At SWAN, we know how important it is for women veterans to highlight their skills, achievements, and leadership gained during their service. This month, we encourage all service women and veterans to take a moment to update their resumes and showcase the talents that set them apart. Whether you’re looking for new opportunities or just keeping things current, a refreshed resume is key to unlocking your next career milestone. Visit https://lnkd.in/gwpAFHb to view the Veterans Employment Toolkit! #UpdateYourResumeMonth #WomenVeterans #CareerSupport #VeteranSuccess

We hire veterans (and so can you!) Do you want to hire veterans? Here are a couple tips for how you can increase your veteran hiring and unlock a talent pool of hardworking, professional candidates. -- 1) Consider transferrable skills. Military resumes may look different than civilian ones, but relevant skills are still there! Check out the military crosswalk tool to help you translate military skills to civilian ones and ask veterans during the interview about they did day-to-day in the military. https://lnkd.in/gxgG3mAt 2) Find local veteran employment partners. We work closely with Texas Veterans Commission and their employment representatives are part of a nationwide network of veteran advocates. Shout out to some of our local contacts Carlton Robinson, Jessica Buerger, Paul Julio, Phillip Caldwell, Keith Callands. You can also tap into a nationwide network such as U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, shout out to Diane Tu. These great people send us veteran job seekers every day. 3) Attend veteran hiring events. We attend many free veteran hiring events every year. If you're just getting started, I recommend looking into the statewide "Red White and You" held in November. (https://lnkd.in/ga4ta-b6) 4) Find an internal champion. It kills me that Erich Butler wasn't able to attend this event. He's worked hard here at Peak to educate and inspire our staff to hire more veterans. Seek out an internal staff member like Erich who can talk about the unique lived experience of veterans as well as the unique employment barriers they face. 5) Be disability-friendly. Many veterans have acquired a disability as a result of service to their country. Whether they're missing a leg or managing PTSD, we can thank them for their service by making our workplaces more disability-friendly, accessible, and open to accommodations. -- Did you know there is a statewide award for employers who employ at least 10% veterans? (https://lnkd.in/gFzBqBrz) I'm proud to be pictured here with Cruz Montemayor Sr., M.A. as well as Casey Wade, Isaac Marquez-Diaz, and Joe Esparza receiving the award on behalf of Peak Performers for hiring 14% veterans. We hire vets and so can you! #Veteran #PeakPerformers #Disability #Hiring #WeHireVets

Biden-Harris Admin Paid Consultants Millions To Help Military Implement Race-Based Hiring, Combat Resistance to DEI "Documents show the extent of the Pentagon’s efforts to embed leftwing, race-based ideology in the military, in partnership with academic institutions and consulting firms. The outside organizations received taxpayer dollars to set up hiring pipelines that gave candidates preferential treatment on the basis of race and sex, advise the government agency on DEI policy, and combat internal and external resistance to said policies." https://lnkd.in/dvAkMWc5

🌟Joint Base San Antonio Hiring Event 🌟     Wednesday, 14 August 2024     Norris Conference Center Joint Base San Antonio is hosting a Direct Hire Event on August 14, 2024. This event holds significant opportunities for job seekers who are looking to secure General Schedule (GS) or Wage Grade (WG) positions. Wondering what Direct-Hire Authority (DHA) means for you? Here's a breakdown: 🔹 DHA allows Federal agencies to fill critical vacancies with shortages of candidates. 🔹 Traditionally, applicants on USA jobs must fall within the Area of consideration (AOC) to apply, often limited to specific groups like veterans, military spouses, disabled individuals, and federal government employees. 🔹 With Direct Hire Authority, qualified individuals, regardless of affiliation, can be considered for employment as long as they meet minimum eligibility requirements for government roles (e.g., Citizenship, Background Check, etc.). Don't miss this chance to explore employment opportunities without the usual constraints. Mark your calendars for August 14 and gear up to seize this unique chance to kickstart your career journey!

#Veterans interested in a #federalcareer after the military, listen up! ***This may be the most important post you read*** The federal government has #SpecialHiringAuthorities that allow you to be hired non-competitively for any job you are QUALIFIED for. Most of these jobs are not listed on #USAJOBS. Here is how you find out if you qualify for a Special Hiring Authority: https://lnkd.in/e6w6K9JB If you looked and you qualify for SHA, then stay with me. If not you can stop reading, this strategy won't work for you. Most positions listed on USAJOBS are competitive. The job you are trying to get hired for isn't on USAJOBS, because you are trying to be non-competitively hired (get it?). You need to do some research to find the job series that you are QUALIFIED for and that you are interested in doing. Here are a couple of sources you can use to conduct research. First, use the OPM Handbook of Occupational Groups and Families: https://lnkd.in/eFmnTJpt. This will help get you in the ball park for the Job Series you have experience in. Then use the Job Series and/or Position Title to search for similar jobs that are announced on USAJOBS - Don't worry about the location, because you aren't applying for the specific job that is listed. You just want to find the requirements for the position, so you have an idea what the organization is looking for. Now tailor a #FederalResume, to show HOW you qualify for the job. What have you done that shows you meet the requirements? It's different than a resume that you send to a non-Federal entity - Follow the instructions here: https://lnkd.in/e_EfRUMc When you are sure that your Federal Resume shows that you are qualified for the Job Series then you need to write a #coverletter. Why? Because you are going to submit this resume for a job that might not exist yet and you need to explain to the folks in HRO why you are sending them the resume. Explain which SHA you qualify for and how you are qualified for the Job Series that you are targeting. You may even share what #PayGrade you are looking for. Federal Pay Grades are tricky because they are different depending on where you live in the country. You can look for your #PayScale here: https://lnkd.in/eBjwuDQW Now, the hardest and most valueable part- #Network. Find out who has a federal job similar to what you are looking for. Send them a message on LinkedIn. Talk to them about it. #BeGracious. Express your interest in doing something similar and share your experience. Wait for them to ask for your resume or after you build rapport, ask them if they could provide your resume and cover letter to their HR department. Good Luck! #FederalCareers
