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.

Shipping, Receiving, and Inventory Clerks

LSS experience receiving, inspecting, inventorying, stowing, and shipping material directly overlaps with civilian shipment verification and inventory recordkeeping.

How to prepare: Practice reconciling a sample shipment against its order and invoice, recording discrepancies and preparing the shipping documentation.

What the civilian work involves
  • Examine shipment contents and compare with records, such as manifests, invoices, or orders, to verify accuracy.
  • Prepare documents, such as work orders, bills of lading, or shipping orders, to route materials.
  • Record shipment data, such as weight, charges, space availability, damages, or discrepancies, for reporting, accounting, or recordkeeping purposes.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel
  • SAP software

Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks

Preparing, maintaining, and auditing financial accounts and records gives LSS personnel directly relevant experience for checking accounting entries and supporting accurate financial records.

What the civilian work involves
  • Operate computers programmed with accounting software to record, store, and analyze information.
