Military training is extensive and helps develop a wide set of skills that can give servicemen a great advantage once they finish their tour of duty. Despite seeing a small drop earlier this year, however, the unemployment rate for veterans still remains at around 6.2%, with the younger generation of vets having higher rates of unemployment. But all hope is not lost, as veterans looking for jobs in Tulsa simply need to translate skills they developed in the military to corresponding skills needed in civilian jobs. Experts also recommend veterans to start planning for civilian life a year before leaving the military. Using social media, veterans can easily browse through job listings and update profiles that can help increase their chances in finding work. Seeking help from agencies like Tulsa-based recruitment firm Barracuda Staffing can also help veterans get quick referrals and work placements, matching their skills with the perfect job.

Be Less PC and Bring More Honesty: The Way to Land Jobs in Tulsa OK
“Honesty is the best policy” is an adage Barracuda Staffing gives to job seekers. With over 900 jobs created this past January, the recruitment agency believes that adhering to the principle is key to land jobs in Tulsa OK. Barracuda Staffing recommends applicants to be honest rather than to be politically correct when giving information about previous work experiences. Admitting to dissatisfaction at a previous job, whether because of low pay, lack of challenges, a poor environment or something of the like, could help prevent the agency from placing job seekers in a similar situation. Finding a job that suits a person's wants and needs can be easy if honesty is put to practice. List information employers need to know and provide professional answers during interviews to be part of Tulsa's economic growth.
