MILITARY TRANSITION - THE KEY TO YOUR SUCCESS IS CHOOSING WISELY

Transitioning from the military to civilian status after a lifelong career, or even after a few years on active duty in the armed forces or National Guard is a daunting task; and many men and women in the military and recently discharged veterans are unprepared for this challenge. 

It requires a special talent and understanding to present acquired military skills, training, education and experience to resonate with corporate employers. It also requires the ability to quickly get up to speed on how corporate employers think, act and react in contrast to how business is conducted in the military.

Most important, you must learn how to leverage social media, establish a network, customize resumes, write cover letters, submit documents electronically, prepare for interviews, evaluate recruiters and much more.

I specialize in helping the military’s top leaders, engineers and technicians transition into top-tier and local companies, consulting firms and into government service. So if you are a Military Officer, Noncommissioned Officer, Technician, or a veteran looking to leverage your background and career in the non-military sector give me a call  to discuss how we can work together to make your transition a smooth sailing experience.

Preparing for a transition from a 30-year military career to the corporate world is a daunting challenge. 

Though I received the typical assistance from the numerous military TAP seminars and workshops, I knew that I needed more, especially with creating a resume. I talked with several career coaches / resume writers who specialize in helping military members like me transition to the corporate world—all of them promising the “standard” package. Then I stepped outside the box and turned to Perry. He quickly set himself far apart from all the others. He genuinely took the time to get to know me, my personal priorities and considered what I was looking for in a new career. He listened to my needs and immediately helped me identify my strengths and personal brand, as well as refine my objectives.

That’s not all—Perry inspired confidence in me and provided invaluable insight and feedback on the interview process and job searches and then worked tirelessly on expanding my network with an executive resume, biography and social media footprint. He brings it all—energy, enthusiasm, professionalism. If you are military and transitioning to the corporate world, do not settle on the standard promises and packages from the so-called career coaches that specialize in military transition to the corporate world. Perry Newman is absolutely the way to go—he listens to your needs and makes those needs a reality.
