Turn your Military Experience into a New Job
Once your tour of duty has ended many soldiers are left with challenges finding suitable employment in civilian life. Unfortunately many leave behind the experiences gained in the last several years to go into unskilled jobs. Luckily there is a way to turn your military experience into a great job. Use that experience to ace a certification or license examine.
Depending on your placement in the armed forces, the skills you learned may be highly valuable in the civilian world. In some states a number of skills require a license to practice, but having worked in a given field throughout your time in the service the licensing process will be a breeze. For instance, if you worked as a nurse or aircraft engineer, you can pass a certification and start a highly lucrative career doing what you did in the armed forces for a private company.
Most other skills can be certified by a school or private certification organization. For instance, if you were in communications or medical supplies there are a number of certifications to prove you have what it takes to do that job as a civilian.
Before giving up and getting an entry level job, take a look at www.cool.army.mil/ the army’s website for matching your military occupational specialty with a civilian job. It will also point you to specific certificates, licenses, or continued education that will lead you to a successful career as a civilian.
