I separated from active duty back in June '07 under the hopes that my experience and training would give me a strong resume and a good chance at getting a quality, professional job. Yet, for some reason, I couldn't get a response to save my life and I eventually ended up going to a veterans job fair to get a job as a general warehouse worker at a local shipping supplies company. This wouldn't be such an issue at the moment, however I developed a herniated disc in my L5-S1 at some point during my active duty stint. This has slowly digressed into a severe herniation which causes serious pain on a daily basis, particularly at work where I'm on my feet the entire day. Throw in the fact that the VA denied me any disability compensation, and my new 8-a-day vicodin habit, and I have myself in a fucked up situation. (I know, I know...
)
Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone out there has had some similar experiences or at least a few tips for my resume that can convey to these employers what SF soldiers are capable of. Anything will help at this point, as I'm at my wits end at this point and strongly considering going under the surgeons knife to fix my back.
Looking forward to any responses! Thanks fellas.
