School? Career? Help!

Xposted at LeftFace I was at the MOAA Job Fair yesterday. Now that is the place to find a job if you are military (and you don't need to be a member of MOAA or an officer) and about to retire or leaving the military (son, you MUST come out next year!) But for me, well I don't have that kind of experience or skill set - but it still made an impression. They had a resume critique panel, and a very pleasant Lt. Col (ret) went through my resume with me and gave me some great pointers to

“Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th.” – Julie Andrews If job search requires anything, it is certainly perseverance. Endless resume submissions, numerous interview, and where are the jobs? But you need to keep with it and look in the right places.

2 Stars The extra on self esteem is barely worth it
This 15 minute dvd uses as an example a high school jock jerk who wants a summer job to get a “sweet ride to meet girls” who actually says this to a potential employer. He writes his resume in red marker while letting his sandwhich spill on it, greets the potential employer with “Dude” which he comes to unannounced.

You will learn next to nothing unless the person who needs a job is more dense then this guy or worse.

There is a dvd entitled “Dude, Where’s my job” which is the exact same thing from the same company, tmwmedia.

There is an extra 30 min on self-esteem that is much better, more professional & feels right at home in a classroom. It’s mostly all basics, but for anyone with self-esteem issues, it reminds you that when you’re more confident, people around you are more relaxed as well & no company is going to hire you if your attitude is low or poor because it will reflect poorly on them.

Try seeing if your local library has this first.
