One of the most daunting experiences for you right now is making the transition from military to civilian life. Not only will it seem like an uphill battle trying to fit back into this daily life but trying to find a new career can further complicate the situation. We have put together a few words of advice when faced with the task of putting together a CV.
What career?
If you know what kind of job you are going to go for, then you are half way there. Trying to decide what kind of job you want to do is difficult and it may be that you do not just decide on one job but several options. To get to this point, you need to sit down and list ALL of the skills you have developed pre-military and whilst within the military and cross-check this list with the skills required in an array of careers. This is the time to research all kinds of job opportunities, speak to your network of friends, family and acquaintances and get some first-hand feedback to work out if it is something you may be interested in doing. It is important to invest time in reading around all kinds of careers to see if something interests you! The internet is a great place to start and there are many sites out there with great explanations of what is involved in different job roles.
More than one CV?
It is highly likely that you may be interested in several kinds of jobs so it is very common to have more than one CV. We allow up to 5 CV’s to be saved into a jobseekers account on TipTopJob so that they can be used to apply to different kinds of jobs and this is the same for other job boards. Each can include different skills and experiences that relate to the role you are applying to. Each CV needs to be kept to under 2 pages.
Skills and achievements
As someone who has no direct experience in the role you are going to be applying for, it is important to pick out the “transferable” skills that you have picked up in the military and that can be used in civilian life. Some of these skills may include team work, decision making, leadership, IT and communication. You are likely to have some good quality and varied achievements that you can use to your advantage so try to pick out those most relevant to the role you are going to be applying for.
Language
Try to minimise any military jargon, acronyms, slang etc from your CV as this can be confusing for a recruiter. If you are describing specific military terms, try to explain and elaborate. You can always ask a friend to read over your CV to make sure they understand it before applying to a job.
Personal Development Record
This is something that civilians will not have so it is a good idea to use this to your advantage. You can quantify each of the areas and be specific with what you have done, who you have managed, what you achieved, what equipment you used etc For example, say that you managed over 20 soldiers, explain that you managed a budget of over £1 million and describe a situation that resulted in saving your department over £50K.
To finish
When putting your CV together, remember to keep it simple, not too wordy and relevant. There are companies that can help you to put a CV together or provide a review on what you already have. Invest some time in getting this right as it can help you to get your foot in the door. If you are rejected for a role, always ask for feedback as this can help you to tweak the content on your CV before applying for another job.

Facebook is the largest social network that allows individuals to connect with friends and acquaintances and re-connect with people from the past. As networking is the best tool for finding a new job, Facebook can be very effective in helping you to open new doors.
Tell your friends that you are looking for a new job. It is important that everyone knows your situation otherwise they are non-the-wiser. If your friends know you are looking then they are likely to let you know about any relevant roles that come up of interest to you. Keep updating your status about things relating to your job hunt so people do not forget your situation e.g. “interview went well this morning”.
Instead of just updating your status, use “Notes” as these tend to stay on people screens for longer.
Make sure your Facebook profile is private. Under your Account, Privacy Settings you can choose “Friends Only” so that potential employers who search for your name cannot see your details, photos or updates.
Facebook’s list feature means you can create lists of people in your network and customise the privacy settings so professional friends can only see what you want them to see. This means you do not jeopardise your chances of getting a new job if you are connected to a potential employer and you do not want them seeing certain things.
Facebook may be more for fun but do not over-look how effective it can be when looking for a new job. Because the people in your Facebook network are generally people you know better than the other networks, you are more likely to be recommended jobs by others if they know you are looking. Do not be afraid to embrace Facebook in your search for a new job.
Networking is the number ONE approach to finding a new job whether it is through friends, family, acquaintances, online, conferences, events and the like. Here are some quick tips on how to best network to find yourself a new job…
- Use Linkedin
Linkedin has the largest network of business managers, directors, recruiters etc so you can really connect with the right people in your industry whether they are recruiters in the company you are interested in working for, recruitment agencies or just employees working in the industry/company you want to get into.
- Use Facebook
Your friends on Facebook are invaluable at potentially connecting you with the right people. They may know about relevant jobs being advertised and be able to introduce you to recruiters or those working in an organisation of interest. Do not under-estimate the power of your friends and family.
- Twitter
You can use twitter in the same way as Linkedin and Facebook. Connect with marketers, recruiters, bloggers etc as well. You can follow people in your industry who may be tweeting about relevant information and they may be able to help you in some way or another in your job hunt.
- Offline networking at exhibitions and conferences
If you work in a specific industry, it is worth attending exhibitions or conferences to meet others who may also be able to open doors for you. You can find local events online – it is definitely worth getting down to anything relevant going on.
Expanding your network is so VERY important as you never know who could be able to help you. Do not assume people will not be able to help you. Connect, connect and connect some more Good Luck!
