I've heard that a number of Federal agencies, among them the State Department and the CIA, actively recruit young former officers for positions.
Is this true?
Is this true?
Yes, mainly because military members have 2 big things:
1. Security clearance.
~~~Security clearance cost over 10K and last for 5 yrs. Military members for the most part will have had some level of security clearance.
2. Job lifestyle
~~~They have lived the lifestyle in the military compared to a corporate applicant. They have a better understanding of the system than someone who worked for HP.
Now that being said, they are like the military, if at this time you are thinking 5-9 yrs in advance to jump over to the Fed after diving from the military, AND that is your only reason to go military you are taking a big gamble.
The military has done stop loss; in other words they can stop you from leaving.
The Fed jobs aren't always hiring.
I understand thinking about the future, but this question is better left to when you are "short" in the AD world.
Nobody can predict the future.
I just had my first day of Transition Assistance Program (TAP)....I'll let you know.
