Editor's Notes
- SLIDE 1: Introduction Establish Rapport: Audience & Agenda: Purpose & Intent:
- YOUR NAME: qualifications to include? Ph.D., Ed.D., PsyD, DBA, CPA, M.D. (yes) MBA, JD / Esquire (no) – remember the degree is only part of the process Refer back to some of the examples used by Tanya last week Jargon: refer to “military skills” note from GI Jobs article (and advice given)
- What you should do
- What not to do: Format picture properly (even dimensions) Actually list your company name / headline
- Experience: if you’ve just started your transition, a single entry for each tour or assignment is appropriate, but as your time in the civilian world grows, your military service should become a single entry Get rid of the military jargon – http://www.gijobs.com/kick-military-jargon-curb/
- Good / Bad ways to do your experience section
- GPA: Law, finance (others?)
- What to do right
- SKILLS: Set of keywords that will help to bring recruiters, others to your profile These keywords autofill based on your experience You can also choose a pre-selected number of skills Translate military skills for civilians: instead of military operations or weapons, use communication networks, aircraft management, and supply chain management
- - Talk about types of recs, how to get recs, why they’re important
