Pursue the Job You Want

November 10, 2008

After seven years with the Army, and three combat tours, it was time to call it quits. My second job interview was with a forman who was the same MOS as me in the Army.

My interview was as comfortable as two, old Cav troopers shooting the breeze in the barracks. The best advice I can give is, find the job that you would like and pursue that job. Get your resume polished up at ACAP and don't BS any on it. Most foremen understand your new to the real world. Lastly, relax there is no UCMJ actions for screwing up an interview.
