I have exhausted all available resources and completely frustrated. I have sent out resumes and still batting zero. Need help.

Follow-up, follow-up, follow-up and take a less desirable job until a career comes into focus.

SSG Riley, I own a company called Infinitas Business Solutions, and although I cannot offer you a job, my company specializes in Resume writing.  Visit my webpage at http://www.infinitasbusinesssolutions.com and upload your resume and I will check it out for you at no cost.  We will help you make some improvements if possible and maybe help you land a job.  We've been very successful in the past helping our customers turn mediocre resumes in resumes that can get you interviews.  Our military background allows for a good understanding in converting military experience into terms that civilian companies understand.  We look forward to hearing from you!

It may not seem extremely lucrative but Walmart has vowed to hire any Vet that applies for a job with them. If you are either Active or have an honorable discharge you should be good. And in some of our cases a job is a job to provide for your family. Good luck.

I have tried the VA and they are helping but lots of red-tape. I am in my Post Graduate program and the funds from the G.I. bill are adequate but not enough.I am swamped and need to keep a roof over my head otherwise the situation will worsen. Will try the Voc.Rehab route. Thanks.

Hello SSG Riley,   Please keep me posted and you can do so by contacting me in email here.   When I was homeless,   I managed to help people as far as California and feel free to contact your local senator, if you need to.

SFC Cannon.   That is very true and there are several programs that can help in the interim.   I will also see if I can find this agency that helps veterans.    They may be able to help you with your bills.

I am so sorry to hear that but please contact the VA social worker.   In some cases,  they can help.

SSG Riley that is correct the VA has several programs, maybe you can get into Voc-Rehab to get new skills and get paid to go to school. They will work with you if you ask.

It sounds weird but go to Facebook and message the page Warrior Pointe they have guys that respond to these situations all the time. One of the board members is with USA Cares and they can help give you resources you might not know about. When you message the page the first line should read ATTN CHIEF VERY IMPORTANT! This will make my guys flag it and get on it ASAP

SGT Robert Riley find your local DAV chapter. Reach out to them and let them know your situation. They may be able to assist with short term loans or grants and helping you find a potential next job. Don't forget about Unemployment, pride aside anything can help. Your local county or state VA group (State of Georgia VA?) may be more helpful in assistance.
