Military Career to Civilian Job = Career Coach

1) Accept that it will be difficult to make a transition from military to civilian work.

2) Be proactive. If you are still in the military, start thinking about what it is you do well and what it is you don’t do so well.

3) Consider hiring a Career Coach that can give you coaching business advice and career tips. An affective coach who truly wants to help should only be between $30.00 to $45.00 an hour.

4) Ask a Resume Writer to redesign your resume. A good resume writer should cost between $45 an hour to $65.00 an hour.

5) Military life for the most part is a structured life. If you like a structured life, look for large process oriented, government and military type company.

6) If you have more of an artistic approach to life, prepare to brush up skills, get new training, or take lessons of sorts.

7) Learn how to answer behavioral interview questions.

8) Don’t let your pride get the best of you. Recognize when it’s time to ask for help or invest a little bit of money into your career development.

9) For phone interviews, make sure you are energetic and sound happy to the interviewer.

10) Have a balanced approach to being open to a variety of salary requirements.
