I’m 23 currently in houston and recently finished a 4 year contract in the Airforce as a munitions specialist a few months back. I’ve been applying to tons of jobs with no luck what’s so ever, my resume is definitely solid yet I haven’t been able to land anything meaningful! Is having years of military experience not valuable? If anyone can assist me I’d greatly appreciate it!

Did you utilize TAP before separation? They assist you with sharpening up your resume and applying to jobs. There are even programs that prepare you while you're transitioning out (like SkillBridge) so you can connect with major companies that accept military members. Do a Google search to see if there are job search programs for separated members so they can assist you. They can review your resume, do mock interviews, help you with any extra skills you may need, help with job search, and more!

As a former AMMO troop I can empathize. Depending on how much of a fast-burner you were, I'm guessing you made it to SrA. As stated previously, get your resume fixed and you should be able to find something, appropriate to your education and experience.

Hi, I had finished my technical and managerial round on May 25th and 26th with PWC. The manager did mention that there would be another in-person round in the PWC Bangalore office.

Hiya! I am in the final round of interviews at an EdTech platform for a role that is the bridge between the Customer Support and UX/Product Design teams. I act as that bridge in my current role but on a more informal basis because it is a smaller company.

Would anyone be willing to share their perspective (positive or negative) on the Product/UX end of this relationship? I want to make sure to ask the right questions.
Thank you!

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.
