I mentioned CareerJournal in one of the first posts for this site, but thought an article they had today was worth mentioning on its own:
As important as it is to learn the language when you travel in a different country, it's even more important when you try to make the leap from the military to the civilian workforce. But it's not limited to just people in uniform -- this can also be a challenge for people leaving government service or the nonprofit world. And because turnabout is fair play, it's often a problem for corporate types who want to go into jobs in the public sector.
Some of the tips are similar to a piece I did for Getting Ahead on military transitions a few months ago, but the CareerJournal column is especially nice in broadening that advice for anyone who is moving from one sector of the workforce to another.
