The Essential Military-to-Civilian Transition Resource
Commitment to success

regulations, successfully operate
throughout the world in North
and South America, Eastern and
Western Europe, the Middle East,
and the Far East.
Clearly a leader in technology,
Callidus is also a leader in hiring
former military service members.
“Callidus is a rapidly growing
company that gives preferential
treatment to those who are mustering out of the military,” said
CEO Bill Bartlett, a former U.S.
Marine. “Those who have served
in the military tend to be differ-
eople first. While many companies lay claim to this
belief, a significant few actually
live it. Callidus Technologies,
LLC, falls squarely into the latter
group and sets an example for
corporate America.
Since 1989, Callidus has served
the refining, petrochemical and
pharmaceutical industries by
designing and fabricating burners, flares, gas and liquid incinerators, and vapor combustion
units. They also provide engineering and consulting
services for environmental and combustion
applications.
Employing over 300,
this Oklahoma-based
company has positioned
itself as a niche leader
with sales offices in
London, Shanghai and
Tokyo. In addition to
its manufacturing and

individuals who are looking, not
for a specific job, but rather for a
job that will showcase their
talents. While we are an engineering company, we hire for a
whole spectrum of jobs including
engineering, sales, project management, manufacturing and
purchasing.”
“From the very top, you have
this understanding of what
those who served in the military
can bring to the table. It’s difficult to find candidates having
the technical experience for this
particular industry. You don’t
learn it in school,” said William
De Los Santos. The director of
sales for North and South
America is a West Point graduate
and former Army helicopter
pilot. “Instead, we try to hire
the right person for the job.”
Former military personnel
typically fit that bill.
“We don’t look over the shoulder of the person. If you need a
lot of supervision, we’re the
wrong company for you,”
Bartlett said. “If we hire you, we
don’t put you in the closet and
forget about you. Once we make
the decision to hire someone, we

Civilian employers expect a “sales pitch”
by CAROLYN HEINZE
Contributing Writer
our training places you high on the list
among most recruiters, but that doesn’t
mean you can just sit back while they gush
over your resume. You need to sell your
skills — and yourself — to your next potential employer.
Consider this: Many retired military officers have experience managing more personnel, more inventory and more money than
their corporate counterparts could ever hope
to have. This makes them a great bet for
recruiters. However, if they cannot translate
this experience into civilian terms, it will do
them little good in their job searches.
John O’Connor, president of Career Pro of
NC, Inc., in Raleigh, observed that self-promotion can be especially difficult for military personnel. “Transitioning military people have not usually been in the business of
marketing themselves and aggressively promoting themselves,” he said. “They have
been taught to submerge their individuality
for the team.” Civilian employers, however,
Y
expect to hear a sales pitch that is tailored
to their specific needs.
It starts with your resume which, if well
written, will hopefully move the recruiter to
contact you for an interview. Diane Burns,
career coach at Career Marketing Techniques
in Boise, Idaho, urges ex-military personnel
to emphasize their discipline, time management, organization and communications
skills, and any experience training and
supervising others. Those who have traveled
around the world should point this out, since
many employers like to know that their job
candidates are culturally sensitive. “The military turns people into leaders,” she said.
“They need to highlight their leadership abilities. They work in real life, fast-paced environments, and in this world of multi-tasking,
this is a big deal. They can actually say that
they have done it, hands-on.”
Most importantly, job candidates must
translate their Military Occupational
Specialty (MOS) into corporate lingo. “The
key thing is to learn to translate their military background into corporate speak so that
they do not sound like they are speaking a
foreign language,” Burns said. You may list
“infantry” on your resume, but you should
type “(supervisor)” beside it to give the
recruiter a better idea of your capabilities.
The tasks you performed in the military
must also be described so that they are applicable to corporate operations. When Burns
pressed an ex-military candidate who “dug
ditches” further, she discovered that his
experience translated into skills that are
regarded as highly valuable in the corporate
arena. Not only was he digging ditches, he
was also supervising a team of five people
and managing an inventory worth $67 million — hardly the unskilled stereotype.
For interviews, job candidates should prepare several concise anecdotes that describe
their on-the-job achievements. For example,
“We were tasked with shipping over $40
million of equipment to Kandahar with one
week to do it. That required me to handle 12hour days and organize a team of seven people.
Here are the challenges that we faced, and
here is what happened as a result.”

Choose the right plate from the entrepreneur menu
by BILL WILLIAMS
Contributing Editor
hat is an entrepreneur? It is an individual who takes an idea, product or
service and turns it into a business.
That’s the simple answer. An entrepreneur can start a business, buy an existing
business, acquire a franchise, or pursue
their interests through various employment options. To become a successful
entrepreneur, you’ll need to find the
flavor that suits your tastes.
W
Concurrent employment
You could do project work as a selfemployed independent contractor, parttime employee or seasonal employee.
Future trends indicate a growth of 40% in
this area over the next few years as
company needs for staffing expand and
contract. Many military retirees will have
immediate opportunities to perform
duties similar to their current experience
working for companies that directly support the military.
This approach has many advantages.
First, it is a good thing to have multiple
income sources. The variety of assignments, locations and work can also keep
your interest without the fear of burnout.
Some employers even offer contractors
and part-time employees the option of
paying for corporate benefits such as
health insurance and retirement plans.
Even though the ability to choose
assignments might sound attractive, you
should be prepared for inconsistent
income levels. Remember that although
contract workers cost companies less than
full-time employees, they are often the first
to be cut if cost reductions must be made.
Start a business
What about starting a business from
scratch — building your dream, your idea,
your vision? To determine in advance if
people will really buy what you are selling,
you must research your idea thoroughly
and test market. A lot of help is available
for this. For example, regional Small Business Administration offices (www.sba.gov/
localresources) offer outlines for business
plans, and they will sometimes conduct
workshops on financing.
You can reap significant financial
rewards and a high degree of personal fulfillment taking this route. Businesses
that start small can be expanded and
grow to considerable size, with branch
locations opening. Sometimes the concept can be franchised. Your business can
become a financial asset to someday sell
or pass on to your heirs.
But business start-ups have a very high
failure rate — less than 32% are still in
business after five years — and this can
result in financial disaster for the owner.
You must develop the business model from
nothing and learn as you go. Acquiring
financing for a new business can be very
difficult, and ultimate financial success
usually takes much longer than expected.
Buy a business
Another approach is to buy an existing
business, perhaps one where the “brand”
is well-known and established. This
means real customers and real revenue
already in place, and the current owner
may be willing to finance and train and
support you as you assume ownership.
Business brokers are available to help find
something in which you’re interested and
have the requisite skills to manage.
But don’t get too excited just yet.
There is no organized buying market, so
you’ll need to find a reputable broker. It
can be difficult to determine the financial
stability of the business. The reputation,
good or bad, of the former owner comes
along with the business too. That immediate income and revenue stream may be
enticing, but the up-front investment to
assume ownership can be very costly, and
your debt service can be difficult to cover
with current revenues.
Acquire a franchise
If you possess the desire to be a business
owner without the desire to recreate the
wheel, consider becoming a “frantepreneur,” a blend of a traditional entrepreneur
and a modern franchise owner (my personal favorite). This is a great strategy if you
are willing to follow a proven system for the
benefit of personal and professional goals.
Franchisors want long-term business partners, and they are looking for individuals
that have the drive and determination to
achieve lasting success. A franchise must
be awarded, not just purchased; in fact,
The Building Blocks of Exceptional Leadership
"In today's society, ethics in leadership is a daily
topic. Stand Your Ground consists of real-life examples of how ethics and honor in decision making and
communication have lead to leadership success. I
encourage anyone in a leadership position to read
this book."
Frank Beamer

winning a franchise can be compared to
securing an employment offer.
The bugs have already been worked out.
The franchisor provides a proven business
plan, systems, support and training.
Franchise prices are fixed and regulated
by government disclosure requirements:
the Federal Trade Commission runs a tight
ship and strict standards must be maintained. Detailed information is readily
available. It takes less time than opening
a business on your own, and obtaining
financing is often easier since financial
institutions have more confidence in franchises than start-ups.
Franchisors do charge a franchise fee
for entry, but they do not make a profit
from these fees. Their income is the royalties they receive on the gross revenues
of your business operation, so they want
you to be successful!
Like everything else, there are some disadvantages as well. If you are strongly
independent, then a franchise is not a good
fit because you must follow the pre-set
system for success. (That is one reason why
franchisors like former military personnel
— you are used to following a system!)
You must conduct due diligence in the
acquisition stage, and using a franchise
attorney and a trustworthy CPA is just as
important as in acquiring an existing
business. The start-up/entry costs can be
higher since you are buying the experience, know-how, training and the busi-
ness model of the franchisor.
Usually there is a renewal clause in the
franchise agreement, five or 10 years out, at
which time another fee is paid to retain the
business. The franchisor wants the franchisee to continue growing the business
(and growing the royalties), yet franchisees
often reach a level of revenues and subsequent income that is comfortable for them
and then resist continued effort and investment. The renewal clause keeps the franchisee involved or forces them to sell out.
Can you make a living and achieve the
lifestyle you want by pursuing one of
these paths? Consider your passions and
what is most appealing to you. Decide
how much financial risk and how much of
a time investment you — and your spouse
and family — can live with. While you
may be a great manager and administrator, remember that sales are the lifeblood
of any business. And don’t be afraid to
seek professional advice.
There’s more than one way to become
an entrepreneur.

ear Readers,
I read with interest recently that the job outlook for
young veterans has improved. Jeannine Aversa, an economics writer for the Associated Press wrote in a Jan. 12,
2007, article, “It’s become a little easier for young military veterans returning from Iraq and elsewhere to find
jobs. The unemployment rate for young veterans —
those 20–24 — dropped last year to 10.4 percent, the
lowest since 2001, the Labor Department reported Friday.
That’s good news for a group that often struggles to find
work. In 2005, the jobless rate for young veterans rose
to 15.6 percent, the highest in at least two decades.”
PUBLISHER’S
LETTER
This report and similar news confirms my observations
that the job market and hiring of military veterans is
solid. Most military service members that struggle to
find jobs do so mostly because of a lack of information
regarding available jobs or a lack of knowledge concerning where to look or how to get in front of these companies. Others may struggle if they have locked themselves into a specific geographical location. However, if
the military service member attends the Transition
Assistance Class in a timely manner, attends job fairs,
researches jobs online, uses free recruiting resources,
and networks, they should be able to overcome the information dissemination problem and be exposed to great
career opportunities that are available.
I continue to see and hear about huge crowds at multiple job fairs on or near military bases nationwide —
and that’s just the employers! At a recent a job fair held
at Fort Hood, Texas, nearly 200 employers/vendors
attended. Each week, multiple military-related sites
advertise job fairs taking place all over the U.S., as well
as some planned for the overseas bases.
This newspaper is growing with companies advertising
available positions too. Our aim is to help military
service members in a career transition, and being a conduit to jobs and companies that target military service
members is a big part of that mission.
So, to reiterate my point from our February issue, with
the demand for candidates like you, will you be ready?
Civilian Job News continues to be a great resource with
articles about successful military-to-civilian transition
stories, introductions to military-friendly companies and
organizations, and so much more. Contributors like Tom
Wolfe, Janet Farley, Evan Offstein, Bill Williams and
others provide outstanding advice to help you with this
process. Get the news — get the job.

Ease transition stress with good strategy
“testing the waters,” you would not
want to potentially damage your
chances for military progression
should you ultimately decide to
remain in uniform. Conversely, if you
are certain that your next job title will
be a civilian one, then full steam
ahead!
by JANET FARLEY
Contributing Editor
he decision to transition out of the
military is a big one, without question. No matter how ready you are to
make the switch, trading in your uniform
for a “suit and tie” can be stressful, challenging and full of uncertainty. Any time
change is involved, it can be scary if you
feel like you don’t have a handle on all
you need to know.
So ease your mind and your nerves with
a little knowledge.
T
Make a plan
As soon as the thought of leaving the
military enters your mind, start planning.
The actual end date could be years or
days away — it does not matter. Forward
thinking is critical to your success.
Emphasis within the plan can be adjusted
depending on your personal timeline, but
advance planning is crucial nonetheless.
To get started, you need to ID the “Big
Three”:
1) What do you want to do when you get
out? Either put a job title on it or
describe it as best you can in as few
words as possible.
2) Where do you want the job to be, geographically speaking? The larger the
area of consideration, the greater your
chances of finding it.
3) How much money do you want or need
to earn? Establish an acceptable
range, but remember that salary is
only one component of compensation
and that location does influence starting salaries.
As you contemplate your next career
move, give these questions due consideration. Be able to answer each one confidently and be able to prioritize them. Be
sure to seek out the input of all of the
significant others in your life — especially if your level of satisfaction depends to
any degree on theirs.
Although these seem like simple little
questions, once you start to formulate
definitive answers you will discover how
tricky they can actually be. Only after
you have satisfactorily answered them
can you begin the real work of identifying appropriate opportunities and initiating the application process.

Craft a flexible resume
How many resumes do you need? One?
Two? Dozens? Rather than overwhelm
yourself with the possibilities, develop
one good, solid resume. Although you
will not use the exact same one for every
opportunity, you will be able to target,
tailor, and tweak your basic model.
Make your resume stand out above the
rest by customizing it for each opportunity. Yes, this requires more work, but it
can make a big difference. If you need
help getting started on this monumental
task, visit your transition center or contact the experts at an organization such
as www.MilitaryResumes.com, where professional counselors are ready, willing and
more than capable of assisting you. But
don’t stop there.
Reach out and touch everyone
To get your job done effectively in the
military, you knew who to call for the
resources or guidance you required. That
same concept applies in your job search
as well. Without a doubt, networking is
the best approach to find your next job.
The adage that “It’s not what you know
but who you know” is alive and well.
Depending on your stage of transition,
some level of discretion may be appropriate. Do not let the horse out of the barn
too soon. For example, if you are just

A bit of a cliché, but true nonetheless: You may not always feel like it on

most polished and appropriate interview suit means nothing if it is accompanied by an attitude representing
anything less.

the bad days come, do not get discouraged. Let the good thoughts win
out over the negativity, continue to
push forward, and you will eventually
find yourself happily employed.

Your GI Bill is not just for college!
Y
ou are probably aware that veterans
and eligible dependents may receive
GI Bill benefits for attending college. But
did you know you can still access your
benefits while transitioning into a new
career? “Many veterans are not aware
that they can use their GI Bill benefits in
on-the-job training (OJT) and apprenticeship programs with most businesses,” said
Georgia Commissioner of Veterans Affairs
Pete Wheeler.
As a veteran, member of the National
Guard or Reserves, or an eligible dependent, apprenticeship and OJT programs
offer an alternative way for you to
enhance the educational and training
section of your resume. “These programs
are excellent ways to enable a veteran to
acquire a skill under the supervision of an

Depending on your state’s program,
when you work full-time in an approved
OJT or apprenticeship program, you can
receive monthly tax-free benefits from
the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA)
in addition to your regular salary. In
some cases, the VA will even pay retroactively for OJT from the past 12 months.
Typically, your employment must meet
the following criteria to qualify for an OJT
or apprenticeship program:
• You must be supervised at least 50%
of the time.
• You must be a full-time paid
employee on either an hourly or a
salary wage, none of which can be
based on commissions.
• Your training must be documented
and reported.
The employer may be private, local or
state government. You cannot, however,
receive both OJT benefits and education
benefits from the GI Bill at the same time.
There are many nationally recognized
companies that participate in these programs, including Proctor & Gamble,
Cessna Aircraft, Merck Pharmaceuticals,
Pratt and Whitney Engine Co., and
Comcast. In addition, local law enforcement agencies, fire departments, and
departments of corrections have also participated in these programs.
Contact your local State Approving
Agency (www.saavetrain.org/VetEdOfficers/
index.cfm) for more details about this
little-known benefit for veterans and
reservists. The VA is the final determining agency for your eligibility. To apply
for benefits, complete VA Form 22-1990,
available at www.va.gov/vaforms, and
submit it to your regional VA office, or

application

Best to keep tabs on federal online resumes
by KATHRYN TROUTMAN
pplying for a government job? Be
careful. While all federal agency job
listings and application tools can be
accessed through the USAJOBS web site
(www.usajobs.com), these agencies don’t
all use the same resume builders and
databases. Lose track of the agency and
the resume builder on which you’ve last
updated your resume, and you could lose
your opportunity to land that next job.
Take the case of Kristen Taylor. She
was interested in a position in the Navy
and, having previously applied to
another listing there, she assumed she
had her current resume at the
Department of the Navy’s Civilian Human
Resource site. In fact, she had updated
her government resume on one resume
builder, but it wasn’t at the Navy’s site.
So, while her resume was posted in the
Navy database, it wasn’t up-to-date.
The result? Although she was actually
qualified, she was not considered for the
job because she applied with an old version
A
of her resume. Had she better managed
the application process, she would have
increased her chances of being referred to
the supervisor and getting the job.
USAJOBS basically acts like a portal.
While agency listings can be accessed
through that site, job seekers are often
directed to the individual agency to
apply, and some agencies use their own
resume builder and application system.
In fact, government agencies use a total
of more than 75 builders and application
systems. So updating your resume in one
agency database doesn’t mean you’ve
updated your resume at every agency.
As the largest employer in the country,
the U.S. government can have some
23,000 job listings posted across its various agencies on a single day, and active
federal job seekers often apply to one or
two positions per week. To avoid Taylor’s
fate, you could benefit by managing your
job application process.
Organization is key
A spreadsheet is often the most effi-
OFF THE MARKET!
Kevin J. Elliott; Army MSG/E-8; Infantry (20 yrs), Equal Opportunity (6 yrs)
What resources did you use to prepare your resume and plan your job search?
I attended the Army Career and Alumni Program (ACAP) briefings on resume
preparation, interview techniques, and using different job searches —
USAJOBS, CPOL, etc. I also talked with retirees who are or were working for
the government. I showed copies of my resume to ACAP personnel and various managers on the post where I retired and used these people as sounding
boards. I was also able to get a bachelor’s degree while working in a related
field in the military.
Which resource led to the interview that got you the job?
A resume submission through USAJOBS.
What factor led the company to make you an offer?
The agency said they were impressed with my resume and the answers to the
online questionnaire. That led to phone calls and a panel interview. During
the interview, the panel said they were impressed by my varied background
experiences — leadership time, staff time, training, peace-keeping, and combat and office environments. They also said they liked the examples I cited
when asked how I would or how I did handle various situations.
What other advice would you give to military members searching for a new career?
Use the military and civilian training that is available to you while you are in
the service. Go to ACAP early and keep going back — these people are paid
to assist you. Talk to your peers, supervisors, commanders, managers, and
retirees. Not every piece of advice you receive will be usable, but if enough
people are telling you the same thing, you may want to listen.
cient way to keep track of where you are
in the application process for each job
you’ve applied for. Include the date of
application, the job for which you
applied, when your resume was last
updated there, and the results. You
should also include user names, passwords and e-mail addresses used.
Bear in mind that the format of each
resume builder can vary significantly. For
example, with the Army’s resume builder,
job seekers can copy and paste their
entire work experience section into one
field. The Navy’s resume builder is more
cumbersome with multiple fields for
copying and pasting. Although the application has plenty of space — up to six
pages — creating a resume can be time
consuming. And, as the official government jobs Web site, the USAJOBS Resume
Builder is vital to understand, even if it
does require a lot of typing.
Advance planning speeds up process
To speed up your online submission,
you can make the resume-building
process more efficient. Before applying,
write an electronic resume in Word or a
similar program and save it on your home
computer. The online resume builders on
most government agency sites have an
optimum resume length of approximately
12,000 to 16,000 characters with spaces.
Before submitting a resume, check character-length instructions for each field

My advice for military members transitioning out of the military or getting
demobilized is don't put off looking for work. Whatever your experience is,
don't get into the mindset of “I’ll relax first and then look for work.” You
can relax and look for work at the same time. When I was on terminal leave,
I would wake up at my leisure, PT, and then start looking for work. Having
access to a computer is great — that’s how I went job hunting. I had my
second job interview while being on a month of terminal leave, and started
work 10 days after my EAS.
Vets should try their best not to think about their deployment to Iraq or
Afghanistan or elsewhere. Once they start working, that’s the best therapy
especially after a combat deployment. They should be open with their coworkers that they served in a combat environment. They don’t have to go
into too many details about certain things, but it’s a good ice-breaker to get
to know everyone since most civilians are curious about those experiences.
Especially after a combat tour, try to immerse yourself in your civilian work,
although in the beginning it might seem unimportant or meaningless. Make
that effort to give it your best — it’s a good way to be mentally occupied.
and adjust your response if necessary.
Submitting a resume can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour,
depending on the agency’s builder. Don’t
rush — you need to take the time to do
it right. The resume might be the application as well as HR’s way to examine a
candidate’s qualifications. Sometimes the
resume can even take the place of an
interview.
So what happened to Kristen Taylor?
She is now managing her resume submissions with a spreadsheet, keeping track of
applications, dates and her online results.
And when she updates the resume in one
database, she updates it in all other
resume builders as well.

From trees to toilet paper
Sometimes the process is as important as the result
by TOM WOLFE
Senior Contributing Editor
id you know that approximately half
of the people who transition from
military service to the civilian corporate
sector end up working for companies and
in jobs that, at the beginning of their
search, they didn’t even know existed?
Most job hunting experts recommend
that you determine what you want to do
before you begin interviewing. Well, I both
agree and disagree. For civilians, that advice
is perfectly valid. However, for military
personnel without civilian work experience, a job search is as much about educating yourself as it is about finding a job.
Many years ago, as a Navy lieutenant
who had decided to separate, I was trying
to figure out what I wanted to do. After
consulting with friends and family, reading several books, and seeking the guidance of a recruiter, I determined that my
division officer assignments had best
prepared me for a production management position in the civilian sector.
Focusing my search on that type of position, I was fortunate to pass a screening
interview with a major consumer products
company and was invited to a secondlevel interview at the site.
During the flight from Norfolk, Va., to
D
Scranton, Penn., I had plenty of time to
think about the interview and the job.
The company I was about to visit called
the position “Team Manager” and it
seemed right up my alley: responsibility
for 25 tradesmen — including training,
performance, safety, quality, maintenance — and the management of the
associated financial and material
resources. Throw in a couple of deployments and “U. S. Navy Division Officer”
would have been an apt title. Before my
plane landed, I pretty much knew that
this was the job for me.
Early the next morning, a representative from the plant (my sponsor for the
day) met me at the hotel for breakfast.
I quickly learned that he was also a former Navy surface warfare officer. He was
very open and friendly and encouraged
me to ask questions. The time we spent
together at breakfast and during the 45minute drive on the way to the interview
was both helpful and enlightening.
The facility was impressive — more
that a mile long, all under one roof. My
interview consisted of slowly walking
the length of the facility, interviewing
with team managers, department managers, the plant manager, and technicians along the way. What an education
I received that day! At one end of the

plant, freshly cut timber was being offloaded from trucks at a sawmill. At the
other end of the plant, delivery trucks
were loaded with the freshly produced
and packaged toilet paper.
If the goal of a second interview is to
get an offer, I had a successful day.
Before departing, my sponsor escorted
me to the personnel office where the
plant manager offered me the job. After
agreeing to give them my response within two weeks, I rejoined my sponsor and
he drove me to the airport.
C3
CAREER
COACH’S
CORNER
Once again, the flight gave me plenty
of time to think. As I reviewed my day
I realized how educational it had been. I
now knew four things that I had not
known on the flight up.
First, I knew how to turn trees into
toilet paper — a fascinating process and
much more complex than it sounds.
Second, I knew that you should never
wear a dark blue suit to a paper mill (I
looked like Frosty the Snowman at the
end of the day). Third, I found out that
I was capable of obtaining a job offer
and that at least one company would
have me! And, finally, to my surprise, I
knew that I did not want to be a production team leader.
When I called my recruiter, he was
excited to hear that the company had
extended an offer. He was surprised, however, to learn I would be turning it down.
I told him that although I felt highly
qualified to be a production manager,
once I found out what it really was, I
wasn’t all that interested. Parts of the
job were great: the team building, the
coaching, and the ability to improve
processes were very appealing. I could
see that, for the right person, it would be
an excellent opportunity with a highly
respected company. But that right person
was not me.
Although the similarities between
division officer and production team
leader pulled me toward production
management in the beginning, those
same similarities made me realize that
being excellent at something will only
serve you and the organization in the
short run. You must add passion and job
satisfaction to excellent performance to
make it last.
Although very competent in the position, I had not been passionate about
being a division officer, and I had not
been personally satisfied in that role.
How could I now possibly commit to what
was basically the civilian equivalent?
What happened between my flights up
and back? A successful interview was
accomplished, but, more importantly, I
was educated. I learned about production
management and how impressive a worldclass company can be in both its interviewing process and its operations. I also
learned more about myself. Being qualified is important, but being qualified AND
interested is even more important.
Sometimes the process is as important
as the result. Think of your career transition and job search as an informationgathering process, a by-product of which,
if thorough and successful, will be offers
of employment. Some of these offers
will be appealing and some will not. At
some point, the bells will ring, the lights
will flash, and you will know you have
found the right one — one for which you
are not only qualified, but one in which
you also have a high level of interest.
So my search continued, and eventually the bells did ring and the lights did
flash. But, like those people in the first
paragraph, I ended up in a job with a
company that, before my search began, I
had no idea even existed. Allow for the
possibility that the same thing might
happen for you!

Spring cleaning: Good for the closet
and good for your job search
by EVAN OFFSTEIN
Contributing Editor
here may be snow outside and the thermometer might still
dance around freezing, but do not kid yourself — spring is
right around the corner. And with spring comes the dreaded,
but often necessary, ritual of spring cleaning.
The essence of spring cleaning is to wipe away the dust that
has accumulated and to make everything look new and fresh.
For a moment, turn your attention away from the traditional
spring cleaning venues such as houses, garages, closets, windows
and offices, and instead let’s apply the “spring cleaning” concept to your resume, your network and your job search.
Make spring the time to revisit your resume. (Even if you are
not actively looking for a job, it still makes sense to keep your
resume current — sometimes a job out there comes looking for
you.) Read it with fresh eyes. Clean it up. Take off stuff that
is old, outdated and no longer necessary. Review the grammar.
Check phone numbers, and ensure contact information is accurate. Run it by a colleague or a friend to make sure the language
is precise, upbeat and attention-grabbing.
In addition to applying for jobs, a resume
comes in handy for speaking engagements, presentations, conferences
and public relations events.
A current
resume is
vital for
those
who want
to write a short
T
biography, get to know you better, or introduce you to a group.
As long as you are in an updating mode, you should also
review your list of references. Make contact with them and ask
for permission to continue to list them as references. Verify
their contact information. Doing this is not only professional
and courteous, but it also keeps your key network partners in
the loop.
Speaking of those network partners, spring is a good time to
review and perhaps expand your contacts, too. Open up your
address book in Microsoft Outlook or on your PDA, and pull out
that stack of business cards. Go through all of your contacts,
one by one. Ensure that e-mail addresses, phone numbers and
mailing addresses are accurate and update if necessary. This is
also a good way to reestablish contact with those whom you
may have been out of touch recently.
Finally, apply the spring cleaning concept to your job search
itself. Re-examine what you really want and what actually matters to you. Fine-tune your goals and objectives, and structure
your search accordingly. Admittedly, this takes some discipline
and forces some hard choices. Zero in on the positions, the
industries and even the organizations that you want to pursue.
Get rid of what you no longer need, and spruce up the rest.
When you do that, you will find that you are better focused and
more efficient.
The whole idea behind spring cleaning is to remove the clutter that prevents you from living well. And remember, the faster
you tackle the task, the quicker you can go out and smell the
roses.

According to O’Connor, this anecdote
demonstrates problem-solving skills and
the ability to devise an effective plan of
action. “It also shows the tangible
achievement, and you could describe
what would have happened if you had not
succeeded,” he said. Whether you were
on the front lines or not, he added, you
probably have some dramatic stories to
tell.
While those with security clearances
should note this somewhere on their
resumes, they are faced with the additional challenge of describing their previous position without giving too much
away. “It can be very hard for people who
have worked in secret or top secret
assignment to be very specific about their
tasks, but you must hint at the kind of
things as you did, and make it as clear as
possible without crossing the line,”
O’Connor advised.
Before your interview, do your homework. Visit the company’s web site, read
through press releases and annual
reports, and gain a sense of the size and
scope of the organization, the product
and services it offers, as well as what the
position for which you are applying
entails. Then during the interview, you
too will be able to play the role of interviewer. What were the accomplishments
of your predecessor? What are the challenges associated with this position for
the first six months? What would a high
performer do to achieve the kind of
results that the company wants to see?
Will you be supplied with the appropriate
personnel to help you accomplish your
goals? To whom will you report? How do
employees know that they are on the
right track? Is there a formal evaluation
process?
One pitfall is declaring that you are a
“Jack (or Jill) of all trades,” or that you
are capable of doing anything. Burns conceded that, although this may be true,
corporate recruiters seek someone who is
focused and who is not going to blow in
and turn things upside-down. When
these candidates get into an interview, “it
can seem as if they are over-qualified,”
Burns said. “The interviewers can get very
intimidated, so the ex-military person
needs to learn how to answer the questions properly. They do not want to sound
like they are going to go in there and
take everything over — that is not necessarily their plan — but they have the
problem-solving capabilities to do it.”
Selling yourself means presenting your
skills and yourself in a way that employers can understand and relate to.
