I think that a big part of finding employment is not necessarily the experience that you have, because everyone can be trained for entry level and a little higher positions, but rather who you know in order to get your foot in the door.Response by SGT Joseph Gunderson made Oct 11 at 2017 4:05 PM2017-10-11T16:05:19-04:002017-10-11T16:05:19-04:00SFC Dennis A.2990950<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>When I retired I moved to a rural area so it came down to knocking on doors, family and friends.Response by SFC Dennis A. made Oct 11 at 2017 5:36 PM2017-10-11T17:36:44-04:002017-10-11T17:36:44-04:00PO1 Jotham Anderson2992372<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I used all of them even a few hiring conferences hosted by veteran recruiting companies ( Orion, Bradley Morris are a couple).
