How many years has it been since you first joined the military? Ten, twenty, more?

For a long time you’ve put aside your personal life. You’ve been there when your team and your country needed you. Now it’s time to move on and transition from military service to civilian life. As you prepare for this change, you may find the choices overwhelming.

Where do you start?

Historically, people who experience the greatest success transitioning out of the service are those who enlist the support of experts. The business world operates very differently today than it did ten years ago. Competition is fierce.

In today’s economy, you won’t get a second look if you fumble an interview or submit a business plan with unclear intentions. Get the support you need with a team of experts committed to helping you achieve your transition goals.

Transition Assistance Program (TAP) classes offer information on veteran’s benefits and basic job hunting skills. However, they don’t provide enough information for a thorough transition. Leaving the military involves much more than simply writing a resume and finding a job. To increase your chances for success, you will need more – more information, more resources, more help. You need a team.

A basic civilian transition team might consist of:

** A professional writer to help with resumes, cover letters or business plans. I know you’ve been told you don’t need to hire a writer. But why struggle? A professional can save you a lot of time and frustration.

** A headhunter or job placement expert to market you to companies looking for people with your skills and experience. They have inside information and access to jobs not advertised to the general public.

** A financial advisor or tax strategist to position you for what lies ahead. One of the biggest shocks during your transition will be your new tax bill.

** A business planning specialist to save you time and money if you plan to start your own business. They can help you avoid the mistakes and pitfalls that new business owners face.

** A Transition Coordinator to work with you to clarify your goals and co-create a strategy for achieving them. They will keep their eye on the big picture, coordinate your team’s efforts, and make sure nothing is overlooked during your transition.
