Military Transitioning to Civilian Workforce

When a member of the military looks for work in the civilian workforce, he or she has a lot to consider - and a lot to learn. It doesn't matter if the time spent in the service was 4 years or twenty, finding a job is difficult.

There are many options available to former service members and benefits that only those with general or honorable discharges may be privy to.
