What was the best thing you learned from attending the Transition Assistance Program (TAP) / Transition GPS?

Careerinfonet.org has a regional salary calculator to help with salary negotiation.

The best information I recall was related to our VA education benefits, specifically the GI Bill. Every Vet should take advantage of the opportunity to put some tools in the tool box whether its certifications, degrees, etc. After having my resume fine tuned by a seasoned HR professional in 2015, the TAPS class couldn't offer near the quality services like I received. Point being, they try to push too much information, jack of all trades and master of none. I knew getting into business and earning my MBA and PMP certification is what I wanted to do, therefore a course helping Vets identifying top business programs, how to apply, what to expect, etc. would have been invaluable to me. Instead, I received a plethora of information on other topics, one of the top hiring rail road companies for example, which is an outstanding career path but it wasn't relevant to me.

From my experience, it's a check the block. National Guard have to do it after every deployment and the many of us have a civilian career that is already in place. I think it should be an optional program for reservists, that way those that complete it are interested and not just using up resources.
I'm interested in seeing what the positives others have seen. I had several soldiers told by the counselors to fill out an application, any application , and send it in as proof you applied for a job- they used Burger King as the example and that the same one could be used for both required applications. Sad, really.
