Awhile back while I was on convalescent leave I posted about looking for a job. Rick suggested usajobs.com and while searching I also found indeed.com. I went on line and submitted a resume for a particular job here at Ft. Sill. 45 minutes after submitting my resume the phone rings and it's the company I just applied for. They asked me to come in for an interview the next day. I agreed but let them know that I wouldn't be available until my transition leave starts on the 23 of Nov. I told the young lady to check with the boss to see if that would be an issue as I didn't want to waste my time or theirs. She came back to the phone and said that she regretted telling me that it would be a problem. I told her that it was fine and that I would continue to check their job postings a little closer to my availability date. I hang up the phone and low and behold the phone rings again ten minutes later. Same lady, same corporation saying that they still wanted me to come in afterall. Went to the interview the next day and was offered the job on the spot. I've accepted the job, but just yesterday got a call from Northrop Grumman to interview for a postition in theire Electronic Warfare division (the job that I've been hoping for). They sent me a Govt. work history report and a application to fill out and told me that they will call to schedule an interview by weeks end. I haven't even taken my uniform off yet and already have a job lined up with other corporations still calling. My wife and I have been praying and it seems to be working. Thanks Rick!!!!
Congratulations Brad! Transitioning back to the civilian world is tough since you haven't had to look for a job in 20+ years. It sure feels nice when you have a job waiting for you!
