But what if your favorite airline doesn't call? My number one choice of airline didn't call me until over a year after I separated. I took a job with a lower tier choice at separation and think I'm now better off there for multiple reasons. I'm glad I had a job when I separated.
Also, I get choosing based on locations, but culture? How can you evaluate that without actually working there? These forums aren't too reliable for that.
