Please welcome Alicia Mock from Onward to Opportunity. Onward to Opportunity (O2O) is a no-cost industry-focused and validated career skills program that connects our military community to high-demand careers in Customer Service Excellence, Information Technology, and Business Management.
We can all agree that we’re excited to put 2020 behind us and look ahead to a fresh start in 2021. It’s also an opportune time to take a new approach to your job search. Today, I want to explore five key topics that will get your professional brand on track in the new year.
It’s finally 2021, and I think I can speak for everyone when I say we are glad 2020 is in the rearview mirror.
Just because the year has changed, though, does not mean the trying circumstances of the past year have relented. Last year brought unprecedented hardships across all walks of life, and those challenges to our health, economy, and way of life will persist for the foreseeable future.
What do you want to achieve in the new year? Are you looking for a new career? For inspiration? For peace of mind?
After an unprecedented and challenging year, we are all looking for positivity in 2021. At the USO, a nonprofit organization supporting service members and military families for almost 80 years, we want to help military spouses embrace the change and hope of a new year. Through a series of virtual events, we can help military spouses focus on their dreams while staying safe during the ongoing pandemic.
It’s that time again. Your service member received orders for another PCS, and on the neverending to-do list that accompanies the move is “find a new job.” You feel the dread and the flood of worry about having yet another gap on your resume.
I must have PCS on the brain because my family’s next relocation is just a few months around the corner. Thankfully, I can take my laptop and my job with me this time, but I’ve been in that uncertain situation before. It can be daunting to face job searching as a military spouse when we relocate so often.
‘Twas the night before your job search, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, just your computer mouse. The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, and companies are still hiring, so do not despair. The resumes weren’t generic but tailored instead, while visions of your dream job danced in your head.
And you in your blazer, and I in my slacks, we had just settled in after our Zoom meeting chat.
Learn from an award-winning author WHY you should adopt a MARKETING mindset FIRST during your career transition, before messing around with your resume… again.
Gaps in your resume aren’t a showstopper when it comes to being a military spouse. Join Kayla on this week’s Milspouse Empowerment Moment to talk all things resume.
Today we will hear from Kara Varner about her resume writing business and then we have a sponsored interview with First Command’s CEO and Associate Director.
