All Transitioning Service Members 🆘 In my conversations with many individuals transitioning, especially those in the Hiring Our Heroes Co-Horts, a common concern keeps surfacing – the anxiety of not hearing back from potential opportunities. Here are some valuable tips based on my experience: - DON'T WAIT FOR THE CALL. - Make a good first impression by engaging with genuine interest. - Avoid just asking "Do you have something for me?" - Be proactive in your outreach efforts. If someone doesn't respond after a few attempts, consider connecting with someone else. - Be PROACTIVE, not REACTIVE. Having been in your position recently, I understand the challenges. Engage in various activities like #networking, #hiringevents, #applications, and informational talks, but remember, it's not just about putting your #resume out there and waiting. Diversify your connections and take the time to build meaningful relationships. Remember, the process takes time. At Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning and other companies, we review resumes individually on the landing page, not through an ATS system. With teams ranging 1-20 sorting through hundreds of resumes, it's crucial to be patient and proactive in your approach. Keep pushing forward and trust the process. #TransitioningMilitary #JobSearchTips #Military #Hiring #HVAC

I've wanted to share this post for awhile. If you're part of the slew of industry #layoffs and still looking for work, consider becoming a federal employee! Especially if you're in HR, STEM, cyber, or any other mission critical occupations, the government needs you and can likely offer additional incentives to recruit you: https://lnkd.in/gXz7-r7x Fed jobs may not always pay as well as the private sector. But they offer stellar benefits, including generous leave, health/dental/vision, a pension (what?!), flexible schedules and often much greater job security than industry. Many federal jobs are outside the D.C. area all over the country, so you don't necessarily need to move to the Swamp. And as a public servant, you're helping deliver on a bigger mission for the American people (*cue patriotic music*). Sure there are downsides like any job (can we say: shutdowns), but overall it's a good gig! If you're not sure where to start, USAJOBS.gov is the place! They've added a lot of guidance to help folks navigate the process, which is admittedly still a little clunky. And you can check agency websites directly if you know what kind of mission you want to support (e.g., healthcare, Veterans, military families). It may take some time to hear back after you apply. But they will get back to you. Throw your hat in! 

Why Aren’t You Getting Hired? If you’re struggling to find a job, you’re likely facing one of two problems: 1) You’re not landing any interviews or 2) You’re getting interviews, but they don’t go anywhere. Unfortunately, this is the case for many people searching for jobs right now. There is always competition in the job market, even during stable economic conditions. But with ongoing layoffs, fewer job openings, and plenty of candidates, hiring managers have become even more selective about who to place their bets on. https://lnkd.in/ekC6nqXX #Xplora #XploraSearch #HBR #RecruitingReadoftheWeek #TheRightTeamRightNow
