transitioned from Active Duty and are currently attending school full-time, you’re
not alone. More than a half a million student veterans belong to the Student
Veterans of America (SVA), not to mention the veteran students who
don’t join. Regardless of how long you have until graduation, it's
never too early to begin thinking about the type of career you’d like.
For many veterans,
finding that right career and putting your hard-earned degree to work means
working with a military recruiting firm like Orion. Contacting Orion prior to
graduation is a great way to get a crash course in building your resume and interviewing

veterans may want to research what, if any, Veterans Services their colleges
offer. Many colleges offer some sort of
assistance to veterans as they pursue their higher education and prepare to
graduate, including career planning. For instance, the University of South Florida
has the Office of Veteran Success, which provides
specialized programs and services to over 2,000 veterans, eligible dependents,
active duty service members, and members of the Selected Reserve on campus.
Among their services are employment information sessions to connect veterans
with employers.
