Here is a flyer about the upcoming Virginia Department of Veterans Services MMAC Virtual Hiring Event flyer. As a reminder MMAC has several pathways: Path 1️⃣ MMAC Qualified #transitioningmilitary Are you a veteran or transitioning Combat Medic/68W, Corpsman or Medical Technician/4N0X and it has been less than 12 months since you practiced hands-on clinical care? You may be MMAC Qualified. Only in Virginia you can continue to practice your clinical skills without the required civilian healthcare credentials – while you work to get those credentials. Keep skills sharp and credentialing on track with MMAC. Path 2️⃣ No #veteran Left Behind From HR to the ER or from PT to IT or engineering, healthcare needs people now with clinical and non-clinical military training and experience. Ever thought of a non-clinical role in HR, logistics or HVAC? We can help. Next to a patient, behind a desk, or on a ladder, we’ll help find your place in healthcare. Path 3️⃣ Healthcare Leadership Hospitals are like military installations. They need experienced leaders to keep things running efficiently and effectively. Are you that leader? From leading a practice or program, to managing safety, supply chain, infrastructure or information technology – if you are management material, we’ll help find your fit. Path 4️⃣ #MilitarySpouses If you’re a Military Spouse looking to start or continue a career in Virginia’s healthcare system, you’ve come to the right place. We are advocates, an employment resource, and a source of credentialing information. MMAC sets you up for success and potential employment at MMAC Partner Healthcare Systems and Virginia Values Veterans Certified Healthcare Employers statewide. Spouses serve too.

Great to be back in COS #NORTHCOM and really appreciate that Wes has shared these thoughts as a front-line #SecurityCooperation AM&E practitioner. His sentiments underscore the significant challenges of developing a workforce from an amalgamation of federal agency and/or private sector competencies. At the end of the day Assessments, Monitoring & Evalutation (AM&E - DoD) or Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (#MEL - USAID and DoS) are not skillsets that can be 'bolted-on' or 'ported' over from one another as much as it may appear straightforward. USAID's MEL competencies have been formed for over 40 years and I would argue that they are still in the early days of their collective learning arc. I've always believed (and still do) that a sound AM&E/MEL professional is domain/sector-agnostic. Meaning, an AM&E/MEL professional who has the functional expertise to assess the environment, design programs and associated indicators, and monitor performance and desired outcomes with methodological rigor can be positioned with relevant technical expertise to execute the required AM&E/MEL tasks. Though I have worked across the DoD, DoS, and USAID AM&E/MEL and programmatic enterprises and consider myself interagency "nimble" or adaptive, I was not fully prepared for the challenges of those elements that are more akin to working in a new country or culture for the first time, to include culture, language, and operational rhythms across six independent regional commands. Ultimately, I am incredibly grateful and humbled to work with professionals like Wes who have jumped out of their comfort zone and into the deep end just as I am for all of our DoD SC experts who believe there is a better mousetrap to be built. #onward #respect, Tetra Tech, Management Systems International, #AME, #NORTHCOM, #PartnerNation, Sabel Systems Technology Solutions, LLC

The Federal resume format is a highly recommended key for success when applying for job postings with the Air Force Civilian Service. To boost your chances, review your application for missing or unnecessary details. Moreover, a professional email address using your name makes a better impression than a nickname or slogan. For more tips, check out the link below. #FederalResume #CareerAdvice
