Career Transition Tips for Intelligence Community Professionals

from Security Clearance Insecurity

A number of intelligence community professionals now find themselves looking for their next opportunity. Unfortunately, the transition out of the IC and into the private sector doesn't come with a guidebook. That's why Alison Bouwmeester wrote the book Mission: Career Transition. After spending 28 years with the Central Intelligence Agency, she took on the new task of helping others to find their next opportunity after government service. She outlines dos and don'ts, including why it's important to get as much resume detail cleared before you start looking as possible, why contracting can offer a softer landing, and how to activate your networks to land opportunities.
