm having a hard time finding a place that will hire me. I have like 6 different resumes for whatever different jobs I come across and I qualify for the ones I apply for. Any advice?

Try Att.com fill out the online application and go with the flow from there. I got hired and they started me at almost $18 an hour, it doesn't matter if u know the job, they will trim u for 10 weeks, paid. The job title is premise technician. Lots of good benefits, rewards and discounts. Good luck

The Biggest thing I can tell you is to stay motivated. It is hard out there. I got out in 1999 and the market was good but still went through a ton applications before I finally got some bites.

Trust me when I say that once you get one multiple shall follow.

You can also try a temp agency but do some research before working with them.

I wish the best for you.

I will look to see if I have any contacts in your area.

If you remain positive good things will come; maybe just not at the pace you wish.

I might have the record. 500 applications and counting on USAjobs. Hang tough, brother.

Usajobs is a pig of applicant tracking software. I also have around 250 federal applications in. Only 2 interviews so far, and no job. I think getting a fed job might be a lot more like winning the lottery than getting a job.

If you have over 500 applications, you might be doing it wrong. Just saying.
