The Self-Marketing
Military Transition Job Interview

Use Consultative Selling to Market Yourself
 to Your Next Employer


There are as many types of job interviews as there are jobs for veterans, but they all have one thing in common: people hate them. Because interviews are an artificial interaction in which one person holds all the power, the interviewee rarely feels comfortable. Most job-seekers, and this includes veteran job and career searchers, don't go into an interview with the right mind-set, posture and strategy. As a result they rarely present themselves as a candidate who stands out from the total applicant pool. However, there is a way to overcome this, and we call it the self-marketing job interview.

Use the Self-Marketing Approach to Build Confidence and Gain Control

What's needed is a new model, one that helps you

  • maintain your personal authority
  • sell you services for top dollar, and
  • simulate a peer relationship with the interviewer right from the start
