Hi,
Hit every company in your area with your resume in person not by mail. Do not give up.
It may take 100 visits to get 10 bites.
GOOD LUCK.

If you have a current security clearance. Look for jobs requiring a security clearance, there is a lot less competition.

Good luck,

I suggest that you add on to your education.

Get some sort of business degree, a MBA would be the best.

Get you resume profesionally done. Get it in a format that really augments your experiance in the marine core. Try to get some base certifications they hit every company that you can if there looking for help or not. Post your resume on job sites. Eventually you will get some calls just don't mess up on your interview. counts for alot.

In a dog eat dog market you must be able to stand out from the rest of the competion. Entry level certifications such as the CNA, MCP and CCNA are a big boost. While working on finding a job I would recomend starting self study on the above mentioned and try to get certified. There are also bootcamps and some of the local colleges or tech schools offer training in these areas. The books are relatively cheap and easy to come by. Resumes are a dime a dozen and each HR person that looks at them have their own prefrences. There are several good free examples on the net to go by and a professional resume should highlight education as well as accomplishments such as your time in service and the help desk work. My strongest recomendation is to have practice interviews. Do some net research on potential interview questions, print them out and then give the list to a friend to give you a mock interview. First impressions mean a lot. LOL
