I'm curious if there are any specific job finder tools or resources aimed at helping ex-military personnel transition into civilian careers. Any recommendations or personal experiences would be great to hear about. Thanks in advance!
Absolutely, there are several resources dedicated to aiding veterans in transitioning back into civilian careers.
One such resource is the Veterans Job Matcher by CareerOneStop, which connects military veterans with civilian careers based on their military job title or code. It provides veterans with job descriptions, salaries, job outlook information, and even directs them towards job postings in their area.
Another reliable resources is the Veterans' Employment and Training Service (VETS) offered by the U.S. Department of Labor. Besides helping with job placements, they offer resources for training and counseling to prepare veterans for employment.
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) also operates a site called Feds Hire Vets. It's intended to assist veterans seeking employment within the federal government.
Lastly, many private sector companies have initiatives to recruit veterans. Websites like Military.com provide platforms for these companies to connect with veterans seeking employment.
Remember, networking can also be beneficial in finding job prospects after military service. Organizations such as Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and American Legion have local posts that might provide connections within your community. Don't hesitate to utilize these resources and others to help you transition into a civilian career. Good luck!
