| The time eventually comes for everyone
who serves in uniform to take “the next step.” The transition from military
service to civilian employment can be a time of anxiety because it requires
knowledge and skills not typically required while on active duty. Fortunately,
there is a trusted source you can turn to: MOAA’s Career Transition Center.
What does the Transition Center offer?
A number of comprehensive presentations, tools and events specifically
designed to increase your knowledge and preparedness. The Marketing Yourself
for a Second Career presentation shows how to develop self-marking techniques,
including LinkedIn strategies, effective interview skills, building a resume,
and negotiating salary and benefits.
We also offer valuable benefits and financial
advice for every stage of your career and life. MOAA’s presentation on
the Post-9/11 GI Bill highlights key elements of this widely-used benefit
as well as the latest changes to policies and the law. Evaluating Employee
Benefits will teach you how to understand and prioritize military and civilian
benefits for personal and career transitions.
The MOAA Transition Center regularly provides
career transition webinars to complement the above offerings that are open
to the extended military community. MOAA sponsors a series of both
live and virtual career fairs for real time networking opportunities. The
Transition Center also holds various events designed to facilitate professional
networking and get you in the loop---a critical step since an estimated
75% of employer hires occur through networking.
Finally, the Military Executive Transition
(MET) seminar is a one day deep dive for senior leaders in transition that
focuses on culture shift, self-marketing, salary negotiation, working with
recruiters, and optimizing your efforts for career success. For more information
