What do you know about Lean Manufacturing, Total Productive Maintenance, Kaizen, or Consultative Selling? How about Six Sigma, Process Excellence, Self-Directed Work Teams, Risk Management or Change Management?
The JMO candidates who have succeeded in their career search understood these business concepts, but more importantly, related their military background to them and bring the topics into interviews with them.
Their secret? They read, studied, and applied the business knowledge they learned from business books, FORTUNE Magazine and other business periodicals BEFORE the transition. During a transition, whether it is initial or follow up interviews, you will be immersed in business concepts and your comfort level with these concepts will help you assimilate information more efficiently and ultimately engage recruiters in more productive dialogue.
