Meaningful Work
In late September I wrote a Career Tip on finding meaning in one’s work. I received a lot of positive feedback about it, so I wanted to post it on our blog as well. I normally do not post our Career Tips on the blog, so if you want to read other career tips, you … Continue reading “Meaningful Work”
Read MoreCameron-Brooks Values Face-to-Face Personal Interaction
As a Junior Military Officer (JMO) headhunter (we prefer to be called a recruiting firm or recruiters), we believe in developing a personal relationship with our JMOs face-to-face. Most other JMO and traditional recruiting firms do not do this. This past week, I met with numerous JMOs across Germany, and these meetings reminded me that … Continue reading “Cameron-Brooks Values Face-to-Face Personal Interaction”
Read MoreMature Communication
Every Conference, a few JMO candidates lose some interviews due to immature communication. This is disappointing because it is completely avoidable. I debated whether or not to write this post, because in reality, I feel I should not even have to address this. However, during an Interview Preparation Workshop this week, two candidates used inappropriate … Continue reading “Mature Communication”

Read MoreFeatures and Benefits of Cameron-Brooks’ Development and Preparation Program
One of the features of the Cameron-Brooks program is our Development and Preparation Program© (DPP©). A mis-perception of our program is that it is only designed to learn how to successfully interview. This is only one of the benefits, and there are 3 equally important purposes of DPP©. First, DPP© provides an education to Junior … Continue reading “Features and Benefits of Cameron-Brooks’ Development and Preparation Program”

Read MorePreparing for Success in the New Year
Like most people, I set goals and resolutions for 2011. When I did this, I was excited to achieve my goals and hungry to get started. Yet, I know it is easy to feel this way 4 days into the New Year. There will be weeks coming soon, where challenges and long hours will appear. It will … Continue reading “Preparing for Success in the New Year”

Recently, Cameron-Brooks Team Member, Mary Lou White, visited San Francisco, CA and had lunch with Sean Blair, former Air Force JMO, who is now a medical device sales representative at Johnson & Johnson. After the lunch, Mary Lou sent our team an e-mail describing … Continue reading “Cameron-Brooks JMO Alumnus Success Story”
Read MoreJMO OPTEMPO and Time to Prepare for a Business Career
As I travel to military bases and meet face-to-face with Junior Military Officers (JMOs), I am finding that the combination of the high military OPTEMPO and the enormous amount of information on business and a career transition is overwhelming some JMOs and causing them to inadequately plan and prepare for a successful transition. The consequences … Continue reading “JMO OPTEMPO and Time to Prepare for a Business Career”
