On the Job for You
Veterans face many
challenges seeking
civilian employment,
but MOAA is working
to ease the way.
By Deborah Huso
ith the global economy still sluggish,
it’s more important
than ever for retiring military personnel
to plan ahead if they’re
going to be seeking civilian employment in the near
future. According to the U.S.
Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, at the
close of 2010, the unemployment rate
for all veterans was 8.3 percent. Gulf
War-era I veterans (those who served
between August 1990 and August
2001) had a reported unemployment
rate of 5.4 percent. Given that the national unemployment rate at the close
of 2010 was 9.4 percent, it seems U.S.
veterans are doing well in the civilian
labor force — sometimes better than
their civilian counterparts.
“Overall, veterans are holding their
own,” says Col. Dick Crampton, USAphotos: left and cover, shutterstock
Ret., director of MOAA’s TOPS transition services. “Our major concern,
however, is the young (18- to 24-yearold) Gulf War-era II veterans — those
who have served since September
2001 — whose unemployment rate
was significantly higher than the national rate.” According to the Bureau
of Census’ Current Population Survey,
in March, the unemployment rate for
this group was more than 28 percent,
compared to 16.1 percent for nonveterans of the same age.
While there have been plenty
of concerns about young combat
veterans unable to find jobs when
they come home from war, Col. Bob
Norton, USA-Ret., a deputy director
of Government Relations at MOAA,
says the higher rates of unemployment for those young veterans reflect,
in part, the expanded educational
opportunities offered by the Post9/11 GI Bill. “The new GI bill not

only pays full in-state tuition but
also provides a housing allowance,”
Norton explains. That means a number of veterans are staying out of the
job market for now and continuing
their education instead of trying to
find jobs in a tough economic climate.

That doesn’t mean retiring veterans
have an easy time transitioning into
the civilian employment world. Civilian employers sometimes struggle to
understand how military service can
translate into the private sector.
“The number of Americans who
have served in the military is less than
0.5 percent,” says Crampton. “So many
employers, while very patriotic, don’t
have a full appreciation of what servicemembers bring to the table. They
don’t recognize that many occupations in the military are very transferrable to the civilian sector.”
Norton says another challenge
many retiring servicemembers face is
the move from “a highly structured,
stratified culture with a clear set of
rules, regulations, expectations, and
performance evaluations” to the
general U.S. marketplace, where an
employee often acts as an individual
instead of part of a team. Those who
have spent their lives in the military
have not had the experiences of interviewing for jobs, writing résumés, and
negotiating salaries. Even so, Norton
thinks servicemembers are among the
most highly qualified employee candidates. “The armed forces take only
one out of every 10 young recruitable
Americans into service,” he says.
Retired Marine Corps Lt. Col. Ray
Decker, assistant director, Veterans
Services at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), says he
thinks many young men and women
have difficulty translating military
skills into a civilian context. He advises those transitioning into civilian
careers to think about their military

experience in more general terms,
like having the ability to follow processes, maintain attention to detail,
and exercise leadership.
Crampton points to aviation, acquisitions, engineering, finance, information technology, law, maintenance,
management, and medicine as military
fields that readily can be transferred
into civilian employment. But he notes
it’s not quite so easy to explain to a potential employer the relevance of work
as an infantry soldier, a pilot, a tanker,
or a sailor. Crampton says veterans
from these fields need to make sure
to effectively communicate their skills
in multitasking, working under pressure, and using personal and communication skills to organize others and
reduce conflict.
“People look at an infantryman and
think he takes a gun and kills people —
Col. Mark Wasserman served in the Air Force for 27
years, retiring in February 2007. He then became an
owner and operator of a Chick-fil-A restaurant in San
Antonio. He has 48 employees working for him and is
responsible for all aspects of the operation, including
marketing, day-to-day activities, and mentoring his
leadership team.
Wasserman says his transition into the private
sector was easy because working for Chick-fil-A has
similarities to serving in the military. “In the military,
we are so much about building relationships and teamwork and coaching,”
he says. “And that’s what we’re all about at Chick-fil-A .”
His advice for other servicemembers transitioning out of the military:
“Don’t do a desperate job search. It will [create] turmoil in your life.” He
also says spouses need to communicate with each other. “Don’t make
assumptions, because it’s a critical time,” he says. Finally, he adds servicemembers need to know there are matches out there for everyone.
“Most people won't transition right to the CEO, so understand that even
though you’re very talented, you’re going to have to earn your keep, so
don’t get frustrated in the initial transition.”
Resources for Federal Job Seekers
In 2009, President Obama signed Executive Order
13518, Employment of Veterans in the Federal Government, to establish the Veterans Employment
Initiative. A large part of that initiative was the creation of www.fedshirevets.gov, a website devoted to
providing career-transition information to veterans,
retiring servicemembers, and military spouses.

The site provides information on veterans’ preference, Office of Personnel Management hiring
events, the federal hiring process, and finding the
education and training you need to transition into
the civilian sector. You also can search for federal
jobs by agency, field, or occupation at www.usa
jobs.gov.

F
and he does,” says Crampton, “but he’s
also using a lot of planning and personal skills, often managing conflict
resolution and personal relationships
in hostile situations.”
How MOAA can help
The reality is finding employment
right now isn’t easy for anyone, veter-
an or otherwise. But MOAA’s careertransition services can help.
According to Crampton, TOPS offers about 150 lectures a year across
the country on how to market oneself
for a second career. In 2010, TOPS
brought these lectures to 33 states,
and over 50 percent of those who
attended were NCOs and enlisted
personnel. MOAA also holds two
large career fairs every year, as well
as eight smaller ones. Among the
employers who have attended are
3M, Allstate Insurance, Amazon, the
CIA, IBM, Lockheed Martin Corp.,
and Northrop Grumman. Career fairs
are open to all servicemembers and
their spouses. In 2010, more than 60
percent of career fair attendees were
NCOs and enlisted personnel.
Crampton says the career fairs
are an ideal place to meet a future
employer. “Employers recognize
MOAA’s career fairs have a higher
number of officers,” he explains.
“They know a lot of the men and
women they see are going to have
degrees, leadership and staff experience, and security clearances.”
The group that has the toughest
time transitioning to civilian employment, says Crampton, are those junior
and enlisted servicemembers who are
leaving active service in their 20s. His
most pressing piece of advice? “Don’t
wait until the last minute: Start working on your career transition at least
a year out, and take advantage of all
veterans’ employment and training
services available to you after leaving
the service.”
Crampton also advises all servicemembers to take full advantage of all
the services available, including transition assistance programs offered on
bases. “There are a lot of resources,”
he says. “They’re just not all synchronized.” But MOAA is working to
change that.
With the establishment of the
Veterans Employment Initiative in
2009, MOAA became one of several
veterans’ associations to join a coalition with OPM to offer greater
synchronization of career-transition
services for retiring servicemembers. Decker says the coalition
meets once every four months to
talk about career issues facing veterans, recent updates on the federal
job front, and how to improve communication among veterans’ groups.
MOAA also keeps members posted
on employers specifically interested
Lisa Johnson is a work and family life consultant at Warfighter & Family Services,
Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, Washington, D.C., and wife of retired Navy CWO4
Greg Johnson. During her husband’s Navy career, they moved seven times, causing
her to find a new job with each move.
Johnson has a degree in parks and recreation management and during college
interned with the U.S. Navy doing recreation programming in Naples, Italy, opening
the door to other jobs with the Navy. When she first married her husband, she found
finding a job to be fairly easy. “I like to travel, I like to move, so for me in the field I
chose, it was great because for the most part it was easy to find jobs.”
However, Johnson’s career focus changed when the couple moved to Guam.
“When you move as a spouse, you’re only there for a short time and you have to take
whatever job is there, so when I got to Guam, someone mentioned fleet and family support. It was a different topic
than parks and recreation management but had similar [responsibilities].” She became hooked. As a work and
family life consultant, she provides one-on-one consultations and facilitates workshops and seminars for servicemembers and their families, including the transition assistance program and Hearts Apart Deployment Support.
Johnson says her experiences as a military spouse have helped her in her career — especially being adaptable. “I’ve learned to go with the flow and start the process early.” She advises other spouses looking for jobs to
start looking before going to their new duty station. “Contact local programs, and look ahead of time at their job
postings. Get a plan together —and a backup plan — and work on your education,” she says.

A Digital Gateway Home
The transition to civilian life can be overwhelming for
servicemembers and their families. However, one nonprofit has set its sights on making that transition a little
easier. Since its public launch in March 2010, Warrior
Gateway.org — a website aggregator supported by the
Business Executives for National Security, a nonprofit
based in Washington, D.C. — offers the military community a resource that sheds light on many of the challenges that come with a new chapter in life.
Whether it’s tracking down a local veterans’ association, gaining education, or finding affordable
housing and health care, Warrior Gateway Executive
Director Devin Holmes says, “We're here to answer
the questions for military people who are coming
back to civilian life.” He adds, “The goal was to bring
transparency to the hundreds of thousands of public
photo: petty officer 3rd class brian goodwin, usn/dod
and private companies and organizations out there
to help military people.”
The site isn’t completely centered on helping those
transitioning out of the military; it's just as applicable
to active duty servicemembers who are transferring to
new assignments. Elizabeth Steinke, a Navy wife for 23
years and, more recently, a Navy mom, says she has
plans to use this resource in all of her future moves.
The Steinke family has used Warrior Gateway in other
ways, too. After taking in a wounded Marine suffering
from PTSD, they needed a resource to help the veteran.
“We've used Warrior Gateway to help him get involved
with the local [veteran] center,” Steinke says. “For us,
it's the one place where you can go and get all the info a
[veteran] needs.”

in recruiting veterans. One example
is Deutsche Bank’s Veterans on Wall
Street initiative (www.veteranson
wallstreet.com), which helps recruit,
train, and retain veterans for jobs in
the financial sector. Retiring service-
members also can take advantage of
the services offered by the Employer
Partnership of the Armed Forces
(www.employerpartnership.org),
which connects veterans with employers interested in hiring former
servicemembers. Those employers
include almost all of the nation’s Fortune 500 companies. For those wondering how to translate their military
skills into civilian employment terms,
American Corporate Partners (www
.acp-usa.org) helps connect recently
retired veterans as well as spouses
of servicemembers killed or severely
wounded in action with professionals in corporate America who provide
up to a year of career mentoring and
counseling services.

Norton advises MOAA members
to take advantage of the numerous
resources available to them. “One
of the things we do with TOPS is
provide all kinds of tools and advice,” he reminds members, noting
the organization has the advantage
of connections and networks with
employers all over the country.
While MOAA might not be able to
hand you the perfect job when you
retire, it might be able to provide
you the perfect career connection.

Maj. Rory Meehan served in the Marine Corps for nearly 30 years, retiring in 2007.
Now, he is a senior naval science instructor for the Naval Junior ROTC at Cherokee
High School in Marlton, N.J. Though his background was in aviation logistics, Meehan
said he got the teaching “bug” after instructing an electronics class in the mid-1980s
in Millington, Tenn. As he approached retirement, Meehan got a certification in acquisition logistics but said his heart wasn’t in it, so he then got a certification in Junior
ROTC. To prepare for his career transition, he put on a suit and went on a “practice”
interview for a JROTC instructor position at Sterling High School in Somerdale, N.J.
He got the job and retired from the Marine Corps 30 days later. “In the Marine Corps,
I had a lot of small-unit leadership [experience], and it’s very similar to leading in the
high school setting,” he says.
Meehan recommends retiring servicemembers start early in preparing for the transition. “I prepared at least two years prior. I made a book with different sections; I used MOAA’s [web]site; I did
a lot of research and a lot of reading.”
He says the most important thing to remember is, “Follow your dreams. This is the chance you get to do
something you always have wanted to do.”

Former Air Force Capt. Cindy A. Nieves is an area manager at Amazon’s fulfillment center in
Phoenix, Ariz., where she is responsible for the management, control, and direction of inventory, picking, packing, and shipping functions for one aspect of the facility.
Nieves is a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., and served
six years on active duty. She was stationed at maintenance training bases for the majority of
her active duty service, including four years at Luke AFB, Ariz. Her path to Amazon started
after talking to a non-Amazon recruiter who mentioned Amazon was looking for managers
in Phoenix. Nieves looked online and found an open position. “I read the job description and
felt it had my name written all over it,” she says.
Nieves says her role in the military easily translated to her current role. “As a military officer, my job was to inspire, motivate, and lead my airmen to success. In my perspective, my job [as an area manager] is to inspire, motivate, and lead my associates to achieve their individual development goals as well as the overall goals of the facility.”
She recommends other transitioning servicemembers do “research, research, and more research. The first
question you need to answer is ‘what do I want to do, and what company do I want to work for?’ ” She says
servicemembers understand the importance of a mission, goals, and a vision, so understanding the type of organization you want to work for is key to a successful transition. “Do not get discouraged if you do not land the
first job you apply for,” she says. “It’s a long process, so start early, be patient, and don’t lose sight of your goal
to get the right job for you.”
From Military
Service to
Public Office
For some retiring servicemembers, the leadership skills that made
them successful in the military seem
to lead in one direction — public office. After all, veterans possess many
qualities of successful public officials:
leadership experience in the face of adversity, familiarity with a broad cross
section of American society, and an
understanding of the human consequences of foreign-policy decisions.
The road to public office can be
tough, but Veterans Campaign, a nonpartisan organization, can help — by
training veterans to run for office.
“Our mission is to provide military veterans with the training necessary to campaign for all levels of
elected office,” say Seth McCormick Lynn, founder and executive director Veterans Campaign.
Veterans also face distinctive obstacles in elected politics, Lynn says. Especially in the past three national
elections, few nonincumbent veterans have been elected. Veterans Campaign’s goal is to demystify the process of running for office and make it accessible to veterans who are interested in continuing their service
as elected officials.
