Question: In the Army, I worked as a small arms repairer, mostly fixing field artillery. My separation date is approaching, and I’m interested in working in the information technology field. How can I start a career in IT when my experience isn’t related?
Answer: For many of you exiting the military, your jobs while in uniform will not transfer directly to civilian careers. What’s most important for you if you’ll be making a shift in focus and work is to show how your past relates to your present and offers future potential.
