Despite the ups and downs in the economy of the last 20 months, our clients continue to recruit talented and top performing junior military officers who are well prepared for a business career. As we have written and said before, the quality and preparation “bar” remains high. With this high “bar,” and military officers so busy fighting the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq or conducting other operations, we have spent two years investing in new technologies and preparation materials to help JMOs who are considering a business career. This blog, our Facebook page (http://tinyurl.com/dfqoq4) and weekly webcasts are examples of these technologies; AND, today, we launched the biggest initiatives of our project.
NEW WEBSITE
We launched our new website – same web link http://www.cameron-brooks.com– but new and exciting content! (Select the “refresh” button when you first visit the site.) You can sign up for a Personal Marketability Assessment, Information Meeting and/or Webcast; you can see if we will be visiting your area soon, learn about the Cameron-Brooks transition process, read our mission statement , frequently asked questions and testimonials; you can research career fields, AND utilize our new Candidate Resource Center.
NEW CANDIDATE RESOURCE CENTER
The Resource Center may be accessed through our website, or directly at https://cas.cameron-brooks.com/CandidatePortal. In the Resource Center you will find a Learning Library with valuable articles about Corporate America, career transition and career guidance. You will also find lessons learned from previous Cameron-Brooks Career Conferences, the Discussion Forums, the online version of PCS to Corporate America by Roger Cameron, and much more. If you are a JMO candidate accepted into the Cameron-Brooks program, you will also find our brand new Development and Preparation Program© (DPP©).
The new Development and Preparation Program© (DPP©) includes the Reading Program, Tabs, and podcasts – all easily accessible online and in one place. It has been completely redone. It incorporates Cameron-Brooks’ 40 plus years experience in the JMO recruiting industry. It is also based on significant feedback from our alumni and client companies.
***If you have previously registered with Cameron-Brooks or filled out an application, use the same username and password you created when you first registered or completed the application. If you have forgotten your password, follow the instructions on the login page. (We do not have access to your password.) If you have forgotten your username, e-mail candidates@cameron-brooks.com and someone at Cameron-Brooks will help you. If you have not previously registered, it takes 5 minutes, there is no obligation, and you get access to all the content of the Resource Center except for the DPP©, which is only for those accepted into the Cameron-Brooks program.***
All of us at Cameron-Brooks are committed to finding innovative methods to better serve JMOs in their career development. We will continue to add rich content to all of these tools, and we always appreciate feedback.
We do also continue to see positive changes in the economy. We were very pleased with the success of our recent August 2009 Conference and already have many companies signing up for the upcoming November 2009 Conference. Please keep visiting our blog as well as our Facebook page for updates.
Finally, thanks to the fabulous team at Creative Noggin Marketing (Tracy Marlowe, Trish McCabe and Cody). This team has brought a lot of value to our company and our candidates. I can’t say enough about their professionalism and talent. You can visit Creative Noggin’s website at http://www.creativenoggin.com/
