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 Specialists

Professional recruiting experience and responsibility for recruiting effectiveness transfer directly to recruitment-focused human resources work.

How to prepare: Complete a civilian hiring-practices course covering Equal Employment Opportunity guidelines and the Americans with Disabilities Act before targeting recruitment-focused positions.

What the civilian work involves
  • Hire employees and process hiring-related paperwork.
  • 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).
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel
  • Workday software
