Getting bored with retirement.

Hello, I've been retired for a little over a year now and I'm getting bored and wanting to look for a job. Is there anywhere in the Jacksonville, NC area hiring? I have a bad back and joints so I really can't be on my feet for extended periods of time. I'd love to work outside somewhere!

SSgt Rick Gresh, have you looked online? I searched "Jacksonville, NC and hiring veterans" and this page came up as the first option: http://www.indeed.com/q-Department-Veterans-l-Jacksonville,-NC-jobs.html

There might be something there for you.

You need to look at Orion International, I've had great success working with them, though I never really accepted a job through them. I retired in 06 and had a mini bidding war between a few companies, also remember, the recuiting firm were to get a percent of my salary, so they were trying to get the most for me.

Look into American Systems Corporation.

There should be quite a few other contracting business attached to Camp Lejeune, check the USMC/Navy PIO's there.

Allied Barton does alot of security work in the area.

Also look into USAJOBS.com for the area and study the OPM job hiring process , and investigate VA assets in the area, surely there are many given the area. Also there is the VFW and the Legion.
