I'm considering transitioning out of the military and I'm looking for job placement options. Are there specific job boards or resources that cater to ex-military personnel? Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated!
There are several resources curated specifically for veterans transitioning into civilian careers.
1. Military.com's Veteran Jobs: This platform provides job postings, career advice, job fair information, and more.
2. VetJobs: This is a leading source for candidates with security clearances who seek careers in defense and private spheres.
3. USAJobs.gov: This is the federal government's official employment site, and it includes resources for veterans such as a Feds Hire Vets program.
4. Hire Heroes USA: It pairs transitioning U.S. military members, veterans, and military spouses with federal and private sector jobs.
5. Hiring Our Heroes: A U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation initiative that hosts job fairs across the country and provides a variety of resources for veterans and their families.
6. Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS): This Department of Labor program provides resources for job training and placement.
These platforms prioritize and understand the skills and experiences of ex-military personnel and can help bridge the gap between military and civilian employment. Feel free to explore these resources and see what opportunities align best with your interests and career goals.
