From Brian Anderson MOAA Career Transition
What is networking? Simply put, networking is about developing casual, professional relationships.
Regardless of your employment status, you should always cultivate and maintain a strong professional network. However, for servicemembers transitioning into a civilian career and for veterans seeking career advancement, networking takes on a heightened importance: It becomes your main source for information, job leads, and potential interview opportunities.
It is conservatively estimated 80% to 85% of all jobs come through networking. Therefore, you need to put in the right amount of effort on networking when you are in job-hunt mode.
Some people tend to spend too much time on résumé development when they should be expanding and strengthening their networks. Initially, I would recommend putting 75% of your time toward networking, with the rest spent on résumé preparation and other administrative tasks. Think of networking as your overarching system and your résumé as just one tool in the toolbox.
Bottom line: You should always be networking, whether you are actively looking for a job or not.

How to Ace a Video Interview
By Yunita Ong, Editor at LinkedIn
More job interviews are taking place online during the pandemic, but there are certain features of interviewing via video that take some getting used to, experts say. Candidates can set themselves up for success by following these tips:
*Test out the video software your interviewer will be using.
*Rehearse your answers in front of a camera – it’s easy to get distracted by your own face on the screen.
*Practice exaggerating your emotions slightly on screen, since it’s harder to convey feelings virtually compared to in real life.
