Default I need a job! Anyone want to help out?

So I am getting out of the Marines after 5 long years. I am getting out in July and I have been putting my resume out there and been looking around. I am an Aviation Electrician. I basically test various electronic systems throughout the AV8B Harrier. I am in Yuma, Arizona right now and would like to maybe stay around Arizona if I could, but for the right job I would relocate. Anyone have anything or know of anything that I could apply for? Thanks for the help.

Look up PHI helicopters. They're based out of Lafayette, LA, but they have med-evac branches all over. They are a great company and could probably use some avi guys.

are you involved in the marines for life program?
if not i would get involved. it is a program setup to get jobs for marines that are getting out.
employers want to hire marines and they have monthly meetings that are great for networking and finding a job.
im sure you can find the website for the program via google

If you're interested www.ge.com, submit your resume electronically for them to look at you for whatever, or look at the jobs list and apply for specific one(s)

If you want to still work on harriers check out NADEP at Cherry Point NC as a civilian contractor. I have a buddy that just got out as an AVI TECH on the 130's and he's starting at 19.00 here at NADEP pretty much doing his same job with alot more money.

Either work as a civilian contractor with the military or you could look up local Air charter companies to see if they have any avionics shops. The place my wife works at has it's own Avionics shop but we're in California in the central valley.

Send me a resume at b_rad8266@yahoo.com. What are you expecting for salary? We run and maintain fight simulators for the military. We are always looking for technicians.

i cant speak for you cause i dont know your situation, but i can say this. make sure you REALLY want to get out. i talk to all of my marines before they get out. sometimes it ends up being for a reason they hadn't really thought through. just be sure, devil.

as far as work, blackwater and wolfpack are hiring servicemembers for contract work. also, have you tried the various airlines' websites? they may be helpful.

See if you can get either part of the Airframe or Powerplant license based on your MOS http://www.carolina-aero.com/airframe/Branches.htm If you want to stay with that type of work I would suggest Boeing or Dyncorp

To get a job these days with that you would pretty much need both of those (I am a class away)

If you like avionics you can work for a avionics repair shop. You don't need your A&P and good pay.
