Greetings!

Standing Out in a Crowd

With rising fuel prices and a teetering housing and financial market, the companies who are hiring are being cautious and selective. Candidates seeking employment need to stand out amongst the competition.

So how can you stand out?

First, consider your military experience as a great differentiator. You have attained great skills and qualities that translate well into the civilian world, such as being a team player and having leadership experience. Be sure to include examples of what you have done in your cover letter and be prepared to discuss in your interview. Employers like seeing confidence in your own abilities.

    Be sure to add your Security Clearance to your profile
    Source-Navy League Hiring Center resources section

    A security clearance is a valuable commodity outside of the military. Companies who do classified work for the Dept. of Defense (DoD) or a national security related contract accrue the expense of the security clearances for their employees, which can cost several thousand dollars each. Because of this, many DoD contractors prefer to hire ex-military personnel with current clearances. However, you want to do your job-hunting immediately after transitioning to maintain a valid clearance.                                                                                                                 Read More
