It was a flyer at Fort Jackson\u2019s Soldier for Life \u2013 Transition Assistance Program\u2019s office that lead Scott Johnson on the path to his post-military career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw the advertisement for the Hiring Our Heroes Career Summit. I was attracted to the various events scheduled throughout the day, especially the LinkedIn review<\/a> and the employer panel,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n

During the job fair portion of the event, Johnson connected with FedEx Freight<\/a>. Six months later, he was hired as a Senior Talent Acquisition Specialist.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am currently working for the company (FedEx Freight) that I targeted at the HOH event I attended. It truly is exactly what I hoped for and it would not have been possible had I not attended the HOH event during my transition,\u201d Johnson said.<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

100 Career Summits<\/h3>\n

Johnson is one of thousands of transitioning service members and military spouses who have landed careers with military-ready employers at Hiring Our Heroes Career Summits<\/a>. During the last five years, Hiring Our Heroes hosted nearly 100 Career Summits at military installations throughout the world.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Hiring Our Heroes hosted 30 career summits for more than 7,000 service members and their spouses.<\/p>\n

Career Summits were originally called Transition Summits<\/a> and the target audience was service members approaching their six-month transition window. As the Career Summit program grew, its focus changed to meet the needs of today\u2019s military family. One component of that change was inviting military spouses<\/a> to attend the summits.<\/p>\n

\u201cRecently, we decided to bring military spouses into the fold. It\u2019s important to have military spouses part of the conversation since they are a part of a service member\u2019s decision to stay in or to get out,\u201d said Hiring Our Heroes Director of Career Summits Marnie Holder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The curriculum has evolved through the years, too. Originally, the emphasis was on awareness and resources. Now, the event focuses on career planning workshops aimed at a service member or military spouse at any point in their career journey.<\/p>\n

Five years ago, the summits were in response to the high unemployment rate among veterans. Now, the veteran unemployment rate is a record low 2.7%, yet military leaders and employers continue to request Career Summits.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe demand is coming from the employers. They are looking to tap into this pipeline of talent,\u201d Holder said.<\/p>\n

Booz Allen Hamilton is one employer that has attended Career Summits since the beginning of the program. Booz Allen Hamilton joined HOH\u2019s Military Spouse Employment Advisory Council<\/a> in 2013 and became a member of the Veteran Employment Advisory Council<\/a> in 2017.<\/p>\n

Just one hire from a single event makes the Career Summit a successful event \u2014 particularly if the hire fills an in-demand role, said George Bernloehr, Military Recruiting Lead at Booz Allen Hamilton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe typically experience a few immediate hires from the event and establish communication with candidates who may have six months to a year before they transition,\u201d he said. \u201c<\/strong>Multiple hires from a single event, a typical outcome from attending a HOH transition summit, makes it a very successful event for Booz Allen Hamilton.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"During<\/p>\n

While Booz Allen Hamilton has attended Career Summits for years, John Deere is a relative newcomer in the veteran employment arena.<\/p>\n

John Deere\u2019s Labor Relations Manager Jeff Kennedy said John Deere wanted to expand its military recruitment efforts for some time, but wasn\u2019t sure how to navigate the process. Through the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, John Deere connected with Hiring Our Heroes. The results have had a direct and immediate impact.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe attended events in Japan, Europe, and El Paso, Texas, in which we had the opportunity to meet with over 2,500 military personnel and families. Through these contacts we have multiple strong leads for production, skilled trades, and professional positions,\u201d Kennedy said.<\/p>\n

Educate, Inform, Inspire, and Connect<\/h3>\n

A Career Summit is a hands-on career planning event designed to educate, inform, inspire, and connect.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople think it\u2019s going to be a sit-and-watch-the-slides type of session and are pleasantly surprised when they discover it is very much interactive and engaging,\u201d Holder said.<\/p>\n

At Career Summits, service members and military spouses participate in mock interviews, receive LinkedIn profile reviews by employment experts, and learn about certifications needed to segue into high-demand careers.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy having all of these sessions prior to the career fair makes the entire event much more impactful and successful for the job seekers and the employers,\u201d Holder said.<\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

Maximizing Your Career Summit Experience<\/h3>\n

Career Summits have an average job offer rate of 38% at the time of the event with a majority of the success stories unfolding long after the summit ends.<\/p>\n

What can military job seekers do to increase their chances for success? \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first step is preparation. Bernloehr recommended that service members and military spouses research the companies attending the career summit and make a list of ones that they want to meet with at the event. Don\u2019t be afraid to talk with hiring managers who are not on your list.<\/p>\n

\u201cTime permitting, make the most of the event and visit every company participating. You may be pleasantly surprised by discovering a new and exciting career with a company you did not know too much about or role you had no idea was available at the company,\u201d Bernloehr said.<\/p>\n

The second step is to have an idea of what kind of career you want to pursue post-military. Vague remarks, like \u201cI can do anything,\u201d puts the responsibility on the employer to fit the service member into a job.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat candidates know what they want and are realistic when it comes to the job expectations,\u201d Kennedy said.<\/p>\n

What can companies do to increase their chances of finding the right candidates for their positions?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hiring managers may need to be flexible with the hiring process and be prepared to meet job candidates who aren\u2019t separating from military service for at least a year.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo out of three candidates that we are offering to will not be out of service until 2020,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Holder recommended that employers participate in the career planning sessions. Listening to the questions asked by participants and hearing the answers from other partners and employers will provide insight into the hiring experience, she said.<\/p>\n

As a hiring manager, be ready to engage in short conversations with as many participants as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cMake time to have a short conversation with the participants \u2014 learn what the candidate wants to do in a new career, not just what they have done. \u00a0If you\u2019re able, bring a team of recruiters, HR and talent acquisition professionals to conduct interviews at the event \u2014 get a jump start on the hiring process,\u201d Bernloehr said.<\/p>\n

After five years and nearly 100 Career Summits, demand for our engaging and informative sessions on military installations continues to grow.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re seeing more of a demand for these summits than we ever have before,\u201d Holder said.<\/p>\n

Career Summits are held on U.S. military installations around the world and may include a networking reception for employers, military leaders, and job seekers, and a hiring fair. Register for an upcoming Career Summit today<\/a>.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
