Attention veterans! Job searching after the military can be tough, with over 50% leaving their first post-military job within the first year. Instead of solely focusing on salary, zoom out to the bigger picture. Ask yourself: which companies and jobs will provide the most opportunities for growth and career development? Keep your end goals in mind and determine the steps you need to take in order to get there. Remember, not all job offers are created equal. Look past this year when planning your career. #veterans #salary #career #growth #development

Thinking of Coming Back? Join the U.S. Navy Reserve Part-Time! As a Navy Recruiter and someone who has served both full-time and part-time, I’ve witnessed how rewarding it can be for prior service members to return to the Navy through the Reserve. Whether you’re missing the camaraderie, seeking additional income, or looking to contribute your skills while pursuing a civilian career, the Navy Reserve offers a unique opportunity to serve on your terms. If you’re considering the transition, here are five tips to help both you and your recruiter make the process smooth: 1. Gather Your Documentation Have your DD-214 (Member 4 Copy), evaluations, awards, and medical records ready. These documents are critical for assessing your eligibility and ensuring accurate credit for your prior service. 2. Know Your Goals Decide what you want from the Reserve: professional development, education benefits, or simply a way to stay connected to the Navy. Sharing your goals with your recruiter helps us find the right program for you (do your research online). 3. Understand the Process Be aware that transitioning into the Reserve is different from active-duty enlistment. Timelines for processing can vary, so plan accordingly if you’re trying to meet specific dates, such as qualifying for bonuses or benefits like Tricare TAMP. 4. Maintain Physical Fitness Staying within Navy height, weight, and physical readiness standards ensures you’re ready to hit the ground running. If you need help with this, your recruiter can provide resources. 5. Be Open and Honest Share any prior medical issues, legal matters, or other concerns upfront. Recruiters are here to help you navigate challenges and find solutions, not to disqualify you. 🇺🇸 Returning to serve part-time in the Navy Reserve isn’t just about wearing the uniform again—it’s about finding purpose, creating new opportunities, and continuing to make a difference. If you’re ready to take the next step, reach out to a Navy Reserve Recruiter today. Let’s get you back where you belong: in the Fleet! What’s your motivation to come back?

Five Pieces of Civilian Career Advice for the Veteran 1. Remember why you separated or retired. Most #veterans departed the military prior to having to. You did it for a reason. Don't forget that. Be mindful of getting amnesia and feeling regret. 2. It is easy to be all good when it is all good. But shit will hit the fan during your #militarytransition so decide now to not get knocked down by it. I'm not telling you to be positive...because that is bullshit advice. But I am telling you that you have to believe that "it" is possible (whatever it is to you). At Vets2PM, we refer to this as HOPE! 3. You are a highly skilled, trained, and educated military specialist. Yes, your skills are transferrable but they'll have to be tweaked in order to truly serve a purpose outside of the military. There will be a learning curve. You will not be as good as you used to be. You will falter. You will feel inadequate. It is part of the process. 4. Civilians didn't sleep while you served. They served too...just in a different capacity. Civilians are trained, educated, and servant leaders. The difference is they don't agree to die for their company like we do. However, that is truly the only difference. They work early, late, weekends, and have no idea how to balance work and life. We are all very similar. 5. You will work with civilians who move every four to six years, they have children who have been to 8 different schools, and spouses who can't find stable work...just like military families. These aren't just our struggles. Bonus: Find your vision of success. Define it! Make sure nothing is holding you back. After all, it is your definition.
