When transitioning to the civilian workplace, play up your military skills, yet be ready to adapt, including budgeting your pay, says this retired naval officer
When veterans retire from the military and transition into civilian life, they can choose a job — or they can choose a career, one former military captain says.
Servicemembers may sway back and forth on retiring from the military, Toti said, in which case they should really consider what lies ahead. “My advice is, if you love what you’re doing on active duty, by all means, keep doing it. But you have to understand you won’t be allowed to do it forever. At some point, you’re going to have to walk away and it is best to walk away on your terms, not on the military’s terms.
And while there are age discrimination laws in place, such bias can still be evident in the workplace and in the hiring process. Job postings could have language that deters older workers from applying, or may ask questions that are discreetly focused on age. Choose a company that invests in you Servicemembers may be able to leverage their military relationships to land a next job, but when considering opportunities, ask yourself which company “is looking to invest in me,” he said. “It is going to take five, six, seven, eight years to really succeed in this new environment,” Toti said. Those previous relationships may “sour,” or no longer apply, so it is important to find a company that looks past them.
They may buy the bigger house, or pay for something they never could afford before, all without being fully settled into their new lifestyles. Nearly half of veterans left their first civilian jobs within their first year of work, according to a report from the Institute for Veterans and Military Families. In the span of two years on the first job, that figure went up to 65%.
