FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Still have questions?
What is MilConCareers.org?
MilConCareers.org is a comprehensive talent platform dedicated to facilitating the transition from military to civilian life for service members, veterans, and military families. Powered by the nonprofit MilitaryConnected.org, the platform provides smart career translation, free skills training, and direct connectivity to verified employers who actively value military experience.
Who is eligible to use the platform?
The platform is built for the entire military-connected community, including active-duty transitioning service members, National Guard and Reserve components, veterans of all eras, and military spouses.
How do I join?
Joining is easy! Just provide your email address and a password and you are now a member of the MilCon Careers community.
Is there a cost to use MilConCareers.org?
No. The platform, mobile application, job matching tools, and educational resources are 100% free for all service members, veterans, and military family members.
What kind of career training do you offer?
Through strategic partnerships with industry leaders like Verizon and edX, MilCon Careers offers free online skills training and certification programs. These courses are designed to help you upskill, bridge any technical gaps, and advance your career placement in high-growth fields.
How does the MilCon Careers job-matching tool work?
Instead of using keyword-heavy, corporate-style search bars, MilConCareers.org utilizes an AI-driven Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) code translator. When you enter your military branch, duties, and codes (MOS/AFSC/Rating), the platform automatically translates your military background into transferable civilian skills—such as operations, logistics, leadership, and technical engineering—instantly matching you with relevant open career tracks.
What makes the employers on this platform different from traditional job boards?
Most standard job boards highlight companies that are merely “military-friendly.” MilConCareers.org partners strictly with “Military-Ready” employers. These are companies that have undergone customized training to understand what military skill sets are worth and have the proper internal infrastructure to support veteran integration, retention, and long-term career growth.
How do I refer someone?
You can refer someone from either a mobile device or a desktop browser. Once you are a member of our community and see a job that you think is right for someone you know, just copy the link to the job and send the person you are referring a note via e-mail, text or Facebook messenger. They can take it from there. Be sure to send along a personal note so they know why you think they would be an outstanding candidate..
What if I want to apply for the job myself?
That is terrific! Just hit the “Apply Now” button and follow the prompts. Then just open an account and upload your resume. We will review your background information and if you match the company’s criteria then you are on your way. Hope that you get the job!
How do employee referrals work on the platform?
Partnering with HR tech platform Aliro, Inc., MilCon Careers uses a mobile referral application. Because candidates hired through referrals are processed faster and have a much higher retention rate, the platform allows trusted networks, veterans, and family members to easily share direct job referral links to bypass automated application “black holes.”
What does it mean to become a "Military-Ready" employer?
Becoming Military-Ready goes past standard goodwill initiatives. Through our Military Advisory Services (MAS), our team provides a proprietary consultancy program that assesses your current hiring practices. We equip your recruiters, HR managers, and leadership with the policy structures, resources, and cultural understanding necessary to attract, hire, and successfully retain top military talent.
How can my company post jobs or partner with MilCon Careers?
We offer tiered annual corporate partnership opportunities (ranging from Community Partners to Strategic Leaders). Depending on the partnership tier, benefits include CSV job import credits, priority candidate matching using our MOS translators, access to your own branded mobile referral applications, and exclusive on-base recruiting sessions at major military installations.
How do I get in touch with support?
You can reach the MilCon Careers team directly by emailing support@milconcareers.org or by calling the support line at 888-342-8010
