The Marine's story in this profile is not unusual - he describes the difficulty some of his comrades have had in transitioning. What stood out to me, and what I liked a lot, was his suggestion that returning servicemembers should be given a "welcome home packet" including information on civilian careers. One of the greatest things about working here, and having this little space online, is the ability to be that - there's a welcome home packet called militarystars.com waiting for transitioning military every day! Our site is now staffed 24/7 by Web Greeters to answer questions and provide guidance, and you can find free resources there from resume builders to salary calculators, interview tips to feedback from fellow military job seekers. It is the sincere hope of all of us here that no one ever feels like they're coming home with no career guidance, so please pass it along!
