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.

Office Clerk (Security Program Support)

Assisting the Activity Security Manager with Command Security Program administration transfers to clerical support within a civilian security office.

How to prepare: Practice maintaining a filing index and updating a sample administrative tracking spreadsheet for clerical support applications.

What the civilian work involves
  • Maintain and update filing, inventory, mailing, and database systems, either manually or using a computer.
  • Compile, copy, sort, and file records of office activities, business transactions, and other activities.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel
  • Microsoft Word
