Same story as the others. After leaving active service, I landed my first job through word of mouth and the second by walking in, saying, "Hi, I'm <name>, I think I'm qualified to work here. Mind if I leave a resume?" That alone tells an employer you've got initiative, purpose, basic manners, the ability to click print, and can handle face-to-face interaction without a mommy. That’s already 90% of what they're looking for. Also, if you're IT: get certs even if you have a degree. It's harder to flunk a college class than it is to pass most exams.
