Helpful Hints

• Participate as soon as you're eligible in all available job placement programs.

• Be proactive.  Continue to apply for jobs on your own even if you've registered in these programs.

• Don't put restrictions on your mobility.  If you're willing to move, you'll have more job opportunities and a much better chance of being placed.

• Don't limit your search.  Include non-DoD Federal agencies, private industry, and state and local government.

• Make sure you list ALL of your skills and work experience on your job application or resume.

• Respond promptly to requests for additional information.

• Be ready to consider job offers seriously and respond quickly.  This means keeping your family involved in the process, too.

• Keep your registration data current, and let the HRO know where and how you can be reached.
