Before each interview, select items that best pertain to this specific job target. Examples of appropriate items for your Interview Marketing Kit are as follows:

• Job-related samples of your work, if applicable (from your work, education, or training experience)
• Required certificates, licenses, transcripts, or other related documents
• Spare copies of your resume
• Letters of recommendation
• List of references appropriate for the job
• A quick summary of your qualification for the job
• A list of questions you have about the position and the Employer (note: DO NOT ask about salary or benefits at this point. Save those questions for salary negotiations after a job offer is made.) 

Unemployment Insurance is a program that provides financial benefits for eligible unemployed workers to help you meet expenses while looking for a new job. Unemployment benefits replace part of your lost income and are not public assistance. These benefits are a temporary source of income while the unemployed individual is seeking work, or in authorized cases, attending training. Request for benefits can be filed over the phone or online. Benefits are received weekly. In Washington State, the maximum weekly benefit amount is $790. The minimum is $188. No one who is eligible for benefits will receive less than this, regardless of his or her earnings. For additional information please go to the Unemployment Benefits/Washington State website.

Our programs and services focus on providing service members with the information they need for a smooth transition as they prepare to return to civilian life. We offer separate classes for retirees and separatees. Initial Counseling should be completed with your Command Career Counselor (CCC) 365 or more from your date of separation. This will initiate your eForm (DD2648) and Pre-separation Counseling checklist. Pre-Separation Counseling should be completed 365 days or more from your date of separation. This can be done in a classroom setting (offered twice per month at the installation), with your CCC, or with FFSC TAP Staff. Work with your CCC to schedule your TAP Course/s after completion of Initial Counseling and Pre-Separation Counseling; spouses are encouraged and welcome to attend on a space available basis. The Transition Assistance Program is a three-day program with additional two-day tracks, optional or as required, including higher education, entrepreneurship, employment, and career exploration and planning. This training provides greater detail and information in those areas for the transitioning service member. Completion of the Transition Assistance Program is achieved by attending a Capstone appointment with FFSC TAP Staff.
