Marine SSGT says to me... "You have three choices, 0311(Grunt), Electrician, or Cook, the first one you will be reguardless, the second and third will be decided by some computer somewhere, for you, based on your score on these tests."
Thats how I started...
After I got out, I called all over, and found some guy who used to be in the Navy, who owned a service company, who taught me the ropes.
Truthfully, all employment is based on initial contact, and the relationship starts there. (Honesty really counts, people see right though BS)
Look for companies that need and use a lot of grunt labor. (You'll be doing that type work until you can prove otherwise. And that WILL take time.)
Stop by job-sites. (At lunch) Or, supply houses. It might seem desparate, but the guy on the job will often give up the name of the person (That does the hiring) you need to contact faster than making it through the office. (Where paper is often shuffled into corners.)
