Advice from Ron Krannich, author of “The Blue-Collar Resume and Job Hunting Guide”:
Craft a résumé
Blue-collar jobs have gone beyond the interview-and-a-handshake days. Many jobs are advertised online, and you’ll need to submit a résumé that emphasizes your relevant skills and experience.
Do your research
Where will that final moving allowance take you? Identify the top employers in the area. Find out what kinds of workers they need.
Hit the military-friendly job fairs
Employers go to the events looking for a range of workers, not just desk-sitters but also those who toil with their hands.
Take an inventory
Prepare a checklist of your specific accomplishments while in uniform. These will be your talking points in the interview.
