Tips for Transition

#1 

Military transition to civilian employment is a job (project) in itself. Take the time to network and develop relationships with people in the industry or company you are interested. Always thank those you help you. Send a note, email or even better-a card/letter in the mail. 


#2 

When networking, be sure and  be genuine. Think of making a business friend and not just a card with a title. Building long-term business relationships will set off your career in the right direction. Get to know your contacts on a more personal level, if possible. This endeavor is a marathon, not a sprint!


#3

Complete your LinkedIn profile


#4

Stay active on Social Media and in person networking. 


#5

Offer to volunteer for causes you believe in or work your interested in pursuing. 


#6

If you put your name on it or you're the author; always check your spelling and content. Read it aloud or have a friend, with good grammar skills, review your work.
