One
of the first questions to cross a transitioning veteran's mind is when is the best time to begin their career search. In most cases, the right answer is
approximately 18 months from the date you plan to begin your next career. Based on that
timeline, you can use the following checklist as a guide to ensure you are
doing everything possible to prepare for your transition.
18 – 7 months prior to your separation
date
- Attend a base visit presentation and/or schedule a base visit interview.
- Conduct an initial
phone screen with an Orion Candidate Recruiter to determine initial interests
and establish general target locations. Your recruiter will send you an initial
preparation packet.
- Establish your timeline. Let your recruiter know your planned
Earliest Start Date.
- Begin your professional reading in target areas using our suggested
reading list.
- Subscribe to The Hunter, Orion’s monthly e-newsletter for
military job seekers. You will stay up-to-date on industry trends, articles of
