PCs to Corporate America: From Military Tactics to Corporate Interviewing Strategy

By Roger Cameron

Book Overview

PCS to Corporate America: From Military Tactics to Corporate Interviewing Strategy is both a workbook and a reference book for any junior military officer who is considering a permanent change of station (PCS) to the business world. Written by Roger Cameron, a leading authority on preparing JMOs for a successful transition to corporate America and the cofounder of the recruiting firm Cameron-Brooks Inc., this best-selling resource guides candidates through each stage of the job search--from making an application to accepting an offer, with emphasis on mission-critical preparation for the initial and follow-up interviews.

Cameron discusses the wide array of questions you can expect in an interview and gives readers the tools and techniques to develop excellent responses based on a self-assessment of your abilities and accomplishments. Most importantly, he provides confidence-building exercises to help you understand the value of your military experience in a corporate setting.

The author also offers ideas for adapting individual's unique military background to a company's culture and requirements. In addition to a reading list that provides a sound knowledge of basic business concepts, the book contains a wealth of practical tips for writing an effective resume, dressing appropriately, establishing rapport with the recruiter, conveying problem-solving and leadership skills, and much more--while avoiding the many pitfalls that can result in a negative impression.

This edition of PCS to Corporate America, written with the assistance of Cameron-Brooks team members Chuck Alvarez and Joel Junker, has been updated to reflect the current business and military environments. The advice in these pages will not only prepare you for a new future in corporate America but also foster your professional growth as you advance in your business career.

Roger's Techniques Really Work

Roger's techniques helped me get leap ahead of my competition by providing must know tools for a successful career outside the military. I've been out of the USAF for 10 years now. Founded and run a thriving Engineering Company that employs over 15 people and grosses $1.5M per year. You won't go wrong by applying Roger's techniques to your PCS to Corporate America.
