I always looked at employment agencies as "temp" agencies but many companies here hire exclusively through agencies. Some are considered temp or temp to hire but they have direct placement too. Sign up with 4-5 of them
It’s tough. Network like crazy. Go on LinkedIn and look for Mil City Meetup and join. Go to the events. There is a great community here.
What are you interested in and qualified to do?
USAA is a great place to work unless your role becomes expendable.
I know at least 10 people that either currently do or have worked at USAA in a variety of roles. I've only heard good things from mid level management and above, and mixed reviews for entry level work.
What have you done to prepare for your transition out of the military?
Contact usaa. They have a program called hiring our heroes. It’s like an internship that can help get your foot in the door.
And lookup people that you know that work there on linked in and reach out. Let them know that you are moving to the area and are looking for a new career. Trust me I’m always hearing people that meet and they know each other from 20 years ago in Guam. Use your connections to get a job. And thank you for your service.
You’re prior air force USAA 2?
Look at USAA. They give preference to military veterans.
Many companies do, but I would get feedback on USAA before you post there.
Good luck sir. I have been looking in SA for 4 months and have not even gotten an interview .
