job hunting....ugh!

Look for a job has become the most stressful thing ive ever done. Im all military that's all I know. And I cant even find a job at a burger joint or pizza place. It dont help that I dont have a license. But if I was to get hired I would have a reliable way to get to and from work. im just getting so frustrated and ready to just quit looking.
I dont have any experience except what I learned from the military. I went straight from school to military. I want to go back to school but I cant afford it. im just trying to go to school quick and fast not spending years in school like I originally planned. Idk things are just not looking good.

If you just got out then you should qualify for max unemployment while you look for a job. And you should be able to use your GI or post 9/11 for schooling for free and even a housing allowance. Good luck!.

Definitely, unemployment also holds seminars for veterans to assist with the job search (some do the resumes for you because we tend to use military lingo). I get emails everyday for jobs they I may qualify for.

Idk If youve Looked At This But It's A Pretty Good Break Down. I Had To Write My Husbands Resume Because He Couldn't Seem To Translate His Resume Into Civilian Terms Or Make It Appealing To A Civilian Audience. Air LiquiDe Is The Company He Is With And It's MilitaryPreferred. They Have Shipping And Distribution Jobs For Newly Civilian And They Offer A Ton Of Benefits. If You Go The Unemployment Route See If You Can Get Your Resume Checked And Get Feed Back On it.
