WEBINAR | Turn Your Service Record Into a Project Manager’s CV
2 Sep @ 3:00 pm - 3:45 pm BST
About this webinar
Ask a hiring manager what they want in a project manager and they’ll talk about stakeholder management, risk, planning, leadership under pressure. Ask a service leaver what they did in the military and they’ll describe exactly that, just in different words. The gap isn’t experience. It’s translation, and it’s costing service leavers interviews every day.
In this webinar, Simon Parsons, veteran, principal project management consultant and former aircraft engineer in the REME, shows you how to take what’s already on your service record and turn it into a CV and interview story that civilian hiring managers immediately understand and value.
What will you learn?
How to translate military roles, exercises and responsibilities into project management language recruiters recognise
The most common CV mistakes service leavers make and how to avoid them
How to answer competency based interview questions using military examples with confidence
Why a recognised qualification like the APM PFQ gives your CV instant credibility, and how to talk about it in interview
Real before and after examples of military experience reframed as PM experience
Who should attend?
