Join Career Confidential to help a vet get a job!
Veteran unemployment rates are ridiculously high. When our troops leave the service to transition to the civilian workforce, they struggle. They can’t get hired. Why?
I’ve worked with a lot of veterans over the last few years, and this is what I’m seeing:
Most veterans can’t “translate” the valuable training, skills, and work ethic they have for civilian employers. They don’t know how to write a resume, interview, or most importantly, communicate their value to the civilian world.
The result is that they can’t get hired. Even if they do get hired, they often wind up in jobs that are less than what they deserve—and that’s a shame.
The outstanding folks who have given their best to serve our country deserve better than that.
The first job you get sets the bar for later jobs. It directly affects the rest of your career. So it’s vitally important to have the training you need to get the job you deserve as soon as possible.
Over the last 4 years, Career Confidential has successfully trained more than 12,000 job seekers in over 70 countries. The results speak for themselves….job seekers who struggled for months and even years get hired at great jobs in a matter of just a few weeks—often with multiple offers.
Our transitioning veterans deserve a wildly successful job search, too.
To meet that goal, Career Confidential has developed what we call Mission: Transition.
Mission: Transition is a comprehensive, step-by-step job search and interview training system designed for military veterans.
Mission: Transition teaches job seekers:
- How to write a resume that “sells” their skills to employers and gets interviews
- How to conduct a targeted search to find a large number of relevant opportunities
- How to conduct a long-distance job search (requires specific adjustments)
- How to communicate with hiring managers (employers) to get multiple interviews
- How to develop interview skills to communicate their value as employees
- How to make themselves stand out from other candidates
- How to negotiate compensation and benefits in the corporate world
Mission: Transition is automatically available to military spouses, too. A special Family License means that one kit covers both the veteran and his or her spouse.
So what can you do? Here are a couple of ideas…
- Sponsor a kit for a veteran –or many kits. For every Mission: Transition kit you purchase to donate, Career Confidential will match it. If you donate 100 kits, Career Confidential will donate 100 kits. Together, we could help hundreds of our heroes.
- Host a career event for transitioning military service men and women. If you host it, I will donate my coaching services for the day to personally work with these job seekers—and give them a kit for free.
This is a wonderful service that you could give to those who have served us. You could make a personal, positive, life-changing difference in the lives of our military heroes.
Call me or email me to discuss how you can help.
