I remade my resume over 5 times already. I served in the ARMY. I have a degree. I'm about to give up on job searching and just use my Gi Bill to go back to school again. I been active with my job searching since February with no one wanting to take a chance on me. It's beyond me. I really hate the civilian world.

Honestly, i dont get it. Is it that you have no admin experience? Perhaps you should shoot lower… a clerical position, maybe entry level secretary, build up the skills to be an admin, then search again. I worked for many many years, and an admin was a promotion. Almost no one got hired into it. Whats ur degree in? Where are u looking to work and in what state? In my state, i vertually never not got a job i applied for.

Find a recruiter and let them help you out. You will find many of them on LinkedIn. Also revise your social media because that is now considered part of your CV.

What roles are you applying for and do you meet those qualifications? What’s your degree? Going back to school might not be beneficial if you have no prior work experience and your military experience isn’t relatable to the roles you’re applying for.

I highly recommend that you look at opportunities in USAJOBS.GOV
Being a Veteran gives you preference in all the jobs listed. The resume portion can be very tricky because it is run through a computer which looks for KSA's. I am sure they have workshops to assist with the process. Good luck!

I hear you! I’m ready to cry. I have been a medical assist for 9 years with no way to make more money. I went back to school and took 20 units of professional office classes. Excel, PP, typing , Bus English, math. Did great made honor roll and I have been on the computer everyday day for hours applying since May. I have applied to 26 jobs at SDSU and finally hired me! At 20.00😢 I just turned 60 and can’t even afford to work for them. I’m beyond frustrated. Anyone have a solution to be more hirab
