Job/Internships Links
From Transitioning Veteran Wiki
These Links come from other websites which I combined on here since I feel they hold a great amount of information for any Veteran transitioning into the civilian sector. You will find sites that have information on employment rights for a Veteran, choosing a career, job banks and how to prepare yourself to acquire a job.
