The Tampa Bay area has a never ending list of defense contractors offering jobs to veterans with zero experience needed. Assembly is a great place to start for many reasons. These companies traditionally start 20-22$ an hour and have the best benefits of any American company. 30days PTO a year vacation, sick days, full heath dental and vision, guaranteed overtime, these are just the beginning. I'd highly recommend any vet getting out or long out think about this. It's easy to move up and the certs required to get better pay are easily obtained.

For an easy way to get started, companies like Honeywell, Raytheon, and Lockheed Martin all hire using outside staffing agencies. Fishing around LinkedIn using key words and terms in your resume related to manufacturing will trigger these companies to reach out to you if you have "looking for work" setting activated.
