Happy Saturday,

I am reentering the workforce and am seeking a remote position, ideally in HR. I don't have any civilian HR experience, but I have military experience as a recruiter and extensive medical benefits experience. I also have a strong educational background in HR. Is there a workaround, or someone who can advise on the steps I should take?

Best regards, and thanks in advance

I would position your military recruiting experience as directly transferable. I have seen many HR teams value discipline, stakeholder management, and benefits knowledge. I would target HR coordinator or HR operations roles and be very explicit about how your experience maps to civilian HR tasks.

I would encourage you to look for hybrid positions, as fully remote positions are really rare these days. And they are incredibly competitive as well. Hybrid seems to be a lot more reasonable and attainable.

I would suggest targeting government contractors. Many civilian recruiters lack the knowledge of military terms and ranks to staff contracts.

After rejecting big companies like Infosys,Wipro, etc. I've joined EPAM Anywhere due to wfh permanently and it's perks.

Just how bad would it be to quit without a two week notice? I’ve been bait & switched into a horrible role, overworked to the point of having medical problems, and no amount of diplomatic talks with my manager has improved the day to day. My mental health and my personal relationships have been on a steady decline.

I don’t have another job lined up yet. But I’m danger close to quitting and taking my chances with freelance. Could it be worth it?
