CAREER TRANSITION CONSULTING

Independent career transition consultants can complement and supplement the free governmental resources available to veterans and their spouses with:

• One-on-one guidance: Helping veterans assess their skills and interests, identify career goals, and develop a plan to achieve those goals.

• Access to specialized knowledge: Educating veterans to translate their military skills and experience into civilian terms.

• Networking: Assisting veterans to connect with potential employers.

• Advocacy: Contacting potential employers to explain the unique skills and experiences that veterans bring to the table.

Here are some additional ways that an independent career transition consultant can uniquely support veterans:

• Help veterans to identify and overcome barriers to employment.

• Help veterans to develop a resume and cover letter that highlights their transferable skills and experience.

• Provide mock interviews to help veterans practice their interviewing skills.

• Provide guidance on salary negotiation.

• Offer ongoing support and encouragement throughout the transition process.

• If you are a veteran who is seeking to transition to a civilian career, an independent career transition consultant can be a valuable resource. They can help you to assess your skills and interests, identify career goals, develop a plan to achieve those goals, and overcome any barriers to employment.
