Veterans Opportunity | 5Science & TechnologyScience & Technology

The oil and natural gas industry is expanding exponentially with an increase in regional development,

production and distribution of new energy sources. To fill an increasing demand for workers, efforts are underway to grow the oil and gas workforce by hiring veterans.

Unfortunately, typical hiring practices leave many qualified candidate resumes in the HR office wastebasket. By incorporating technology into one’s job search, a candidate stands a much better chance of being seen. With Quick Response (QR) codes, veterans have an opportunity to leverage new media and mobile to stand out from their competition. QR codes enable a host of practical and useful applications. For instance, linking the QR code on the resume to a candidate video, mobile website or social media website (like LinkedIn) provide a simple and interesting way for recruiters to learn more about a candidate prior to an interview, saving the recruiter time and helping them hone in on most qualified candidates.

Helping Veterans Stand Out in the Hiring ProcessQR Codes

How do I create a QR code?

Mobile technology is opening doors across many industries and job seekers today. Before veterans get started, they should consider what content (video? mobile website? blog? etc.) they would like to deliver to a prospective employer. Then, find a reputable QR code creator, like NeoSphere™ Lite, which will allow you to create a code for free. Make sure to test the code to see that it brings a recruiter to the content that you intend them to see – and is in the right format (meaning optimized for the mobile device). Finally, make sure the QR code easily visible on the resume and include a call to action. For instance, “Scan the code to view my video resume.”

When veterans get creative in their use of QR codes, they will undoubtedly rise above their competition – achieving their desire for interviews and hopefully soon, a new role won’t be far behind. Get started today!

What is a QR code?

Most of us have seen a QR code on the back of our favorite product or within the pages of our favorite magazine. It’s the black and white square box that, when scanned with a barcode reader app (available for free from your phone’s app store), allow the user to access a range of content direct from their phone.

Why use a QR code?

Given the small amount of real estate on a resume and its ability to deliver a variety of content, QR codes have become a great way for job candidates to stand out from the crowd. For example, instead of including a DVD or cluttering a resume with additional information, a veteran can simply create a QR code and direct the hiring manager to scan the code and access the video from their mobile device. You can find a great example of how this can be done here. QR codes provide a simple way to communicate your message in a compelling manner.

2 | VETERANS OPPORTUNITY March 2014

When Daniel Brewer was getting ready to tran-sition out of the U.S.

Navy, he really had no idea what he was going to do for the rest of his life. “I enlisted when I was 18, so I basically grew up in the Navy,” he says. “When I got out at 24, I was like a young person getting out of college. I was still trying to figure out what I wanted to do.”

While in the service, Brewer worked as an aviation electron-ics technician, serving in Norfolk, Jacksonville, Italy, Africa, and Af-ghanistan. He worked a high stress job on the flight line, servicing C-2 Greyhounds and E-2 Hawkeyes.

Once discharged from service he happened to get a job at the Advix manufacturing plant in Leb-anon, Oh., and it was while work-ing there that he learned about Get Skills to Work, a coalition managed by The Manufacturing Institute in partnership with major advanced manufacturers like GE, Boeing, Alcoa, and Lockheed Mar-tin. With a goal of getting 100,000 veterans into advanced manufac-turing jobs by 2015, GSTW seemed to Brewer like a perfect avenue for advancing his career. “I learned about it while studying at Cincin-nati State Technical and Commu-

nity College and heard GE was look-ing to hire 1,000 veterans every year for five years,” he says.

He entered the program, taking an aptitude and personality test as well as participating in a certifica-tion program, landing an interview with GE two weeks after getting out of GSTW. “I was the only one in my class with an aviation background,” he says. Today Brewer works as a testing technician for GE in Vandalia, Oh., earning comparable pay to his Navy salary. “It’s almost the exact same job I did in the Navy, just dif-ferent parts.”

Advanced Manufacturing Sector is Looking for Veterans

Brewer’s story isn’t unique. Brett Vassey, president and CEO of the Virginia Manufacturers Association, says right now there is a massive skills gap in advanced manufactur-ing across the nation. He says there is a 56 percent shortage in talent in specialized jobs like tradesmen and technicians.

In Virginia, Vassey says 20 per-cent of the advanced manufacturing workforce is 55 older and that the industry in Virginia alone will need to replace about 40,000 retiring work-ers in the coming years. “It’s a major driver of opportunity,” he says. “Vets may be our saving grace.”

That’s because the industry has moved from being “labor inten-sive to technology intensive,” and veterans often already have those specialized skills.

That’s one reason for the launch of the Get Skills To Work program and others like it. Advanced manu-

facturers are in dire need of com-mitted and talented manpower, and military veterans offer it. Like GSTW, Virginia’s own Military2Manufactur-ing program offers vets a streamlined way to find career information in advanced manufacturing as well as ways to translate their military skills into civilian employment. Military-2Manufacturing has an automated system that translates MSO codes to RSO codes.

“Then we send the vets through an assessment, and if there is a skills

gap, we show them how to get the certification or degree they need to land a job in our industry,” Vassey ex-plains. He admits it has taken awhile for the industry to make sure that military certifications translate in the civilian world. “Industry certifications have finally started ‘cross-walking,’” he says. “We now have reciprocity in the private sector.”

With that reciprocity in place, through programs like GSTW and Military2Manufacturing, Vassey says a vet can acquire two to three

The following entry-level jobs have high demand now for workers:

• Manufacturing, chemical and industrial maintenance technicians

• Welders

• Machinists

• Fabricators

• Quality control workers

• Transportation service providers

• Logistics personnel

Weil indicates that certain advanced manufacturing sectors have substan-tial demand for employees now. Those include the oil and gas sector with highest demand in Texas, Louisiana, Pennsylvania and Ohio, as well as the bio-tech/medical device industry. “Precision machining,” he adds, “is uni-versally in demand.”

What Can You Make?

One major appeal of advanced manufacturing is not just the transferability of military to civilian skills but also the salaries. According to Vassey, an en-try level manufacturing technician can expect to make wages of $50,000+ per year. With more academic training and industry experience, a vet could HDVLO\�UHDFK�VL[�ÀJXUHV�LQ�WKH�DGYDQFHG�PDQXIDFWXULQJ�VHFWRU��


credentials in six to eight weeks of training that will make him or her employable in an entry level position in advanced manufacturing.

Another training and job place-ment option for veterans seeking careers in Advanced Manufacturing is the Right Skills Now program, a partnership among The Manufac-turing Institute, ACT, the National Institute of Metalworking Skills, and the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. “This program started in Minnesota at two com-munity colleges,” explains Brent Weil, senior vice president for education and workforce at The Manufacturing Institute. “With 16 weeks of training in CNC machining operations, for example, you can get four industry certifications, and you’ll participate in an eight-week paid internship.”

Meanwhile, the GSTW program, specifically for veterans, can get one certified in advanced manufacturing production in as little as four weeks with four industry certifications. “Many manufacturers across all in-

dustries have made a commitment to hire vets,” Weil says. “They possess so many employability skills needed in this industry.”

“Our industry nationwide sees vets as a preferred workforce,” Vassey says, though he admits veterans will probably have to go to larger compa-nies to encounter a Human Resourc-es department that understands the important skills they bring to the job. “The new veteran is one who prob-lem solves, is entrepreneurial, and a team player,” Vassey adds. “We love people who thrive in change.”

What’s Required of an Entry Level Employee in Advanced Manufacturing?

• Secondary training, typically at the community college level, is necessary for an entry-level advanced manu-facturing position but not an advanced degree.

• Workers need core compe-tencies, including the ability

to do applied mathematics and familiarity with workplace safety and quality assurance practices.

• The ability to take initiative and handle a crisis are critical skills for this industry and ones where vets already have sub-stantial experience.

• Employers are seeking a highly motivated workforce that can fill gaps in employ-ment now.

Four Things to Know Before Applying for a LoanWe have all heard the phrase “Cash is King,” and small business owners know that better than anyone. At some point or

another, many small business owners need to apply for financing to keep the cash flowing, hire new employees, expand inventory, and grow the business. Below are four key things you should know before applying for a loan.

Prepare, Prepare, Prepare!

Preparation is key when applying for a loan, and organized preparation is even better. This means that your business plan should be updated, your financial statements should be in order, and you should be able to verify all of the information that you give to your lender. Remember that box of saved business receipts? A lender will expect this information to be organized in a spreadsheet or software, like QuickBooks, to help you better manage your business finances. This preparation will go a long way toward showing that you can manage the lender’s money well, too.

Know How Much YouWant to Borrow

This may seem obvious, but you would be surprised to learn that many small business owners haven’t figured out how much money they really need to borrow. It is very important to know exactly how much you need, what it will be used for, and how you plan to pay it back. No lender wants to hear “I’ll take as much as you can give me.” Your loan request should make sense based on your business history, projections, your specific needs, and the amount of personal investment you have in the business.

Know the Process

Every lending institution has a process for making loans and asking questions up front sets reasonable expectations and shows your lender that you care. You should have a good understanding of the documents you need to submit, the expected timeline, and the different levels of approval. Also, don’t be surprised if your lender has additional questions for you after you submit your complete application. This is typically part of the process, and while it does not guarantee a loan approval, it does keep the process moving.

Remember – Less Isn’t More When Applying for a Loan

Less isn’t more – more is more. When it comes to getting a loan, the more information you provide about your business, the better. Your lender will need the full story and as much background as possible to make a good decision. Remember that your lender is on your side and wants to give you a loan if possible. But checks and balances are important for everyone. Providing your lender with more information will result in a faster decision-making process for both of you.
