A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO STAY CONNECTED TO AND GIVE BACK

TO THE MILITARY COMMUNITY

Who We Are

First Command was founded in 1958 by a retired military officer committed to helping service members and their families improve their financial well-being. Today, more than 500 First Command Financial Advisors – four out five of whom are veterans or military spouses – are committed to the company’s Mission of “Coaching those who serve in their pursuit of financial security.”

Here at Fort Bliss, our team is committed to helping the 1st Armored Division/Air Defense Artillery community get their financial lives squared away. In order to strengthen our ability to fulfill that commitment, we are now seeking to grow our team and have an immediate opening for a transitioning service member or veteran from the 1st Armored Division/Air Defense Artillery community interested in pursuing a career as a Financial Advisor.

These qualities define a great First Command Financial Advisor

Our Experience Has Led Us To Believe That The Three Most Important Qualities For Our Advisors To Possess Are

Contrary to popular belief, strong math skills are not the most important quality in a financial advisor.

· Knowing and understanding the people they seek to serve.

· Possessing strong leadership and coaching skills.

· Having a genuine passion to serve.

That’s why we prioritize the hiring of veterans and military spouses to serve as First Command Financial Advisors, and why we are reaching out to the Hollman AFB and White Sands community here at Alamogordo as we seek to fill this vital role in our organization. So, if you like the idea of a second career that gives you the opportunity to stay connected to and give back to the military community, this just might be the right opportunity for you. Lifelong learners with a strong internal drive, an entrepreneurial mindset and a desire for professional growth excel.

· What Our Financial Advisors Do Work strategically to engage with and serve the military community

· Coach military families on steps they can take to gain control of their financial futures through holistic financial planning based on three cornerstones:

· Investments (intermediate and long-term goals)

· Risk Management (protect your plan from the unexpected)

What We Offer

· Your ability to start your own small business without the need for capital or formal education (although having a degree does help)

Internship programs – including DOD Skill-Bridge – structured to facilitate a smooth transition to your next career.

· A specialized licensing and training program designed to prepare veterans and transitioning service members for building and growing a successful financial planning practice

· The ability to control your career trajectory, including future management opportunities
