As we approach Veterans Day, many young and older veterans are flocking to career fairs, causing long lines and exhausting hiring managers whose booths are overflowing with candidates.
More veterans stand in line, even though the caliber of jobs and companies represented at the fairs often isn't appealing to this group. These unguided out-of-work men and women don't have a clue how to go about landing on their feet by engineering the right job offer. Still, even senior-level veteran fair attendees are just hoping to make a connection in a marketplace crowded with more people just like them.
Getting ready for the next career transition should be part of your workday schedule today. Be smart about how you approach looking for a new job because you could very easily shoot yourself in the foot by not implementing an effective job hunting strategy.
