Military Conversions
Military members
offer the corporate marketplace a wealth of experience, training
and education. Military are well trained, disciplined and most
often able to work in a variety of positions, from team member to
team leader. Most military members work in an occupation specialty
or specific career field, yet, actually accomplish many tasks
outside of their career field throughout their careers.
Career Marketing Techniques will help you focus your career
search by working through your past and grouping skill areas
obtained in the military. We ensure that your military
background is properly represented, highlighting specific areas of
expertise; we translate ranks, titles, jargon, acronyms and
present your career history to a corporate employer, so they
understand who you are and what value you offer their firm.
Military members should prepare at least one year in advance of
separating from the military, if possible.

responsibility to find your next job. It can be a little scary or
intimidating. The military will no longer issue orders indicating
your next assignment, location and time for reporting. So, the
first thing you need to do before you leave military service:
prepare a professional resume and develop a career transition and
search strategy.
