Are you ready to take the next step along your professional path in 2025? 
 
Whether you are transitioning from uniformed service to the civilian sector, or you're a veteran or military spouse seeking a career move in the new year, you'll need to adopt a civilian mindset rather than a military-focused outlook. Sounds easy, but our lens of the world was ingrained on Day 1 of basic training (or your commission source) and shaped over your time in service. For some of us, that could cover decades!  
 
Join Col. Brian D. Anderson, USAF (Ret), MOAA’s senior director for career transition services, to find out the top 10 things you need to know about changing your frame of reference.  Brian has helped thousands of people like you to navigate the civilian job search and hiring process; he'll lead an informative and engaging conversation on why:

  • You are your own assignment officer, but shouldn’t go it alone.
  • The word "networking" shouldn’t have a negative connotation.
  • The military writing style may work against creating a strong résumé.
  • Even though you didn’t interview for most military assignments, you already possess the interviewing skills you need.
  • Treating everyone at your prospective employer as if they are the hiring manager is critical to landing your next role.
  • You need to understand the civilian salary and benefits negotiations process before you even apply for a job.
  • And more! 


This workshop offers something for everyone, whether you are embarking into the civilian world for the first time or making a career pivot and need a quick refresher. Get the trusted advice and guidance you need from an expert. Register today!
