<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Resources at the final location. When I left there wasn&#39;t a point of contact for anyone I could say, &quot;Hey where can I go locally for XYZ&quot; I&#39;m sure a list POC&#39;s at a local military center/base would be a good start. Transition Centers close by???

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I would agree with the resume writing point. My resume has grown in strength as I learn what employers want, but I was having issues with relating my military experience to civilian jobs.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My challenge was not getting the job, but adapting to the work environment afterwards. I found that my co-workers that had never served didn&#39;t understand my drive and desire to get work done in a timely manner. I also struggled with office politics and workplace ethics, I don&#39;t recall ever hearing anything during TAP so I felt very unprepared. T-GPS focus is on getting the job, not making the transition into the workplace which I think needs to be addressed.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>The process of which jobs would be beneficial based on your skills acquired during time of service. My Navy job is a bit complicated since I can&#39;t necessary change to the outside world because of the classification. While I may not have wanted to continue on with my Navy job in the civilian world, I would like to see what those in the civilian sector are looking for based on veterans coming out of service. I work an admin-based job where I&#39;m stuck sitting for 8 hours and coming from a environment of on your feet all day everyday to sitting, I don&#39;t like the complacency.<br /><br />I hope that with TAPS classes, that there is a better way to for those who have situations like me can be able to find decent and good-paying jobs and not have to struggle to make ends meet.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>CMSgt Kevin Howell,<br />Good morning, As an Artillery guy a lot of people in the civilian world during job interviews or phone interviews always have this questions, What can an Artilleryman give back to the civilian world after 20 years of military service? SO transitioning from Artillery to Security, not a security guard but like, Personnel Security, Physical Security, not a lot of artillery guy are going into this field but I just happen to find loopholes in the system and learn how to word my resume after working in the S2 and going to school for security and working in a prison for 1 year as a CO, But still people don&#39;t see the office prospective in this on my resume. They don&#39;t want to give us a chance, its&#39; like they are afraid too. Resume writing has been always been a super hard thing for me because we only know the military side and we must get with our civilian counterparts to help with the rewording of our military terms because there is always a way and for a start when I was in 1SG course or Senior leaders Course. We were never given any instructions on resume writing because, I think the course should as be designed for us to help us start transitioning our soldiers out of the military because not all soldiers decided they want to make this a career path. You ask a lot of senior NCO&#39;s who are getting ready to transition out of the military if they have a clue on resume writing unless they learned in college most combat arms guys and girls have not. SO it&#39;s been a ride for sometime since I have retired. I just happened to have the right tools and have gone to the right schools and , it&#39;s about networking building relationship and remembering leaders who trained you and the key is the Resume and the cover letter.<br /><br /><br /><br />STEPHENS&#39;
