Go the Extra Mile with your post military Job Interviews
Before an interview we all know that it is good practice to do some research. This will help you answer typical questions like "tell me what you know about the business?"
The obvious place to find relevant information will be the company's website. However, the problem is that every other candidate will be doing the same, leaving you with very little to distinguish yourself with - don't miss this opportunity to impress!
When researching before an interview you need to go the extra mile and use your time intelligently. Research the company's competitors, the market they deal in and see if they have been in the news recently. These are the areas you need to cover if you want to show the interviewer you're really on the pulse and that you want that post military or transitional job.
Are you looking for a career or a job?
When searching or applying for jobs what mindset are you in? Are you just looking for a job or are you looking for a career? This is a question all recruiters will be trying to work out as early as possible in the recruitment process.
They'll be trying to find someone who is looking long term, a person who is really serious and committed to the idea of working in that industry. With this in mind you must be doing everything you can to convince them of this and equally, not applying to jobs that you don't feel passionate about.
