Landing a job that accommodates military life is an accomplishment worth celebrating, and the real work comes with managing your career over time.

Manage your career with these three steps:
Know how to transfer your professional license.
If you’re moving across the country or world, make sure your licenses and certifications pack up and travel with you for your next move.
