A career change is easier to assess when you break it into small steps. Use these points to compare the work, prepare your résumé and choose what to ask an employer.
Think about the tasks you enjoy most. You might prefer tools and site work, or you may want a role built around plans and people. Both are worth exploring.
Spell out terms a civilian reader may not know. Then explain your own part in each task. Clear details help an employer see how your skills could fit a job.
Choose a few examples that show what you did well. For instance, explain how you kept a shift on track or helped solve a supply issue. Only use facts you can support.
Read the duties, not just the job title. A site role and an office role may need different skills. So, ask which parts of the work you would learn after joining.
Some roles involve calls outside normal hours or trips between sites. Before you commit, ask about shifts, the work area and how the team handles changes to the schedule.
Find out which courses or skills the job requires. Also, ask who pays for training and how new staff learn on site. Do not assume past experience covers every task.
Ask how the team briefs staff on risks and checks tools before use. Also, make sure you know who to speak to if a task changes or you need more guidance.
Career support can help you put your skills into words and prepare for interviews. Check VAC’s current program rules, then ask which services may fit your needs.
Ask what a typical day looks like and how the team measures good work. You can also ask what the first few weeks involve. This helps both sides discuss fit.
Review our role descriptions, then call to ask which jobs are open. Share the type of work you seek and ask how to send your résumé to the right person.
