Translating the Military Resume and Interviewing Tips
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 webinar will empower you with tools and techniques to be able to:- Map your hiring needs to military skill sets
- Translate the veteran's Military Occupational Code
- Ask great questions that will more directly help you determine the service member's transferable skills
- Avoid a lawsuit (also known as "questions you should never ask a veteran during the hiring process")
