Military transitioning to the civilian world. You need to know a lot of things to make this
transition so start by using the transition services available to you on base at your
current reserve unit. Use those services, they will help you to develop a plan for your
transition that is an effective plan. Too many military people do not really come out
with a great understanding of what their next steps are. Your transition services can really
help you make that plan.
What do you want to do? What’s the skills or the attribute you already have that you
are great? What else you might need.
You also should consider the training that you received in the military. Take advantage
of the service to have that training translated into civilian terms. That will not only help
you in your job search, but it will also help you to write a better a resume, to look at
career options that you might not directly have thought about.
In terms of your success, the most important things that you can do are to start by really
learning everything that’s available to you through your transition service, through
military or army one source, and to use those to really learn what options in this civilian
world do you want to pursue, and how can you most effectively do that.
