Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Human Resources Assistants, Except Payroll and Timekeeping

Administering personnel actions and explaining benefits and entitlements transfers directly to employee records, benefits support, and personnel-policy assistance.

How to prepare: Build a fictional employee-records exercise covering a transfer, a promotion, and a benefits inquiry to practice civilian HR documentation.

What the civilian work involves
  • Process, verify, and maintain personnel related documentation, including staffing, recruitment, training, grievances, performance evaluations, classifications, and employee leaves of absence.
  • Explain company personnel policies, benefits, and procedures to employees or job applicants.
  • Provide assistance in administering employee benefit programs and worker's compensation plans.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel
  • Microsoft Word

Human Resources Specialists

Applying personnel policy, advising commanders and Airmen, and administering assignments, promotions, separations, and personnel systems aligns with HR policy interpretation and employment-record administration.

How to prepare: Complete a civilian HR fundamentals course covering EEO, ADA, and employment-record practices to bridge military personnel policy to civilian employment rules. Specialists typically need a bachelor's degree in human resources, business, communications, or a related field, and some positions require relevant work experience.

What the civilian work involves
  • Interpret and explain human resources policies, procedures, laws, standards, or regulations.
  • Maintain current knowledge of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) and affirmative action guidelines and laws, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
  • Prepare or maintain employment records related to events, such as hiring, termination, leaves, transfers, or promotions, using human resources management system software.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel
  • Workday software
