Countless people are entering completely new career fields right now - they're finding the best fit with their skills and interests but leaving behind years of familiarity and comfort. Sound familiar? Everyone who transitions from the service has always faced this same process, regardless of economic conditions. Many of these tips on starting a new career apply seamlessly to the transition from the military, especially thinking of your skillset in general terms, not industry-specific ones (the industry in this case being the military - when people advise you to remove military acronyms from your resume, this is what they mean). Hope you find it useful - have a great week!

Another good idea is to get civilian training which enhances the skills you've already gained.
The military provides an amazing opportunity to gain skills, however it can be intimidating going from service to civilian status - remember being a civilian going into service?
Villanova University offers online training to enhance those skills and military tuition discounts to make it even easier to transition.
