Do any recruiters or career counselors know what jobs are available for active duty?

The last time I saw a list of jobs available for people transitioning from reserves to active was in April. Just interested in knowing if anything has changed. I hear the jobs for prior service business rules change more often than not.

Yes, they know. Go speak to a recruiter or career counselor.

You'll know when you walk into MEPS. Class seats are a finite resource, first come first serve

A list of of jobs available??? When you enlisted for the Reserves you were trained in a specific MOS, right. Now you want to transition to the Active component, but not in your initial MOS. The way it works is choosing an MOS is based on, are you qualified for the field, and is there a school seat available to coincide with you transition.

Yes, they do know. You will need to coordinate with them while going through MEPs as boat spaces are first come first serve. The FY is almost up and new openings for FY22 should be known. Getting with them now to grab something when the FY22 window opens is your best bet for getting something decent

When you are done with the plethora of MEPS process for the day, when all is ready for you to see the MEPS Career Counselor, that is when you will find out what is available based on what you are qualified for. If, by some chance you are wanting to keep your MOS and there is a slot available at that time, then take it and you're done just have to do the Oath and wait to ship. If your MOS is not available, then what is available for what you qualify for will be provided to you. You then pick the one that interests you most, do the Oath then wait to ship. You have to remember that the list will change pretty much daily, so what is there when you sit down with the Counselor may not be the list from 3 days prior.

It is limitless!

Try visiting USAJobs.gov, your local stare workforce board. or Indeed.com
Most local workforce agencies are there to support vets. Others are tagalong. I worked as a veterans workforce counselor for a while around 2003. I can tell you there are endless opportunities for military veterans in Texas.
