Welcome to Catterick 2014

So far this year we have organised and run four successful events including one here at catterick earlier in the year, and I am expecting today’s event to continue the trend. Events have been well attended and have attracted a lot of very positive feedback.

As usual, today’s event is about bringing together the Armed Forces community with the commercial world and facilitating one-to-one engagement with a wide range of exhibitors who are not only keen to attract potential employees and/or promote interest in training opportunities, but also to offer a wide range of transitional/resettlement advice to attendees. this means this event comes at a crucial time, not

just for those leaving the Military via natural resettlement, but also those who are being made redundant.

today provides a great platform for those personnel in transition to embrace the employment and training opportunities plus the variety of resettlement help, support and advice available – including cV-writing assistance from BFrS’s cV expert, Sian richardson.

If you are interested in having your cV seen by all of today’s employers, please drop a copy off at our cV drop at the reception desk or email it to [email protected].

Whether you are just starting to consider your next career move, your departure from the military is imminent, you have already left, or you are a reservist, I urge you to take full advantage of the expertise here today and the networking opportunities available. the saying, “ It’s not what you know, but who you know” is very true and is worth bearing in mind when making your next move. this event is a great opportunity to build your network – so please leave all reservations at the door and approach as many exhibitors as you can to get the most out of the day.

Finally, we are very interested in hearing what you think about our events and services, so please do let us hear what you have to say, whether it be to one of our team at the event or retrospectively by emailing [email protected] with the subject “BFrS catterick careers Event”. Your feedback is important.

thank you and enjoy today’s event.

Get the Most from Today’s Event

today’s event provides a huge variety of possibilities to someone making the transition from Military to civilian life. these include employment, training, networking and support opportunities for Armed Forces personnel during all stages of their resettlement and beyond.

We have compiled this short guide offering proven tips and advice to ensure you get the absolute most from this event.

1. Use the MapMounted in the entrance area there is a large map of today’s event. use this to plan your visit around all of the event’s exhibitors to ensure you do not miss out on anything.

2. Approach new opportunities with an open mindYou may have an idea of where you want your next career to be, although the skills you have may suit you for a role you may not have even considered. By approaching all opportunities with an open mind you may find your dream job is in an industry you may have previously overlooked.

For example, everyone knows Harrods is a luxury retailer. But to operate they also need employees skilled in logistics, functions, catering, shop fitting, security, accounting etc.

3. Make the best first impressionWhen approaching an exhibitor, think about the best way to sell yourself and your skills. Find out what they are looking for and consider why you are the right candidate for them. Ask questions about the role – as well as being the right person for the job, the job must also be right for you.

use this event as an opportunity to talk to the exhibitors and find out what it is like to work there from an insider’s perspective.

4. Take notesnetworking is at the heart of all BFrS career Events. If you take the contact details and business cards from people you speak to today you can research their company websites. the back of this guide contains details of today’s exhibitors so please refer to these, too. the people you meet today could become instrumental in forging your future career.

5. Get free CV helpMilitary personnel often struggle to capture their skills and experience in a civilian cV. one-to-one cV writing assistance is available at today’s event and we strongly suggest you take your cV along for some free professional guidance.

6. Play the long gameMany employers will be planning future projects and are on the lookout to recruit suitable candidates to help complete them. If they have no current opportunities that interest you (or you are not available to start work immediately) ask about future projects that may be in the pipeline.

Ask exhibitors about what will make you more attractive to them as a prospective employee so you can plan your next steps and training accordingly.

7. Have funtoday is about enjoying yourself, meeting many new people and finding new career and training opportunities that may lead to long-term careers. Have fun, be confident and approach any and all exhibitors.

14 A r t I c L E S & A d V I c E

Writing Your CV

Firstly, what is your CV for?the purpose of your cV is to quickly communicate to an employer that you are the right person to help take their company to the next level. Hr departments spend an average of 30 seconds looking at each cV. With such a short time frame, the purpose of your cV is to catch the reader’s attention and get your foot in the door. Imagine your cV to be a huge billboard poster with letters 10-feet tall stating precisely why you are right for that particular job.

Many employers actively seek the skills and qualities held by Armed Forces personnel. However, Service leavers often find it difficult to translate their Military training and experience into a language that civilian employers understand.

Far too often highly competent Service leavers miss out on opportunities because their cVs do not properly reflect all that they can bring to an employer. to showcase the many specialist and transferable skills a career in the Armed Forces has given you, you must create a cV that speaks the professional language of the civilian workplace.

De-Militarise your CVthe Military has its own jargon that someone who has never served would struggle to understand. For examples of this, think of what rank titles such as “Lcpl” would mean to someone outside the Military. Likewise, cVs are generally written in a type of formal “business” language which you will need to understand to write a winning cV.

the first step is to de-militarise your cV. Assume whoever will read your cV knows nothing about the Military and write it accordingly. A “corporal” may translate to “team Leader” and, depending on the type of work you did in the Military, you may need to research the equivalent civilian terminologies.

For the most part though, you are looking to showcase your skills in a simple way that anyone will be able to understand. If in doubt, ask a civilian friend to read it before you send it to an employer.

Find your Transferable Skillstransferable skills include team-working, people management and problem-solving skills – the type of skills that are valuable to any workplace.

By showcasing your transferable skills, an employer will know that although you performed different tasks in the Armed Forces, you have the skills and experience to quickly adapt and excel in a role within their company.

to find your transferable skills, look back over your career in the Military. Write down examples of tasks you were set and the positive outcomes you achieved, teams you have led and the number of subordinates you managed, the cash value of any projects or equipment it was your role to oversee, times when you had to create reports or deliver presentations to your superiors, or any times you had to liaise or work alongside different ranks or groups within the Armed Forces.

Factcurriculum Vitae (cV) literally translates as “the course of my life”.

once you have found some good examples, match them to the requirements for the job you are applying for.

Ask for FeedbackIf your cV is winning you interviews, it works. If it is not, find out why. contact the employer and politely ask for feedback.

take all advice into careful consideration when improving your cV but remember that opinions are subjective and feedback may vary from person to person. If you begin to get call-backs after you have implemented a change you know you are on the right track.

Your cV will never be “finished”. It will continue to organically develop as your career progresses. You should try to regularly redraft your cV to include any pertinent updates whilst they are still fresh in your mind – you never know when an up-to-date cV may come in handy.

Read the Full GuideBFrS’s free downloadable ‘Guide to Writing a cV’ contains useful information and advice on every step of the cV-writing process.
