Your Camouflage Parachute Jobs for Veterans

Your Camouflage Parachute Jobs for VeteransYour Camouflage Parachute Jobs for VeteransHow to find a civilian job or contractor job after the military.If youre moving from a military career to a civilian one - whether after returning from mobilized duty as a reservist, separating from the service or retiring - youre facing more than a job change. Youre facing a whole new world. And especially in todays challenging job market, how well you prepare your switch from the service to civilian life will have a major effect on how smooth and quick that transition is.Indeed, this may elend be an ideal moment to leave the service, Col. Dick Crampton, director of placement services for the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) told Ladders. Unless you have to get out, or you have a job locked in and ready to go to, I would be very careful about this, he said. This is probably not the best time to be getting out of the military right now.And for reservists coming off active duty, ther es an even bigger barrier. Jim Deimer, a member of Ladders whos now a human-resources manager for the Department of Veterans Affairs, said employers often balk at the commitment asked of reservists. Deimer, a former infantry officer in the Army Reserve, had been in HR in the banking industry and was mobilized in 2005. That mobilization put me at a disadvantage re-entering the workplace, Deimer said. Employers would look at my resume and say, Every five years, youre going to be called up and asked to serve 18 months? A lots being asked of reservists.All this leaves service members on the cusp of the end of their careers feeling no small amount of trepidation. Chief Warrant Officer Trevor Dempsey, a Marine Corps personnel officer at Camp Pendleton, outside San Diego, is two years out from his retirement, and hes already begun to work on his transition plan. I have 18 years now, and I didnt want to wait until the last minute to abflug looking for a job, he said. I wanted to get as much information and a head departure on things as I possibly could.Dempsey said hes seen his peers linger too long. They waited until the last minute, or they waited until six months out or a year out to start collecting information. They didnt have enough to get them the job that me t their requirements. O r they ended up doing something completely different thats something that they hate and theyre looking for another job just as soon as they get the first job.The fastest year of your lifeSo start your move well before youre leaving the service. The best first step is to use whats available to you from the military to get the ball rolling. The services themselves provide a good first step, through the Transition Assistance Program, or TAP. TAP, a joint program of the Department of Defense, Department of Labor and Department of Veterans Affairs, offers classes and career counseling for service members who are preparing to leave the military.The Navy recommends getting TAP as early as two years before separation, Crampton said. We say start at least a year out. The last year of active duty is the fastest year of your life. And unfortunately, you still have a full-time job, and as you know, looking for a job is a full-time job, so give yourself some time - I think the two most important things we tell them is one, start early, and two, involve your family.Demier went on to explain, They do a good job preparing you to get your resume together, mock bewerbungsgesprching and setting expectations. So you dont feel like, I won a Silver Star, and I cant get a job? Somethings wrong with that picture. While Deimer found a position quickly (see story, Page 2), landing your first civilian position could take months. If youre looking to move to a government civilian job - though the transition might be easier - it could take as long as six months. So its important to start your job search early as well even if its just to help you practice.I would say a good lead time is if you know youre getting out in 24 months - and thats it, theres no extension - to start interviewing, start getting some practice, Deimer said. It takes six months just to flesh out your interview style. As six months to separation approaches, you want something lined up.While interviewing is good, just interviewing for its own sake is a mistake, according to Mark Henderson, a retired Army colonel and one of the founders of Palladian International, an executive-search firm in Waynesboro, Va. One of the bad pieces of advice I hear people repeat is, Even if you dont think you want the job, go do the interview. I hear people say, I want to see if I can get a job offer out of this and then turn it down.I think thats a disservice to the individual and to the company they interview with. Know what you want, and go after that. Henderson said that reputable search firms wont charge to help prepare for interviews and will do mock interviews with candidates to help them get their intervi ew style polished.The key to preparation for the job search, Henderson said, is honing a personal story that commercial managers can understand - an elevator pitch of your key strengths. They have to learn how to tell their story, and do it succinctly. In the commercial market, a hiring manager is asking, If I hire you, how are you going to make my company profitable? They can talk about how they managed budgets, how they were innovative.An army of one Part of the preparation is preparing for the cultural shock of the civilian job market.When I retired, I didnt get a call from the chief of staff of the Army asking me how my job search was going, Crampton said. Youve got to start thinking about yourself. And thats one difficult thing, too, because in the military, youre programmed - its the military first. Thats just the way it is. Well, the time comes - and this is a difficulty many have - when youve gotta start thinking about yourself, and were not programmed that way.Include y our family in the preparation as well. Get your spouse involved in this because, you know, youve been a team for so long, especially for retirees, said Crampton. You know, the last thing you want to happen is - this happened to one guy, he interviewed for this job, and he did so well, and they called to invite him back, and his wife didnt know that he interviewed, and she thought it was telemarketing, and she said, We dont want any, and she hung up on them. And then a week later, theyre talking, and he said, Gee, honey, I forgot to tell you about this interview I had, and I really felt good about it, and Im surprised I havent heard from them. The family is important in transitioning.One aspect of the culture of the private-sector job market that often surprises veterans is the absence of any response. In the military, were used to, you correspond with someone, and they get back to you, whether its e-mail, whether its a letter, whether its a telephone. I had one guy tell me he was s o angry because he was shooting out his resume and he wasnt hearing from anybody. And, of course, hes programmed thinking that way, and not understanding that IBM receives three million unsolicited resumes a year.A culture gapTheres also a cultural barrier to overcome with employers when explaining how your military experience is relevant. Part of the problem is a misconception about the nature of military service. While the past seven years have raised the profile of the military in the civilian world, less than one percent of the U.S. population has served in the military, and employers in the private sector may not have a good understanding of how the leadership and management skills of the military apply to the commercial world.A lot of the employers dont understand the functionality or the transferable skills we can bring to the organization, Deimer said. In my case, HR is pretty much HR wherever you go. But when youre talking to people in sales, logistics, general management, its hard to figure out what a supply-management officer did in the reserve or a Navy logistics officer or a quartermaster or even combat-arms people, who have had significant leadership opportunities.I think a lot of people dont understand who we are, Crampton said. There are false perceptions maybe about the military. Lieutenant General (William) Pagonis - who was responsible for logistics planning during Desert Shield and Desert Storm - went to work at retail giant Sears. Sears executives admitted after they hired him that they (had been) concerned, that theyd never hired anyone from the military at the higher levels at Sears. They used words like autocratic and not a team player (to describe the military culture), and they (asked), How would a Rambo fit in at our headquarters? Pagonis was a key player in engineering Sears turnaround.Companies get a flawed perception of what a military guy is capable of, added Henderson. Theyre much more flexible than employers believe. I was a colonel when I interviewed with my first company - they asked if I was going to be able to answer my own phoneCrossing that cultural divide will require translating your experience and skills into terms private employers will understand. It also may require educating employers about the scope of what military service entails. So many vets are afraid of listing military experience, or maybe any applicable experience that has a hint of the military to it, said Deimer. Because sometimes you get unintentionally discriminated against. Im not faulting anyone for it, its just the ignorance of folks, who once they know more about it they wont discard it as they have in the past.Locate those who have transitioned Networking is key to bridging those gaps. People youve worked with in the service whove preceded you into the civilian world are a good place to start - Deimer found his position through a former reserve colleague he had worked with 10 years ago. And there are several associatio ns and organizations that can help you expand your network quickly. MOAA, for example, has made networking a major focus of its transition assistance efforts, with rtlich networking services available through its W eb site to members. We have over 400 chapters throughout the United States, Crampton said, and what were doing now with our networking program is trying to pull the chapters in to be involved with us, too. For example, we are having a networking meeting here in the Washington, D.C., area in April at the Army/Navy Country Club for the two local chapters here - for the Mt. Vernon chapter and the NoVA chapter - to get people together who are MOAA members who are in the workforce to be networking contacts. But also were bringing some employers. MOAA also holds large job fairs.Who is military friendly? Some organizations have been set up recently to specifically assist veterans job searches. HireAHero.org has set up a social networking site specifically to connect veterans w ith a network of other veterans already in the work force, and with employers. And there are a number of other organizations that offer networking opportunities. (S ee Fatigues to Pinstripes Page 5.) There are a lot of organizations out there wanting and trying to help our service members as they get out, Crampton said. So, definitely take advantage of that. Theyre out there, you know, people are very patriotic, they care about our service members, and they want to help them.Some employers are military-friendly by nature. In the public sector - such as the Department of Veterans Affairs, where Deimer now works - theres a preference given to veterans in the selection of candidates. Veterans are given a five-point preference in the candidate-selection process for civil-service positions - 10 points if they have a service-related disability. But that just gets you higher on the list of candidates to interview. (See story, Page 4.)Also inherently veteran-friendly are defense and gove rnment contractors - especially for those whove held a security clearance. Theres no problem in translating your military experience for them, in general. The DoD contractors out there, they want to see that stuff, Crampton said. Because who are they? Theyre just you, but a little bit older. And theyre looking for people like these men and women who are getting out, and they understand the lingo, and theyre saying, Dont hide it, let us know. But more and more private employers are seeing the benefit of military service. Deimer remembers speaking with an executive at corporate recruiter Korn/Ferry, They did a really nice article for clients on juniorin military officers, and how they developed significant leadership and management skills in the reserve. Not having been afforded those opportunities in the private sector, that really put them ahead. And it wasnt until a lot of CEOs read that article or became familiar with what junior military officers or career military people bring to the table that now were starting to get some more opportunities for veterans.Perhaps the most important thing to bring to your preparation for transition is something core to military culture - a can-do attitude. Its just persistence, Deimer said. You cant give up.

How to Retain the Legacy Knowledge of Financial Consultants Management Resources

How to Retain the Legacy Knowledge of Financial Consultants Management ResourcesHow to Retain the Legacy Knowledge of Financial Consultants Management ResourcesMany organizations hire financial consultants and other interim professionals to help them execute complex projects that require specialized expertise. Business systems and performance improvement, taxation, risk and compliance, and finance optimization initiatives are some examples.A consultants impact on your organization can last well beyond the duration of a specific assignment. Consultants typically have diverse professional experience that allows them to lend unique perspectives to solving business problems. They know of different ways to tackle challenges and manage change, and can pass their knowledge and ideas onto your team.To promote that schriftart of knowledge-sharing, and help ensure the consulting engagement is a rewarding experience for everyone involved, consider applying the following strategies.At the beginn ing of the project Communicate the details of the assignmentManagers need to make it clear to the consultant what the organization wants to accomplish. That means good communication is paramount.Explain the project details and your expectations clearly. Lack of clarity around goals can undermine the consultants productivity and leave that partie feeling detached from the organization and its objectives from the outset of the initiative.Dont overlook the work culture factorEngaging financial consultants can be an effective way for your firm to operate at full capacity when internal resources are limited or otherwise unavailable. But this strategy is only effective if you take the time to integrate these professionals into the work environment, just as you would a new employee.If they are going to achieve the objectives youve set before them, its critical for consultants to understand your workplace culture and have an opportunity to build camaraderie with your employees - even if it s only for the short term.During the project Consider the consultants professional goalsProfessionals develop new skills and broaden their professional experience by pursuing project work. And many accounting and finance professionals become consultants specifically because they seek diverse assignments and a wide range of work experiences.These are reasons it can be worthwhile to explain to consultants how opportunities with your firm can help them to develop professionally. Demonstrating that youre interested in the consultants goals as a professional also helps to bolster your firms reputation as an employer of choice. Remember, consultants have professional networks, too, and they could one day help you make connections to new hires and other valuable contacts.Make sure your star players are in the gameHigh-potential succession candidates in your organization should have consistent and frequent interaction with your consultant. Identify staff who have worked hard to motivate and inspire their colleagues and kept important initiatives on track. These are the people who will absorb the most from financial consultants and other interim and project professionals by collaborating closely with them throughout an initiative.As the project comes to a close Set up an information downloadAsk the consultant to share key learnings with your staff when the project begins to wind down. For instance, if you worked with a consultant to implement a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, that person could provide insights about the system and help staff members get up to speed on it. These efforts can also help your employees to adapt better to change.Establish a mentoring programConsultants are experts in their field, and theres a good chance that they had a mentor at some point during their career. So, they might be keen to pay that experience forward. And a mentoring program, whether formal or informal, can be an effective way for expert consultants to transfer t heir critical knowledge to your staff and promote best practices.Be strategic about the employees you include in mentorships, and specify what you want them to take away from the arrangement. For example, an up-and-coming financial executive could learn what it takes to lead the finance function from an interim CFO. Business systems analysts can gain leading-edge insights from a consultant with proficiency in multiple systems.Schedule feedback sessionsSet clear milestones for team members assigned to work with or be mentored by your consultant. Make a point to meet regularly with the consultant and your full-time employees to be certain these goals are met. These progress check-ins will give you greater confidence that the intellectual capital the project professional brings to your organization will remain with your team long after the assignment ends.Ask the consultant to share independent insights with youOne of the key benefits of working with consultants is tapping their indepe ndent insights. Sometimes, it takes an outsider to identify and catalyze the change an organization truly needs.Consultants with a strong background in the finance function can assist CFOs and other finance leaders by taking an objective look and identifying issues that may have been missed before due to organizational blind spots. So, before consultants complete their assignments for your company, take the time to meet with them to gather their insights.Always keep an eye toward the futureWhen working with consultants, dont take a short-term or siloed view toward these engagements. You might want to tap a consultants expertise again someday, so its important to lay solid groundwork during the first assignment to support what might become an ongoing work relationship.There is also the potential that the consultant could one day become a full-time member of your team. When you hire a talented and experienced interim professional who is already familiar with the expectations and uniqu e culture of your firm, that person can start making valuable contributions to your business faster.Looking to hire a consultant?

Air Force Pilot Physical Medical Examination Standards

Air Force Pilot Physical Medical Examination StandardsAir Force Pilot Physical Medical Examination StandardsThe Air Force pilot profession is a highly competitive field. Not only is it difficult to qualify for physically, but academically as well. Some of the best students in the Air Force Academy, ROTC Units, and OCS programs make it into the pilot programs however, notlage everyone can join the Air Force. In fact, there are several physical medical conditions that can disqualify you from flying training (all classes), or continued flying duty (classes II or III) unless a waiver is granted. Acute medical problems, injuries, and some therapies are cause for withholding certification for flying training or temporarily restricting an individual from flying until the problem is resolved. These standards are not all inclusive and other diseases or defects can be cause for rejection based upon the judgment of the examining flight surgeon. Conditions That Are Hazards to Flying Safety A ny condition that in the opinion of the flight surgeon presents a hazard to flying safety, the individuals health, or mission completion is cause for temporary disqualification for flying duties. To be considered waiverable, any disqualifying condition should meet the following criteria Not pose a risk of sudden incapacitation.Pose minimal potential for subtle performance decrement, particularly with regard to the higher senses.Be resolved or be stable and be expected to remain so under the stresses of the aviation environment.If the possibility of progression or recurrence exists, the first symptoms or signs must be easily detectable and not pose a risk to the individual or the safety of others.Cannot require exotic tests, regular invasive procedures, or frequent absences to monitor for stability or progression. Must be compatible with the performance of sustained flying operations in austere environments.These conditions can range from being outside the height/weight standards of the Air Force to genetic conditions in the heart, lungs, sinuses, or poor vision.However, applicants who have had PRK and LASIK eye surgery are no longer automatically disqualified from flight training. You can now enter into the training pipeline and stay a pilot with these two laser eye treatments. Flying Classes Flying Class I qualifies for selection into Enhanced Flight Screening and commencement of undergraduate pilot training (UPT).Flying Class IA qualifies for selection and commencement of undergraduate naval gator training.Flying Class II qualifies undergraduate flight training students, rated officers, and physician applicants for Aerospace Medicine Primary training.Flying Class III qualifies individuals for non-rated duties in ASC 9D, 9E and 9W.Physiologic training standards (Attachment 8) qualifies individuals for non-rated duties in ASC 9G. Categorical Flying Class II qualifies rated officers for duty in certain restricted aircraft categories.Flying Class IIA qualifi es rated officers for duty in low-G aircraft (tanker, transport, bomber, T-43, and T-1).Flying Class IIB qualifies rated officers for duty in non-ejection seat aircraft.Flying Class IIC qualifies rated officers for aviation duty as specified in the remarks section of AF fasson 1042, and as annotated on the AMS, SF 88, Report of Medical Examination, or AF Form 1446, Medical Examination - Flying Personnel. These waivers are coordinated with HQ USAF/XOOA. Required Medical Examinations Personnel, including personnel of the ARC, are ordered to participate in frequent and regular aerial flight (Periodic Flying, Long).Flying personnel, including personnel of the ARC, are suspended from flying status for 12 months or more for medical reasons, applying for return to flying duties (Periodic Flying, long for ARC and PHA with AMS for AD/AF).Flying personnel are ordered to appear before a Flying Evaluation Board (FEB). (See AFI 11-401, Flight Management). (Periodic flying (long) for ARC and PHA with AMS for AD/AF). All members on flying status, annually, within 3 months preceding the last day of the birth month or 6 months for special circumstances, such as permanent change of station (PCS), temporary duty (TDY), retirement or waiver renewal, etc.Return to flying status after a break in flying duties. Vision requirements alone tend to hamper many pilot candidates, but other medical issues can stop a candidate in his/her tracks. Sometimes these conditions are genetic and the reason behind not being able to join is written typically by people not surviving the rigors of the training due to these medical issues. Not passing flight school tactics is the final challenge for people who academically, physically, and medically qualify. The learning curve is steep. Being a good student with above average hand-eye coordination is also required to be successful.

10 Ways to Make the Most Out of a Conference

10 Ways to Make the Most Out of a Conference10 Ways to Make the Most Out of a ConferenceAttending conferences might be one of the best things you can do for your career. Youll learn about industry trends, gain some new skills, and make all kinds of new connections. (And yes, theres usually travel and free meals involved.)But all those speakers, sessions, contacts, and conversations can also be overwhelming. Besides bringing boatloads of business cards and collecting them from other people, what else should you be planning on when you have an event coming up? From prepping beforehand to having a great time while youre there, heres what you need to know to make the most of your next conference.Before the Conference1. Gain VisibilityA great way to maximize your conference experience is to participate in some way- like being a presenter, session facilitator, or committee volunteer. (When you see the initial posting for the conference, check out if there are these options available, or em ail the conference organizer directly to ask.) While youre there, youll be among hundreds or thousands of other participants, but if you can take on a visible role, thats an easy way to tischset yourself apart from the crowd. 2. Build Stronger RelationshipsA conference is the time to meet new people, but its also a time to build on the relationships you already have. If you know of people you want to reconnect with or get to know better who will be attending- clients, vendors, friends-of-friends- reach out a few weeks before the conference to set up a time to meet for coffee or a meal while youre at the event.At the Conference3. Get BriefedA lot of conferences try to be extra welcoming to newbies and will host a first-timers briefing. You definitely want to build this type of session into your schedule- not only to get the scoop on things, but also to meet other participants who, just like you, are a little uncertain and looking to form some new relationships.4. Choose the Right Ses sionsAt most conferences, there will be an abundance of sessions to choose from- many more than youll be able to attend So when youre plotting your schedule, take a look at the conference as a whole. Look at all the sessions and events youre interested in, then make sure youre getting to attend a range of topics, skill-building sessions, and social events, and still allowing for some down time.And if you find yourself in a session that isnt quite what you thought it welches going to be, dont feel bad about skipping out and going to a different one. A conference is all about using your time wisely and getting the most out of all thats there.5. Remember What You LearnWith days full of speakers and sessions, theres a lot to take in- and youre probably not going to remember all of it when you get home. So, collect your notes and information in a way that makes it easy to access when you return to the office. Regardless of your note-taking format of choice (pen and paper, laptop, tablet, smartphone), at the end of each session you attend, write down the three key takeaways and any follow-up you want to do on the topic or with the speakers. This will help jog your memory and give you specific to-dos when you get back to work.6. Connect With the SpeakersThe speakers and panelists at any conference are likely key experts in your field- read people who you want to know. So dont be afraid to ask questions or hang around (even as the last person) at a session to say hello, tell them you loved the presentation, and grab their business cards. And if you dont get a chance to ask your question in person, you can always follow up by asking them on Twitter.7. Schmooze at the Social EventsDefinitely make time to attend the conferences social events- theyre a great opportunity to connect with people in a more relaxed setting. (Hint These events are often more important than the sessions) And dont be afraid to linger even the event is over- you dont want cut off a great conversat ion with someone just to be on time to your next session.8. Put Away the SmartphoneYou may be thinking But- I have so many emails waiting or They told me to tweet about the event But heres the thing Youre at a conference to have in-person interaction, and you dont want your electronic devices to be a barrier to making those connections. So while you dont have to disconnect completely, put the phone away when youre waiting for a workshop to begin or taking a break at the coffee bar, and give yourself a chance to strike up conversations with the other attendees around you.After the Conference9. Friendly Follow-upAt the conference, you were collecting business cards, new Facebook friends, and Twitter followers. Afterward, you its time to do sohonigweinhing with them. Within a week of returning from the event, send a personal follow-up to everyone you met to let them know you enjoyed meeting them. Also set up a phone call or face-to-face meeting with anyone you specifically want to do b usiness or build a relationship with.10. Pay it ForwardYou gained a lot of new information, inspiration, and contacts at the conference, and one of the best things you can do with those resources is to share them with your fellow co-workers, colleagues, and friends. Send out videos of the sessions you thought were particularly valuable, give a talk about something you learned at your next staff meeting, and tell your boss about some of the interesting contacts you met. Youll spread your new skills and knowledge- and hopefully your colleagues will reciprocate the next time they go to a great event.Photo courtesy of University of Exeter.

How to Get a Promotion (Without Sacrificing Your Life to the Grind)

How to Get a Promotion (Without Sacrificing Your Life to the Grind) As the sayinggoes, its better to work smarter than it is to work harder. Believe it or not, those words also apply to climbing your way up the corporate ladder.
