THE HOME DEPOT NATIONWIDE MILITARY INITIATIVE 27 OCT


The Home Depot is proud to announce a special one-day event across the nation - Mission: Transition.

Veterans can find a location near them and register for this event at: http://homedepotmilitary.com/

Unlike a job fair, these Civilian Career Workshops focus on helping service members and veterans transition successfully into the workforce in any industry. With service at the center of their core values, they are proud to arm service men and women with knowledge and resources to navigate a successful transition into a meaningful career. It is their goal to serve the military community.

Military veterans are encouraged to register to participate in their October 27, 2012 Mission: Transition event and hear directly from hiring managers, human resources professionals and former military leaders currently working at The Home Depot.

Attendees will learn:

Resume Optimization

A well-crafted resume is the key that opens the door to interviews and opportunities.

* Define your goals
* Translate your military experience to civilian skills
* Topics include: Keywords, action words, cover letters, formatting and common mistakes

Job Search Strategies

* Your brand
* A solid strategy for searching for jobs in today's challenging markets
* How to effectively use social media

Interview Techniques

Mastering the art of the interview is one of the best ways to separate yourself in today's crowded employment arena.

* Polish your existing interviewing skills
* Learn new techniques
* Prepare for various interview scenarios

Space is limited. Make sure the veterans you work with register today to learn the keys to success from former military and industry leaders at The Home Depot. All workshops will take place on October 27, 2012.

These events are designed to share Home Depot employees' expertise and connect with their communities. This is not a hiring event and resumes will not be accepted.
