Our team finds a lot of great posts on transition, and this Shelley Piedmont article represents what we consider a gold mine of transition information. 

One thing we want our readers to understand from this article is that when a company posts a position with specific wording for a job or positions, it’s a clever idea to add these to your key words in your profile.    Sometimes, military members from the Military Transition Roundtable, our non-profit group that supports this web site, have found that the military terms a job capability one way, while a civilian employer uses another version of the same term.. 

Charles Swarts, a staffing professional, told us several years ago that if those key terms are listed in a profile not only for the about section but also their experience section that it causes the LinkedIn algorithm to key in on those terms.    If major employers are using a specific spelling for a term, it’s an innovative idea to use them as part of your LinkedIn key words additions. 

If you are unsure about how to add those key skills to your LinkedIn profile, please go to this Coffee Bunker YouTube video.   It will show why you must add those key skills to your profile.
