Hey, Bob, do you mind if I jump on the looking for a job bandwagon?
Since I'm not having much luck in the private sector, I decided to look more closely on the government side. Department of the Navy has several job openings for my line of work (Environmental Protection Specialist) so I'm placing together an application packet. I found out that being a veteran has several employment backdoors that I can utilize.
The city of Los Angeles has a paid internship job progam on-going for veterans. It's like a temp-job, but you have the oppurtunity to compete for City/county jobs when it does open. The good news is no experience required. I sen an application last week. They said it'll take 4-6 weeks to get back to me.
I started volunteer work for the Veterans Administration Hospital this winter. I'm helping one of the counselors in the Veterans Rehabilitation Program/employment. He's been most helpful. I'm going to see if I can branch out to the environmental side of the hospital. At least I can place that as experience on the resume.
Also the Air Quality Managment District just opened the door for hiring. I'll have to place a packet also.
