Military Executive Transition Seminar: This one-day at-cost workshop for MOAA Premium members (Life members receive a discount) covers a range of topics including: separating from military life and culture; developing a deliberate job-search strategy; evaluating job offers; negotiating pay and benefits; and achieving early wins in a new job. It also includes the opportunity to network with an experienced retained recruiter and a panel of military officers now working in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. Follow-on benefits include personalized career- transition consulting, financial planning with a MOAA consultant, and video interview critiques.
Career Consultation and Résumé Critiques: Get a jump-start on the competition and have your résumé professionally critiqued and receive Linke- dIn profile-development assistance.
