Know Your Worth: Looking Beyond Entry-Level Positions

Jessica Reynolds, Military Recruitment Programs Manager at L3Harris, joins Jill New, our Career Programs and Outreach Manager, for a conversation about how veterans and Skillbridge applicants should be aiming their sights a little higher than entry-level positions. Jessica is considered to be a leading expert in the business sector for military recruitment.

Jill sits down with Jessica Reynolds from L3Harris and chats about knowing your worth and looking beyond entry-level positions. Here's the bottom line:

When you're looking for a new career or a new position, it's vital to build your network. You can find people like Jessica and Jill on LinkedIn -- and you can also connect with other recruiters and hiring managers here. Start networking

When discussing your experiences -- particularly the ones that will help you qualify for something beyond entry-level -- focus on transferrable skills and all of your past experiences. Consider listing your experiences, both paid and volunteer, in months so that the time adds up to the required number of years. Think about your transferrable skills and make sure to highlight those skills through the lens of what you can do, not what you have done.
