For those that have switched from the DOD sector to private sectors, how did you make yourself more appealing to the private sector? I'm an analyst by trade (in various types) but have plenty of experience in MS 365 cloud developing systems and developing database systems. I've worked as a DOD contractor for 18 years now, but I want to broaden my horizons. I'm not necessarily tying to get out of the DOD Contracting world, but would like to be more appealing to private companies.

Is it just me or with the rise of attacks on "essential workers", it's scary nowadays to work a public-facing job? I've seen so many videos of workers getting attacked for doing their job, some of them have even lost their lives.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
