3 Important tips on transitioning from military to civilian work
Network with other military personnel who have made the transition: They can provide valuable advice and support as you navigate the process of transitioning from military to civilian work. You can also consider joining a military transition group or reaching out to organizations that help military personnel make the transition to civilian life.
Research and tailor your job search: Start by identifying your skills and experience, and how they translate to the civilian job market. Consider taking advantage of resources such as resume writing workshops, career counseling services, and job fairs specifically geared towards military personnel.
Build your civilian network: Making connections in your industry of interest is important for any job search, but it can be especially challenging for military personnel transitioning to civilian work. Consider joining professional organizations, attending industry events, and networking with individuals who are already working in your field of interest. This can help you build relationships and gain insights into potential job opportunities.
