Career Health Check

Most mature Job Seekers have found employment themselves in the past and in most cases, many will continue to find employment if they have strong personal and professional networks.  For those that don’t have these active networks, applying and competing with other job seekers is significantly more competitive than it was 18 months ago.  The game has changed.

Greater competitiveness doesn’t only relate to the areas of getting a CV/Résumé upgraded, or a new qualification.  It is also being competitive in the areas of:

• knowing exactly the type of job you’re looking for
• understanding military and commercial workplace cultural differences
• structuring your application for Automatic CV Tracking Systems
• targeting your application for every job
• understanding what happens in the job selection interview process
• knowing all your non-military transferable skills
• know multiple professional achievements
• talk about achievements without using military language
• know the difference between a typical, situational and behavioural question
• negotiating a great starting salary

If you’d like to see how you stack up in these areas, take our free Career Health Check and know what you need to do to avoid job search disappointment and erosion of your self confidence.
