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. Military members must attend when they are within 24 (retirees) or 12 (separatees) months from discharge. Spouses are encouraged and welcome to attend. See your Command Career Counselor (CCC) to complete Initial Counseling and start your eForm 2648, Pre-separation Counseling checklist. Your CCC should then contact the regional scheduling office to reserve your seat in one of our classes. 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.
