Pro tips for all Amazon and Military-Connected job fair attendees: 1. Come with a job req or three. Use the skills translator on their Military Recruiting website. 2. Review the Amazon Leadership Principles. 3. Research who is attending and connect via LinkedIn BEFORE the event so you have someone to find when you arrive. 4. Get your intro concise and summarize what you did while serving and (more importantly) what you want to do as an Amazonian. 5. Share something personal, relatable and memorable. Be human. 6. Have a target start date and a location (do not say you’re open to relocation). 7. Have an ask: Who should I talk to next? How did you get your job? How is your military service serving you as an Amazonian? What does my resume need to ensure it doesn’t get rejected? 8. Do NOT expect the Amazonian to usher you to a great job. 9. Do NOT show up saying you’ll take any job anywhere. 10. Exhale. Muster up some confidence, stand tall, remind yourself of every incredible thing you’ve accomplished in your entire life, and go. #yougotthis Michelle M Mills Ian McDuffie, MBA, PMP, LSSBB, Jonathan Schmitz Dan Carp
