For those who have left the service ... Before getting out I had recruiters talking to me left and right, asking me to submit my resume and even willing to hire me. Since I retired, and have been out for a year ... nothing. What's the difference? Now I actually have civilian and military experience in my field with a degree. So what made me more marketable a year ago compared to now when I am even more experienced and marketable?

Personally, I don't think you were more marketable a year ago.
I think it was the need for personnel in the job field. Biggest thing I'd say is to go out and sale yourself now. Go to the Job Fairs on different posts. Army Community Service and ACAP hold them all the time. Fort Campbell has one every week. Good luck man.

Yea I was in the 101st, and retired from there just last year. I used ACAP, but ACAP only scratches the surface. I know for a fact that Soldiers don't get the needed time for ACAP unless you are in the senior ranks, as I saw it first hand. I fortunately got my time because I forced the hand. I feel sorry for the ones who deployed, and only get 3 months. I have done everything that ACAP said, and it I didn't get my job through ACAP. I got it using internet site LinkedIn. ACAP was great, and I won't put it down. I wish all Soldiers would get their year, or two at best to be best prepared.
