Abstract
The author encountered job ready veterans who did not know how to conduct a job search in the private sector. The lack of a systematic job-search training program led to the development of this guide. It focuses on skills, informational interviewing and networking with an emphasis on a full-time organized job search campaign. The primary sources are peer-reviewed Journal articles, and the writings of various authors who have worked in the career counseling/job search arenas and have decades of experience assisting, coaching, and advising individuals in their job search efforts. The resulting guide lays the foundational groundwork to improve the job search efforts of veterans with service-connected disabilities in Sacramento, California.
