Lifestyle changes often
cause anxiety. Perhaps one of the most drastic lifestyle changes is the
transition from a military to a civilian career. Translating “military speak”
into “civilian speak” is a very challenging and daunting task. So how do you
start?
Planning is the key with
a big assist from Advantage Résumés and Career Services. Billie can describe
your military experience so that it is understandable. She can tell about your
contributions and achievements gained through serving and defending our country
in practical terms.
Have you considered how
much time and thought you will have to put into a résumé and other
career-related documents? Are you ready for the deal breaker—the interview? How
long has it been since you were interviewed? Things have changed for sure!
Interview coaching should be in your plans. Are you ready to make a decision
about the type of work you want to do? Personal assessments can help you decide
on your career direction.
Let Billie help. She is
“one of the few and elite career professionals who have earned their CMRW
(Certified Military Résumé Writer Certification)” says Barbara A. Adams,
President, Career Pro Global, Inc. Writers who receive the CMRW certification
have been through a rigorous education and testing process that ensures they
will be knowledgeable about military résumé writing providing military and
veteran clientele a critical edge.
Billie will create a custom résumé for you
that will enhance your career opportunities whether you plan to work in the
civilian marketplace or federal employment.
THE PROCESS
The process starts with
a one-hour consultation. You’ll determine together what types of résumé(s) are
required and discuss job targets. Billie will propose a package to meet your
needs. She will design a résumé unique to your experiences and accomplishments!
There’s a follow-up for revisions if necessary.
She can also get you
ready for the actual interview(s). Interview coaching is worth the investment of
time and money. Don’t make a short-sighted decision about preparation for the
interview.
Here’s what some have said about Billie’s
military transition résumés:
“Had to turn
down two jobs in the Washington DC area due to personal preferences but one has
offered a consulting position paying good money that I work from home on the
weekends. Just got picked up for a good job with a solid future on base.
Thanks again and I will be sending you some business.”...D.
