I’m afraid, please help

So, I live in Tucson,AZ. I recently got out of the military and had my resume professionally done. I’ve also bought some semi-expensive business casual clothing. For the last two months I have applied to over 200 jobs and haven’t gotten a call back. I’m on the verge of going homeless. Can someone give me any tips? Thank you for your response in advance.

What did you do in the military and, super important, what do you want to do now?

Seem like there a lack of respect for veterans. The Unemployment service should have a lists of jobs for you all.Try a local temp service. God will bless you soon. Don't give up.Also see if there's a committee action center in your town .Keep the faith.

I believe if you call the VA, they have companies out there that help place military veterans. Some of my ex's used this program to secure employment after they got out.

Ever considering a federal job?? Look into Homeland security, U.S. post office, U.S customs or just a security guard for a big company.

Just getting out of the military should have people seeking you out. Law enforcement, paramedics, security company. You get no benefits from military for your time you dedicated to military? You must!! Personally I think getting jobs by way of the Internet is not gonna work. And we just gave criminals........ oh someone said it’s the shadow government . Don’t know if that’s true but criminals maybe, all our updated info and I hope I didn’t give my SS#. Yikes! All bad. With your experience and training, forget the internet and find in your city a good security company. Of better yet. Advertise yourself as a discrete bodyguard. Go to school and the government will pay you for education. There’s no reason to be homeless with your benefits and military training. You’re over reacting or making this up. The homeless part I think did it. Now if you were a wounded vet in the 60’s-70’s and said that I’d believe it. But we have gained much more respect since then and benefits. And we should.
