The ACAP center also has many programs that prepare a client for interviews with potential employ- ers. The counselors teach different interviewing tech- niques for one-on-one interviews, group interviews and meal interviews. There is also an interactive computer program that records the client’s responses to a mock interview using a video camera and micro- phone. After the clients have completed the mock interview, the video is played back in order for them to see what their strengths and weaknesses are during an interview. “We teach clients how market them- selves,” said Barnson, “We teach them the tools they need to find a job.” Although this kind of counseling and training service could cost thousands of dollars from com- mercial agencies, it’s free through the ACAP center, said Barnson. If the client has not found a job once separated from the Army, they still have free resources available from ACAP six months after full- filling their military obligation. The success of the ACAP has not only brought many jobs to ex-military personnel, but it has also contributed in the decline of unemployment insur- ance paid to those without jobs.
