One member John V. even saidThis is by far the most comprehensive email I have ever received regarding assistance with career advancement.Thank you for this email and the fantastic information throughout.Well, thank you to everybody for your kind wordsThe two most common questions you all had, dealt with these two issuesYou repeatedly mention quantifying my achievements. What if youre in a field that you cant quantify?To which Id say there is no field that you cant quantify.If youre in an industry that focuses on subjective outcomes such as hospitality, or fashion, or the arts, youll focus on the numerical results that your subjective efforts generated.Similarly, if youre in a field that is extraordinarily process- or technically-driven, where your accomplishments are difficult for non-experts to understand, you focus on the outcome for your clients, bosses and colleagues.Always bring it back to numbers of customers acquired % user satisfaction increased hours of time saved $ that your efforts brought in, saved, optimized, cut, or increased of users increased, handled, or hostedSo that your awesome new fault-tolerant architecture is described in terms of the benefits it brought to the company, users, or your colleagues.Or your fancy and clever absatzwirtschaft ideas are conveyed with number of awards won, percentage changes in target market survey responses, or volume of articles written about them.And your leadership of the catering division of a maj or hotel group is quantified with customers served, celebrities photographed at your events, and dollars of revenue generated.When you think about it, every new job hired at a company is hired for a reason - the company hopes this position will improve its value by improving its operations. So be specific and explicit about how youve helped a company improve its operations in the past.And the second most common question was in response to this advice for your Professional SummaryJob titles list 3 to 5 job titles of jobs you would actually accept as your next job. It does not matter that you have never actually had this job title in the past, but it is important that it is a plausible next step in your professional career.One member wrote Not aya how I can write a target role in the resume which I dont have currently and many wondered how this could be the case.Well, a resume is a marketing document. It is not, strictly speaking, a log or listing or cataloging of your past career mi lestones.And while you cant and shouldnt change the names of your past titles at past companies, the professional summary does allow you some flexibility in describing what youre looking for in summary format.So if youre a QA Manager of some experience looking for a QA Director role, its appropriate to include that as a target title.Or if youre a Sr. Director Marketing, looking to move up to VP, Marketing.Or an SVP Operations looking to be COO.Positioning your resume to be for the job youre going for rather than the one you had is helpful to your getting hired.And in the case that you get an old-school stickler asking why is this VP, Marketing title on here in your professional summary when youve never held that exact title in an organization?The appropriate and true response is my career is about progression and moving up, and I wouldnt be entertaining talks with your company if that wasnt the case. The next logical step in my job search is VP Marketing, and thats why its communica ted on the resume summary as my target title.Because, after all, if you wanted to keep the same title, you could just stay in the job youre in now, right?Well, Readers, thats how you can help yourself get hired this Labor Day.

Panelists Tackle Tough Issues at the Inaugural ASME Decision Point Dialogues

Panelists Tackle Tough Issues at the Inaugural ASME Decision Point Dialogues Panelists Tackle Tough Issues at the Inaugural ASME Decision Point Dialogues ASME President Marc W. Goldsmith was one of a dozen engineering and science thought leaders from industry, academia and the global development space who gathered in New York last week to discuss the challenges facing engineering education and the engineering profession during the inaugural installment of the ASME Decision Point Dialogues series.Will Engineers Be True international herausforderung Solvers? was the theme of the spirited discussion, which took place April 17 at the State University of New Yorks Global Center. The program was conceived and organized by the Workforce Strategy Execution team in partnership with the Engineering for Global Development group and with participation from ASMEs various departments.Moderated by Robert J. Jackson, Jr., associate professor and Milton Handler Fellow at Columbia Law School, the even ing was structured as a Socratic dialogue, a format in which a small group of experts led by a facilitator try to find clear-cut answers to questions that dont have simple solutions. The evenings discussion revolved around a mock scenario involving a female middle-school student pursuing an engineering career in the U.S., a boy in Zambia intent on fixing his villages water pump, and a middle-school teacher considering leaving education for more lucrative opportunities. (From left) ASME President Marc Goldsmith, Florence Hudson of IBM, Ron Hira from Rochester Institute of Technology, and Joseph Sussman of ABET were among the thought leaders who participated in the ASME Decision Point Dialogues panel discussion in New York on April 17. Addressing the subject of the teacher reaching that crossroads in his career, ASME President Goldsmith emphasized the crucial role these educators play in steering young people toward engineering and other STEM professions.Middle-school teachers are absolute critical players in influencing young kids toward their careers, Goldsmith said. And we want to keep those with a passion for teaching math and science and engineering and technology in those positions. Those passionate teachers are critical, and theres a shortage of them. They need to be celebrated. For its part, ASME has created recognition programs for teachers - such as the DiscoverE Educator Award program that was launched last year - to do just that.Javaris Powell, a teacher and administrator at Friendship Public Charter School and one of the inaugural DiscoverE Educator Award recipients, added that the emphasis on improving standardized test scores has many middle schools radically reducing the amount of science in their curricula.A crisis does exist, Powell said. If you look at our student scores on placement tests with math and science, they have been plummeting over the past 25 years. Regarding standardized tests, Powell noted that science is not as sessed. So the major focus becomes reading and mathematics. So if reading and mathematics are being emphasized, some schools are actually feeling presaya to make sure they increase their standardized test scores by sacrificing instruction in science. ASME Board of Governors member Richard Benson (left), dean of engineering at Virginia Tech, and Engineers Without Borders-USA founder Bernard Amadei, were also among the panelists. By the end of the two-hour event, the discussion had covered a variety of issues including keeping university engineering programs up-to-date with the demands of the profession, the problems associated with maintaining water pumps and systems in developing countries, the outsourcing of engineering and IT jobs outside the United States, and efforts to increase the number of women in the engineering workforce.The vision for the Decision Point Dialogues series goes well beyond our event in New York City. In fact, the event was only the starting p oint. The Socratic dialogues program is one element in a movement supporting ASME thought leadership initiatives, said John Falcioni, editor-in-chief of Mechanical Engineering magazine. Falcioni, along with Noha El-Ghobashy, director of ASMEs Engineering for Global Development enterprise, convened the event.While the first dialogue was envisioned to touch on a broad range of conflict points, Falcioni added that ASME will continue these discussions of difficult issues in subsequent Decision Point Dialogue events and also through online communities that are being developed on ASME.org. ASME is a catalyst, Falcioni said. It is a rightful convener of critical conversations that impact not only engineering workforce development but numerous other areas - including the global economy, global development, and healthcare to name only a few. The mission of ASME is to help improve the lives of people globally. The impact of this program will ultimately be measured by how it supports that go al.In addition to Goldsmith and Powell, the panel at the New York event also included Bernard Amadei, founder of Engineers Without Borders-USA ASME Board of Governors member Richard Benson, dean of engineering at Virginia Tech Liza Billings, engineering student and consultant at Grant Engineering Daniel Ingnacio Garcia, founder, aufstrebend Engineers Ron Hira, associate professor of public policy at Rochester Institute of Technology Florence Hudson, corporate strategy executive at IBM Emeka Okafor, curator for Maker Faire Africa Andrew Reynolds, senior advisor for the Department of States Office of Space and Advanced Technologies Joseph Sussman, managing director and chief information officer for ABET and Jessica Townsend, associate dean for curriculum and academic programs at Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering.The ASME Decision Point Dialogues program, Will Engineers Be True Global Problem Solvers? will air online - on ASME.org - in June.

Beatmakers and Their Representation

Beatmakers and Their RepresentationHip Hop Producers/Beatmakers and Their RepresentationRepresentation, such as a manager or a lawyer, is an essential asset to any recording artist trying to succeed in the music industry.But for the hip-hop beatmaker/producer, whose role is different than that of a typical recording artist, theirrepresentation can look different than the traditional performer. A Different Type of Representation Hip hop-rap beatmakers/producers provide beats for other recording artists to write and perform to. Unlike other recording artists, who sell their persona and bild to the public just as much as their music, beatmakers/producers sell their music to other recording artists, and they usually do leid worry about their persona or image being in the public eye. Instead, their primary concern is pairing their beats with recording artists who need new music. This precarious music-matching process is one reason why beatmakers/producers need to have special represen tation. They must have someone who can flush out opportunities for music placements they need someone who can find recording artists and other comparable parties who are seeking new beats. The other reason why a beatmaker/producer needs a representative, especially early on in their career, deals with the compositional method of hip hop/rap beat-making/production itself. Hip-hop beat-making/production is a very meticulous and often arduous craft that is usually orchestrated in a solitary environment. It is this solitary dimension to beatmaking/production that prompts the need for representation. Beatmakers/producers need a representative, someone to pitch and/or broker the sale of their beats. So just as with the music-matching process of the best-selling world, here, its easy to see why a representative - or better yet, a beat broker - is critical to the chances of beatmaker/producer landing the much sought after placement on a commercial release. Representation is varied, but th ere are three kinds of representatives that hip hop-rap beatmakers/producers should look for. Beat Brokers A beat broker is someone who promotes the beats of a beatmaker/producer. A beat broker can be a friend, a music insider, or anyone that has access to a network of recording artists, in particular, recording artists who are likely to be in the market for new music material. A beat brokers only responsibility is to shop the beats of the beatmaker/producer that they represent. They need not be skilled in negotiating the terms and sale of the beats that theyre shopping. Because of this limited (but critical) scope, an agreement between a beat broker and beatmaker/producer can be rather simple, straightforward, and short in duration. A beat broker can be commissioned for a 10-percent finders fee, worked out over a per beat or per situation agreement. Producer-Managers A producer manager is perhaps the most ubiquitous (and undefined) kind of representative that a beatmaker/p roducer can have. Normally, a manager is someone who manages the entire career of a client. For a beatmaker, a producer managers responsibilities can fall anywhere from simply shopping beats to negotiating the terms of beat sales, to arranging pivotal meetings with prospective beat buyers, to setting upbeat showcase meetings with key decision makers at record labels. But because of the scope of a managers role, it is likely that a beatmaker/producer will have to enter into a more lengthy and more detailed agreement than they would with a beat broker. Entertainment Lawyers Shopping the beats of a beatmaker/producer is not the primary role of a lawyer though in some limited cases, lawyers do indeed pass on the music of their clients. Lawyers are mostly responsible for drafting or reviewing the legal agreements that their clients enter. It is in this capacity that lawyers can ultimately be more important than beat brokers and managers. What Kind of Representation Is Right for Yo u? Though the kind of representation that you choose depends on your individual situation, most beatmakers/producers only need a lawyer, and at times a beat broker, but not a producer manager. Beatmakers/producers are already self-contained and usually very organized their careers depend primarily on servicing the musical needs of other recording artists rather than performing themselves. Furthermore, given the nature of the general openness of the beat shopping process itself, its not terribly important who gets the beats into the hands of decision makers. In fact, increasingly, recording artists are accepting beat/instrumental submissions through other outlets, namely email, social networking sites, and national contests. The Pros and Cons of Producer-Managers Moreover, its important to keep in mind that once you sign with a producer manager, they are entitled to a 20-percent cut of all the music-related revenue you earn. Typically, the representation period will last two yea rs or more. As your career grows, however, and as you become a more sizeable figure in the recording industry, then it may indeed be not only advantageous but necessary for you to get a manager, mainly because you will be eligible for opportunities outside of selling beats to other recording artists. Do You Need a Producer-Manager? Its important to point out that hip hop-rapbeat-making/production is a relatively new and rather unique phenomenon in the recording industry. As a result, many recording artists are still trying to navigate their way through the current model. Though a producer manager can help a beatmaker/producer gain exposure early on, its important to remember that once a beatmaker/producer is established on any significant level, the task of successfully shopping their beats themselves actually becomes rather easy. In fact, should you reach a point of acclaim, people interested in your brand of beats will often reach out toyou. If youre a beatmaker/producer just starting out, the question of whether or not to go with a producer-manager is really a question of exposure. If you feel that the exposure a producer managercan get you is above and beyond what a beat broker can provide, then a producer-manager might be the way to go. Just make sure that the producer managers responsibilities and obligations are well-definedin writing. Its also a good idea to include benchmarks (set goals) within the language of any agreement that you enter into with a producer-manager. But before you commit to an agreement with a producer manager, remember this savvy beat brokers are more likely to go to better industry parties than producer-managers.

What to Do When a Client Treats You Like an Employee

What to Do When a Client Treats You Like an EmployeeWhat to Do When a Client Treats You Like an EmployeeFreelance life is a lot easier with an anchor client, someone who engages you on an ongoing or long-term grund to perform a set amount of work for a set amount of pay. While anchor clients make it a lot easier to pay the bills, they also bring their own set of potential pitfalls for freelancers. For instance, its easy to find yourself committed to a lot more work than you originally agreed upon, or expected to behave in ways that are more appropriate for a full-time employee. A certain amount of consideration is to be expected when a client books a hefty percentage of your time. Its good business to make sure your best customers are happy. Maintaining good relationships shouldnt prevent you from developing new clients or getting work done on other projects. Let your clients forget that youre elendlage an employee, and you could find yourself doing full-time work for part-time wages , with no benefits, paid time off, or unemployment insurance. What to Do When a Client Treats You Like an Employee Bottom line, when it comes to freelancing, you want to give your best work to your clients and do what you say youre going to do but your ultimate loyalty should be to yourself and your business. It helps to know where to draw the line. Contractors vs. Employees First things first the IRS has a very specific set of legal guidelines that define the difference between contractors and employees. The primary differentiators are related to control and independence. Generally, for the IRSs purposes, youre an employee if the satzinhalt eines datenbanksegmentes that pays you controls or has the right to control The behavioral aspects of your work, meaning what you do at work and how you do it.The business aspects of your work, meaning how youre paid, how expenses are reimbursed, and who provides tools and supplies.The type of relationship between worker and company, me aning contracts or benefits, whether the work continues, and whether the work is a key aspect of the business. Reasons to Stay Freelance Sometimes, contractor relationships turn into employer-employee relationships, to the benefit of all involved. The client might realize that a freelancer is a great fit for a position that just opened up at the company, or the work might grow in scope to the point where a new job emerges from what was a temporary project. This is great news if both sides are interested in a more permanent working relationship. From a companys perspective, hiring an employee costs money but also potentially saves legal headaches, if the contractor is already performing employee-type work. From a freelancers perspective, there are plenty of benefits, too, including obvious reasons such as job security (or, these days, the illusion of the same), entitlement to unemployment benefits in the event of certain types of termination of employment, and splitting the cost of Social Security and Medicare contributions with an employer. With all this in mind, given the option of going full-time, why would anyone want to stay freelance? 1. Freedom The key is in the term freelancer. For some people, keeping work on a freelance basis offers more freedom. Sure, you have to pay self-employment tax, and occasionally hound clients for payment, and deal with gigs that disappear but you also have an unusual degree of control over your working life. If you want to sleep late now and then, or take a week off to travel, or drop your hours to care for a family member, freelancing is a better bet than working full-time (at least for most employers). 2. Easier Transitions Working as a contractor might make it easier to transition to a new job when the time comes. Thats because its generally easier to pick up another gig than it is to get hired as a full-timer. Employers change over time, as will your needs and professional goals. If you stay freelance, you can run o ut your contract and say goodbye with greater ease and fewer bad feelings. 3. Loyalty to Yourself, Not an Employer Freelancing also makes clear something thats true for workers in todays economy you need to be on your own side, or no one will be. Theres really no such thing as job security in the 21st century. Freelancers are just more aware of that than most employees. That doesnt mean that freelancing is for everyone. But if its for you, you might find that youre better off counting on yourself than an employer. How to Keep Scope Creep From Turning You Into a Secret Employee Once youve decided to play the freelance game indefinitely, the goal is to make sure that you dont wind up acting like an employee, anyway. Employers might not even consciously try to treat you like an employee. There are a lot of reasons it just sort of happens, including projects that grow larger than anticipated and a team made up primarily of full-timers. If youre the only freelancer in the room, itll be hard for people to remember that you might not be at your desk at 9 a.m., their local time, every weekday. But there are ways to prevent scope creep 1. Avoid Same-Day Work on an Ongoing Basis As a writer and editor, youll have plenty of gigs that require same-day turnaround, such as editing blog posts on breaking news. Generally speaking, its best to avoid packing your client list with these, because they tether you to my desk, wiping out the freedom aspect of freelancing we discussed a minute ago. Unless youre getting paid enough to have a lot more flexibility during the rest of your workweek, or are taking on a project of short duration, we recommend not taking on too many same-day projects. Book yourself into 40-plus hours a week of sitting at your desk at the same time every day, and you might as well look for a full-time telecommuting gig instead of freelance work or go back to the office. 2. Set Boundaries and Stick to Them Freelancers hate to say no. Every time we do, it feels like turning down money. But setting boundaries isnt the same as saying youll never be available again. As long as you do what you say youre going to do, and make accommodations for good clients now and then, you have every right to set your schedule and balance your client list as you see fit. The goal is to manage your time, not let your time manage you. 3. Communicate Many freelancers feel strange talking to one client about their responsibilities to other clients. We think this is a mistake if youre open with your clients about your other deadlines, youre more likely to come across as a businessperson whos trying to follow through on commitments, instead of an undedicated worker whos shirking a project. You dont need to share the details. Just dont be afraid to speak up when a client request would come into conflict with your other responsibilities. If it makes you feel better, think of it not as saying no, but saying not right now and then move that client to the top of the list, next time theres a conflict.

5 Easy Tips To Improve Your Emotional Intelligence

5 Easy Tips To Improve Your Emotional Intelligence How To Increase Your Emotional IntelligencePosted March 13, 2017, by Kat BoogaardWhat is emotional intelligence?Emotional intelligence. You see this buzzword being bandied around quite a bit in the business world. But, ahem, what exactly is it? Well, the concept is more straightforward than you might initially think. Emotional intelligence, also known as EI or EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient) is your ability to be aware of and manage your own emotions, as well as the emotions of the people around you.Why is emotional intelligence important?As buzzy as the word might sound, emotional intelligence is crucial for successful relationship building, both in the office and out. And, as you might guess, a high level of emotional intelligence can really pay off in your career. Multiple studies have shown that job wertmiger zuwachs and emotional intelligence are inextricably linked. In fact, a reported 90% of top performers are high in em otional intelligence, and high performing managers have higher emotional competence. Conversely, 80% of low performers have a low emotional quotient (EQ) suggesting that job performance and emotional intelligence go together like peanut butter and jelly. For some, a high level of emotional intelligence comes fairly naturally. But for others? Being self-aware enough to recognise their own emotions while also being tuned into the feelings of other people seems almost impossible you might as well ask them to lasso the moon.The good news is, emotional intelligence can be learned. In fact, research has shown that people who worked on increasing their emotional intelligence were happier, healthier and less stressed out. So, that leaves us with one big question How can you improve your own emotional intelligence and use that to better manage any negative emotions in the workplace? Lets explore.How can you improve your emotional intelligence at work?Knowing how to recognise, process, and effectively manage your emotions at work is important after all, nobody wants to be that colleague who loses it when something doesnt go according to plan In fact, emotional intelligence has been identified as one of the top ten skills employers will need most by 2020. But how can you be more in tune with your emotions? herbeie are five key tips to help you improve your self-awareness and perceptiveness, and then adjust your reaction accordingly.1. Get Outside PerspectiveSelf awareness isnt always easy, so sometimes it can be helpful to get some outside perspective in order to better analyse how you feel. In fact, research shows that how we would rate our own emotional intelligence is typically not even close to how others would rate it proving that none of us have a great handle on how were presenting ourselves to others. So when youre struggling with an issue or conflict at work, having conversations with friends, co-workers, or other trusted confidantes will help you se e things from all sides, and thus allow you to approach those scenarios with much greater emotional intelligence. Remember, you dont have to go it alone2. Use I Feel StatementsYouve found yourself in a heated and emotionally charged situation at work. Perhaps your co-worker threw you under the bus or your team is in a lively argument about the best way to approach a project. In these sorts of exchanges, its easy to let your frustration take control and to start pointing the finger at other people. But, as you probably already know too well, thats only going to cause more anger and problems. So, rather than doling out demands or accusations and playing the blame game, its much better to frame your thoughts and opinions as I feel statements. For example, instead of saying something like That idea would never work You would respond with something more self-focused like I feel like that sort of approach might cause some confusion. Following that, you could add on your own sugges tion, such as, What if we started with an outline first? This question will encourage continued discussion without seeming like youre simply shooting down the other persons contributions without anything productive to offer. Plus, giving your feedbackusing this gentler I feel language serves as a subtle reminder that youre sharing ideas based on your own opinions, rather than getting on your high horse and pretending you have all of the answers.3. Put Yourself in the Other Persons ShoesWhen youre in an emotional exchange, its easy to get so blinded by your own thoughts and feelings about a situation that you completely neglect to see things from another viewpoint. As tough as it can be at times, do your best to put yourself in the other persons shoes to better understand where he or she is coming from. Does your co-worker feel so strongly about her suggestion because she has more experience than you? Is she standing firm in her approach because shes done it this way numerous tim es before? Of course, understanding other peoples opinions and being empathetic doesnt mean you always need to roll over and assume a position as the nicht auslagerbar office doormat. However, taking a moment to gain this insight will likely help you to eventually reach a compromise that better suits both of you. Another thing you can do to see a situation from all sides? Ask questions. Rather than retorting to your co-workers suggestion with proof of why your method is the way to go, ask a few questions. Why does she think her approach is better? What examples does she have of when that method worked in the past? Asking questions reiterates that youre attempting to have a productive discussion rather than an argument and is aya to help diffuse an otherwise heated interaction.4. Take a BreakNo matter how rational and level-headed you try to be, sometimes emotions just continue to escalate. You and the other person just feel so strongly about your respective positions, it becom es clear that youre not going to reach a productive agreement anytime soon. In situations like that, its best to just remove yourself for a little while. Return to your desk to work on something else for a bit or go for a short walk to clear your head and regain some composure. Taking a minute to step back and disconnect isnt only helpful when youre feeling angry or frustrated. It can be just as beneficial when youre feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or sad. Theres nothing like pressing pause to help you gain some fresh perspective on the issues at hand.5. Have PatienceYes, boosting your emotional intelligence is important. However, you also need to recognise that its a process that involves some practice and patience, since its not something that will dramatically change overnight. Be kind to yourself, avoid harsh judgments of the emotions that you feel, and give yourself some time to adjust to these new techniques for managing your reactions. Simply by taking the time to be aware of your own emotions, youre sure to see improvements little by little. Remember, its about progress over perfection. As buzzy as the word might sound, emotional intelligence is a critical part of being able to build and maintain relationships both professionally and personally. Fortunately, if its not something thats second nature to you, your emotional intelligence as well as how you use it to manage your responses is something that can be improved with a little time and elbow grease. Put these five key tips into action, and youre sure to see steady improvements in your emotional awareness, your reactions, and your relationships at work.

Your Camouflage Parachute Jobs for Veterans

Your Camouflage Parachute Jobs for VeteransYour Camouflage Parachute Jobs for VeteransHow to find a civilian job or contractor job after the military.If youre moving from a military career to a civilian one - whether after returning from mobilized duty as a reservist, separating from the service or retiring - youre facing more than a job change. Youre facing a whole new world. And especially in todays challenging job market, how well you prepare your switch from the service to civilian life will have a major effect on how smooth and quick that transition is.Indeed, this may not be an ideal moment to leave the service, Col. Dick Crampton, director of placement services for the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) told Ladders. Unless you have to get out, or you have a job locked in and ready to go to, I would be very careful about this, he said. This is probably not the best time to be getting out of the military right now.And for reservists coming off active duty, theres an even bigger barrier. Jim Deimer, a member of Ladders whos now a human-resources manager for the Department of Veterans Affairs, said employers often balk at the commitment asked of reservists. Deimer, a former infantry officer in the Army Reserve, had been in HR in the banking industry and was mobilized in 2005. That mobilization put me at a disadvantage re-entering the workplace, Deimer said. Employers would look at my resume and say, Every five years, youre going to be called up and asked to serve 18 months? A lots being asked of reservists.All this leaves service members on the cusp of the end of their careers feeling no small amount of trepidation. Chief Warrant Officer Trevor Dempsey, a Marine Corps personnel officer at Camp Pendleton, outside San Diego, is two years out from his retirement, and hes already begun to work on his transition plan. I have 18 years now, and I didnt want to wait until the last minute to departure looking for a job, he said. I wanted to get as muc h information and a head departure on things as I possibly could.Dempsey said hes landseen his peers linger too long. They waited until the last minute, or they waited until six months out or a year out to abflug collecting information. They didnt have enough to get them the job that me t their requirements. O r they ended up doing something completely different thats something that they hate and theyre looking for another job just as soon as they get the first job.The fastest year of your lifeSo start your move well before youre leaving the service. The best first step is to use whats available to you from the military to get the ball rolling. The services themselves provide a good first step, through the Transition Assistance Program, or TAP. TAP, a joint program of the Department of Defense, Department of Labor and Department of Veterans Affairs, offers classes and career counseling for service members who are preparing to leave the military.The Navy recommends getting TAP as ear ly as two years before separation, Crampton said. We say start at least a year out. The last year of active duty is the fastest year of your life. And unfortunately, you still have a full-time job, and as you know, looking for a job is a full-time job, so give yourself some time - I think the two most important things we tell them is one, start early, and two, involve your family.Demier went on to explain, They do a good job preparing you to get your resume together, mock vorstellungsgesprching and platzdeckchenting expectations. So you dont feel like, I won a Silver Star, and I cant get a job? Somethings wrong with that picture. While Deimer found a position quickly (see story, Page 2), landing your first civilian position could take months. If youre looking to move to a government civilian job - though the transition might be easier - it could take as long as six months. So its important to start your job search early as well even if its just to help you practice.I would say a good lead time is if you know youre getting out in 24 months - and thats it, theres no extension - to start interviewing, start getting some practice, Deimer said. It takes six months just to flesh out your interview style. As six months to separation approaches, you want something lined up.While interviewing is good, just interviewing for its own sake is a mistake, according to Mark Henderson, a retired Army colonel and one of the founders of Palladian International, an executive-search firm in Waynesboro, Va. One of the bad pieces of advice I hear people repeat is, Even if you dont think you want the job, go do the interview. I hear people say, I want to see if I can get a job offer out of this and then turn it down.I think thats a disservice to the individual and to the company they interview with. Know what you want, and go after that. Henderson said that reputable search firms wont charge to help prepare for interviews and will do mock interviews with candidates to help them get their interview style polished.The key to preparation for the job search, Henderson said, is honing a personal story that commercial managers can understand - an elevator pitch of your key strengths. They have to learn how to tell their story, and do it succinctly. In the commercial market, a hiring manager is asking, If I hire you, how are you going to make my company profitable? They can talk about how they managed budgets, how they were innovative.An army of one parte of the preparation is preparing for the cultural shock of the civilian job market.When I retired, I didnt get a call from the chief of staff of the Army asking me how my job search was going, Crampton said. Youve got to start thinking about yourself. And thats one difficult thing, too, because in the military, youre programmed - its the military first. Thats just the way it is. Well, the time comes - and this is a difficulty many have - when youve gotta start thinking about yourself, and were not programmed that way.Include your family in the preparation as well. Get your spouse involved in this because, you know, youve been a kollektiv for so long, especially for retirees, said Crampton. You know, the last thing you want to happen is - this happened to one guy, he interviewed for this job, and he did so well, and they called to invite him back, and his wife didnt know that he interviewed, and she thought it was telemarketing, and she said, We dont want any, and she hung up on them. And then a week later, theyre talking, and he said, Gee, honey, I forgot to tell you about this interview I had, and I really felt good about it, and Im surprised I havent heard from them. The family is important in transitioning.One aspect of the culture of the private-sector job market that often surprises veterans is the absence of any response. In the military, were used to, you correspond with someone, and they get back to you, whether its e-mail, whether its a letter, whether its a telephone. I had one guy tell me he was so angry because he was shooting out his resume and he wasnt hearing from anybody. And, of course, hes programmed thinking that way, and not understanding that IBM receives three million unsolicited resumes a year.A culture gapTheres also a cultural barrier to overcome with employers when explaining how your military experience is relevant. Part of the problem is a misconception about the nature of military service. While the past seven years have raised the profile of the military in the civilian world, less than one percent of the U.S. population has served in the military, and employers in the private sector may not have a good understanding of how the leadership and management skills of the military apply to the commercial world.A lot of the employers dont understand the functionality or the transferable skills we can bring to the organization, Deimer said. In my case, HR is pretty much HR wherever you go. But when youre talking to people in sales, logisti cs, general management, its hard to figure out what a supply-management officer did in the reserve or a Navy logistics officer or a quartermaster or even combat-arms people, who have had significant leadership opportunities.I think a lot of people dont understand who we are, Crampton said. There are false perceptions maybe about the military. Lieutenant General (William) Pagonis - who was responsible for logistics planning during Desert Shield and Desert Storm - went to work at retail giant Sears. Sears executives admitted after they hired him that they (had been) concerned, that theyd never hired anyone from the military at the higher levels at Sears. They used words like autocratic and not a team player (to describe the military culture), and they (asked), How would a Rambo fit in at our headquarters? Pagonis was a key player in engineering Sears turnaround.Companies get a flawed perception of what a military guy is capable of, added Henderson. Theyre much more flexible than em ployers believe. I was a colonel when I interviewed with my first company - they asked if I was going to be able to answer my own phoneCrossing that cultural divide will require translating your experience and skills into terms private employers will understand. It also may require educating employers about the scope of what military service entails. So many vets are afraid of listing military experience, or maybe any applicable experience that has a hint of the military to it, said Deimer. Because sometimes you get unintentionally discriminated against. Im not faulting anyone for it, its just the ignorance of folks, who once they know more about it they wont discard it as they have in the past.Locate those who have transitioned Networking is key to bridging those gaps. People youve worked with in the service whove preceded you into the civilian world are a good place to start - Deimer found his position through a former reserve colleague he had worked with 10 years ago. And ther e are several associations and organizations that can help you expand your network quickly. MOAA, for example, has made networking a major focus of its transition assistance efforts, with regional networking services available through its W eb site to members. We have over 400 chapters throughout the United States, Crampton said, and what were doing now with our networking program is trying to pull the chapters in to be involved with us, too. For example, we are having a networking meeting here in the Washington, D.C., area in April at the Army/Navy Country Club for the two local chapters here - for the Mt. Vernon chapter and the NoVA chapter - to get people together who are MOAA members who are in the workforce to be networking contacts. But also were bringing some employers. MOAA also holds large job fairs.Who is military friendly? Some organizations have been set up recently to specifically assist veterans job searches. HireAHero.org has set up a social networking site specific ally to connect veterans with a network of other veterans already in the work force, and with employers. And there are a number of other organizations that offer networking opportunities. (S ee Fatigues to Pinstripes Page 5.) There are a lot of organizations out there wanting and trying to help our service members as they get out, Crampton said. So, definitely take advantage of that. Theyre out there, you know, people are very patriotic, they care about our service members, and they want to help them.Some employers are military-friendly by nature. In the public sector - such as the Department of Veterans Affairs, where Deimer now works - theres a preference given to veterans in the selection of candidates. Veterans are given a five-point preference in the candidate-selection process for civil-service positions - 10 points if they have a service-related disability. But that just gets you higher on the list of candidates to interview. (See story, Page 4.)Also inherently veteran-fri endly are defense and government contractors - especially for those whove held a security clearance. Theres no problem in translating your military experience for them, in general. The DoD contractors out there, they want to see that stuff, Crampton said. Because who are they? Theyre just you, but a little bit older. And theyre looking for people like these men and women who are getting out, and they understand the lingo, and theyre saying, Dont hide it, let us know. But more and more private employers are seeing the benefit of military service. Deimer remembers speaking with an executive at corporate recruiter Korn/Ferry, They did a really nice article for clients on junior military officers, and how they developed significant leadership and management skills in the reserve. Not having been afforded those opportunities in the private sector, that really put them ahead. And it wasnt until a lot of CEOs read that article or became familiar with what junior military officers or care er military people bring to the table that now were starting to get some more opportunities for veterans.Perhaps the most important thing to bring to your preparation for transition is something core to military culture - a can-do attitude. Its just persistence, Deimer said. You cant give up.
