Employment
Veterans seeking employment in Ohio have a number of resources to assist them.
These resources, to include job postings and resume assistance, are detailed below.
As a general rule, whenever looking for a job, be sure to:
- Have a current resume.
- have a cover letter geared toward the type of job being sought.
- present a professional appearance, e.g., suit and tie, dress or skirt/pant suit.
