Welcome to Aldershot 2015This is our second careers event of 2015 and, after the high turnout of our previous event in Oakham, we are expecting another great event today with plenty of you here to take advantage of the opportunities available.

Today’s event is about bringing the Armed Forces Community together with the commercial world and facilitating one-to-one engagement with a wide range of exhibitors who are not only keen to attract potential employees, but also to promote interest in training opportunities. They are also here to offer a wide range of transition/resettlement advice and support to all attendees; whether you are a Service Leaver, Veteran, Reservist or Family Member, there is something here for you.

BFRS events provide great platforms for personnel to embrace the employment and training opportunities available to you, plus a variety of resettlement help, support and advice including CV-writing assistance.

Whether you are just starting to consider your next career move, your departure from the Military is imminent, you have already left, or you are a Reservist, we urge you to take full advantage of the expertise and networking opportunities available through BFRS and our career events.

This event is a great opportunity to build your network – so please leave all your reservations at the door and approach as many exhibitors as you can to get the most out of the day.

Thank you and enjoy today’s event.

Harry Dean CEO of BFRS

Get the Most from Today’s EventToday’s event provides a huge variety of possibilities to someone making the transition from Military to Civilian life. These include employment, training, networking and support opportunities for Armed Forces personnel during all stages of their resettlement and beyond.

If you’re not sure where you want to work or what you want to do when leaving the Forces, a careers fair can introduce you to a range of possibilities. Before you engage exhibitors in conversation, get at least some idea of what they do. Keep a copy of the event guide with you for reference and chat to someone on the BFRS stand if you need a bit more guidance.

For most Service Leavers this will be new, so if you’re nervous, see this as an opportunity to practise speaking to hiring managers. Try and step outside your comfort zone by setting a personal target: identify two or three employers you want to speak to and prepare some questions beforehand.

After the event, make time to digest all the information you’ve gathered. Think about how you will use this to focus your search or enhance your applications.

Aim to get the contact details of people you have met. They can form part of your network not just for the immediate, but also for the long-term future.

If you think of a question later, contact the person you met to find out if they can help.

Most of all, have fun! Today is about enjoying yourself, meeting many new people and finding new career and training opportunities that may lead to long-term careers. Have fun, be confident and approach any and all exhibitors that take your interest!

Top 10 CV TipsBy CareerMaster4Military

Sian Richardson, founder of Careermaster4military.co.uk, is a former military spouse with over 25 years’ experience in HR, recruitment and senior management positions with FTSE 100 companies. She has read and written hundreds of CVs and works closely with Service Leavers, veterans, their spouses and partners to support them in securing their next role.

1 Keep it relevantIf it isn’t relevant, leave it out! The objective of your CV is to secure an interview for the job you want. It’s not a biography of your life but a marketing document, to sell your skills, qualifications and experience. All the information you include should tell the reader why you are the ideal candidate for that specific job – no more, no less.

2 Tell them what they need to knowThere’s no such thing as a generic CV. Each CV you send out should be specifically written to target the vacancy you’re applying for or the type of role you want. If you don’t know what job that is yet, there’s little point writing your CV! Ask us for some career coaching to help you discover the right job for you, first.

3 Keep it neatHow your CV is presented and how it is written reflects on you. Nobody will want to read an untidy CV where key information is hard to find. It will only end up in one place – the shredder! A well presented and well written CV, where the information the recruiter needs to know stands out clearly, is significantly more likely to win you an interview.

4 Ready for my close-upUnless you’re applying for a job in modelling, where your appearance is vital, or you fancy your chances on the big screen, keep the mug-shots for your mum’s album, not your CV.

In the majority of cases, your appearance doesn’t matter in determining whether you have the experience and skills to do the job.

12 Fe a t u r e s

5 Does size matter?Look, this is one myth we can bust today! There’s no hard and fast rule about a CV being no more than two pages. More important than size is content – content is king! The CV should be as long as is it takes to tell the reader what they need to know.

6 Making an impactFrom the first line to the last line, your CV should build a picture in the recruiter’s mind of you as the ideal candidate and someone they want to meet and find out more about.

Lay the foundations and make an immediate impact up-front in the professional profile section by telling them why you are their ideal candidate. Back this up with a clear list of your key skills, reflecting those in the job specification.

7 Mind your languageYour communication skills will be assessed from the email you send, the calls you make, the cover letter you submit and, of course, from your CV. Get any of these wrong and you may not have the chance to demonstrate your verbal communication skills at interview.

8 Play the numbers gameRecruiters and employers love numbers – oh yes they do! Numbers show the size and scope of both the organisations you’ve worked for and your job. They can quantify your achievements, highlighting how good you are at what you do in comparison to other applicants.

9 Leave it out, mate!Unless specifically requested in the job advert, there are things you should leave out such as nationality, date of birth and marital status.

10 Keep it updatedReview and update your CV on a regular basis, adding new skills, qualifications, training courses, CPD (continuing professional development), new jobs or projects, and achievements.

Mike Jackson House › Supporting Veterans in Aldershot since 2008

Since 2008, Riverside’s Mike Jackson House has provided accommodation and support for homeless Veterans from the Armed Forces, ranging from those whose careers were cut short to people who left after decades of service.

We cater for ex-Servicemen and women from all types of service background, including those struggling with issues such as substance misuse, estrangement from family, isolation, mental health problems including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and a variety of other support needs.

Specialist Support TeamAt Mike Jackson House our team focuses on providing specialist support to veterans. Our service includes:

▪ Access to an Employment Mentor based on-site (starting April 2015).

▪ Substance Misuse Specialist – who works with the Drug and Alcohol Team to run a Veterans’ Outreach provision locally.

▪ Safeguarding Specialists and a Counselling Therapies specialist (trained counsellor) – we also source specific counselling services for Veterans.

▪ Help into Housing – working with the Stoll Foundations via the Veterans Nomination Scheme and Haig Homes through the Aldershot Pathway, offering an effective way of finding accommodation for Veterans.

The CribbOur team strive to find additional funding to increase the range of support we can provide, and recent funding from the Armed Forces Covenant Grant and Church Housing Trust has enabled us to build a therapeutic, multi-purpose space for residents and groups in the community alike called The Cribb.

Mike Jackson House

This much-needed space has already proved invaluable for activities and it is also available for other organisations and groups in the community to use. Please get in touch with us if you are interested.

Case Study“I’d served ten years in the Army and came here straight from Frimley Park Hospital. I’d had problems with drink at a particularly difficult time.

“At Mike Jackson House I got help with my alcohol issues and during this time the team really helped me maintain my relationships with my family.

“They also helped me look at different training options and secured funding for me to start a forklift driver’s course. They also got me help from the local CAB for some debt issues.

“I was put forward to the Veterans’ Nomination Scheme for accommodation and received an offer of a bungalow with a bit of additional funding from the Royal British Legion to buy some furniture and household things.

“Once I’d moved out, the Mike Jackson team helped me make sure my tenancy and utilities were set up okay, and I can still ask them for support if I’ve got any problems.”

–Bill (Ex-Serviceman and former Mike Jackson House resident)
