Why Transitioning Military Members and Veterans Need an Online Brand

When you think of enlisting in the US military, serving as piano player in the Air Force may not traditionally come to mind. But even the nontraditional military journey and transition is a part of you and your brand as a veteran.Resume building, keyword optimized CV’s, and applying for jobs is about 10% of job seeking. The other 90% is building deep and meaningful connections through networking – and most successful veterans who have found fulfilling careers will agree that that is how they have landed that dream job, nailed their next promotion, or found more money in their pocket. But networking isn’t all face-to-face anymore, no matter the industry. A hybrid approach where you are creating and posting content online to show connections what you are about, starts with coming out of your shell. So, don’t be a hermit: talk about your journey, show your vulnerabilities, and engage with other veteran content to be your most successful self in the job search. Hosted on Acast.
