My only Advice is to be weary of those Headhunters. Remember that you are their product so it has to be a win win situation between you and the headhunter for them to endorse you to the corporate company that may have eyes on you. The Headhunter would be the easy way out since all you have to do is choose while they do most of the work for you. I recommend that you at least try the traditional methods of finding a job on your own. The best way being networking. Thats the name of the game because its who you know that gets you the job. I tried headhunters and all they wanted to sell me was shiftwork type jobs in manufacturing America. So, take the time to see as many types of jobs you'd like to see. Unless you know exactly what you want to do, you'll be amazed at where you might land. Get the latest issue of "What Color is your Parachute" It has all you'll need to find a job.
Finally, remember not to sell yourself short. We didn't spend all this time in the Navy for nothing. Take advantage of that good o'l boy network and knock that ring. Good Luck!
