🔍 Top Interview Tips for Veterans: Communicating Military Experience Transitioning from military service to civilian employment can be challenging, but your unique skills and experiences are invaluable. Here are some top tips to help you effectively communicate your military background to potential employers. Firstly, translate your military jargon into civilian terms. Employers may not understand military-specific language, so it's crucial to explain your roles and responsibilities in a way that highlights your transferable skills. For example, instead of saying "Platoon Sergeant," you could say "Team Leader responsible for training and managing a team of 30 personnel." Secondly, focus on your achievements and the impact you made. Employers are interested in how you can add value to their organisation. Discuss specific accomplishments, such as leading successful projects, improving processes, or achieving high performance under pressure. Use quantifiable metrics where possible to demonstrate your contributions. Lastly, practice your storytelling. Share anecdotes that illustrate your problem-solving abilities, leadership qualities, and adaptability. These stories can make your experiences more relatable and memorable to interviewers. Remember, your military background has equipped you with a unique perspective and skill set that can be a tremendous asset in the civilian workforce. What are your thoughts on these tips?

"Common career transitions that require coaching." Each year, approximately 200K military members leave the military and must reorient their lives... During their time in the military, those that serve develop highly desirable knowledge, skills, and abilities. However, translating these KSAs into civilian terms can be challenging. Also, the process of developing a résumé and cover letter, job interviewing, and networking is a process that is often times foreign to the military member. A qualified career coach who can instruct, provide familiarity with the process, and coach throughout the journey has proven to be invaluable to Servicemembers finding promising new careers post military. "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." At CareerSource Tampa Bay, we have your transition solution. Get Noticed. Get Hired. Find this valuable?

Hill AFB Transitioning Service Members! I will be at the MFRC June 26th, 27th, and 28th. Please stop by if there is anything I can do to help with your career preparation. I stay at the MFRC for breaks and lunch each day and after our sessions on Wednesday and Thursday. Would love to check in on some of the topics we have discussed: - Tell me about your “tell me about yourself” (no pun intended 😁) preparation. You have to be captivating, relevant, and unique within the first seconds. - Tell me about your “Ss” (Situations) in your STARs. Only 6% of the US population has served in the armed forces so your “Ss” are very unique especially when you tie them to the job description. - Tell me about your resume preparation. - Tell me about your LinkedIn profiles. Wow! Very impressed with some of the profiles you have created especially with how easy and welcoming you have made it for recruiters to find you. - Tell me about your networking. The statistics show that 60% to 80% of the jobs are not posted for public view. Your dream career is out there and your networking will take you there. - Tell me about how you are "thinking like a hiring manager" and using that way of thinking to prepare. - Tell me about your interviewing experiences. I know some of you had interviews last week and some next week. Happy to help! #giveback
