Workplace Application:
After this session, you will immediately be able to use tools discussed to more effectively match military job seekers with your open positions.
Just because your HVAC business is in land-locked Tucson, Arizona doesn't mean an "Anti-Submarine Warfare Control System Level II Technician" wouldn't be a great asset to your team. Making sense of "foreign" job titles and cryptic job codes on the typical military resume is hard enough. Trying to determine a service member's transferable skills based on a 5 minute conversation at a crowded job fair is even harder. This session will empower you with tools and techniques to be able to:
- Determine how military career fields correspond with your hiring needs;
- Understand the differences between officer and enlisted grades, including levels of responsibility and salary expectations; and
- Translate the veteran's Military Occupational Code and identify transferrable skills.
