I’ve recently completed my military enlistment with the Air Force and for the last few months, I’ve been searching for employment. During this time, I’ve put quite a bit of research into the various aspects of the employment process. It’s definitely not an easy task with the current state of the job market. I wanted to share some valuable resources I’ve been using during my search. All of the sites below are free.
