Transition Tips From ACAP to Big Business

For an in-depth example of what the military and civilian employers are both doing to improve the transition experience, check this out.  From the News-Tribune in Washington state, the article depicts the ACAP process at Ft. Lewis, helped along by one of the founders of the program.  There are outstanding civilian resume tips from a state veterans outreach employee who served (ex: why it helps to think of yourself as a "business operations manager for a 1,500-person company").  Plus, a featured example of a local civilian employer who works with the American Legion; she notes that "federal agencies post 15,000 to 20,000 jobs per day" (and, I'd add, are all about hiring veterans).  Military, state government, and private interests working this seamlessly together may be a rare thing, but the tips that come out of their example are something to share with everyone - and by passing this info on to someone else, you're networking; simple as that!  Hope you find it useful; have a great week!
