Rob Lazaro, 28, is preparing for his planned departure from the Army this August by perusing openings on USAJobs.com and Military.com and establishing contact with veterans at employers of interest. With his experience as a public affairs officer, his Internet and networking savvy, and degrees from the University of Texas and Northwestern, he'll likely have his pick of offers.
