melissa Do you know.....that Glassdoor.com has a Facebook app, allowing you to check anonymous employer ratings AND job search. Great way to research before an interview or to do some "competitive intelligence," which I wrote about on careerealism.com last month.

One thing I have done is request that such places send me a press release and allow me to turn it into free publicity for trhe firm. However, I can actually do that as I am a small business columnist. But, even if you are not, you can simply refer send the PR to www.budurl.com/TheBIGlbuzzmachine and someone will do the conversion for you.

JenG I just took a "transition assistance" class, which is designed to help people retiring or separating from the military find a cilivian job. The section on writing a resume was interesting: now civilian resumes are supposed to sound like military performance reports. Made me realize that maybe I'd have a career in writing resumes--it's taken me nearly 15 years to get really good at concisely describing the impact of my actions.

Melissa,
From my brief experience in the class, the folks leaving the military could use the help! I don't personally see the transition to the other side of the fence very dramatic, but apparently some do. It's great they have someone to turn to.

Hi again Jen,
Maybe we can put something togethter to help your class, as in a teleseminar? Would that we possible?
Do you have access to a family support centre? I worked at a military family resource centre for almost ten yrs.
I facilitated workshops, did interview coaching for outgoing military members and re-wrote resumes. I have many resources.
Feel free to email me privately at teacher10@hotmail.com
