Even though America is in an apparent recovery from one of the worst recessions since the Great Depression, some veterans are still struggling to find jobs.

However, there is hope for those who know what resources to use. An excellent resource is H2H (Hero 2 Hire, https://h2h.jobs), an online resource with information on which civilian jobs best match the military backgrounds of veterans. It also provides information on where to find jobs near veterans who qualify.

Another valuable resource is the Department of Veterans Affairs website (www.va.gov). It contains links to job searching resources. A few of the featured opportunities on the website include federal jobs, internships and health related jobs.

A local resource for job hunting is Westover's Airman and Family Readiness Center (www.westoverafrc.org). The staff can assist in building connections and signing veterans up for the Military Spouse Corporate Career Network, which gives 550 different employers access to resumes.
