EPSHRM Partnered with Centurion Military Alliance

On February 4, 2016, the El Paso Society for Human Resources "EPSHRM" partnered with the Centurion Military Alliance "CMA", to help facilitate a program to help military personnel and spouses transition in to the civilian workforce. EPSHRM volunteers offered their time to help conduct mock-interviews and resume review to our community military and spouses. In doing this we also offered the participants a path to help them improve their interviewing technique, help demilitarize their resume, career coach advice and help guide them in a path that will allow them to identifying a career path that would best compliment their skill sets, core competencies, professional experience and credentials. The workshop was very well received and because of this success, CMA has already scheduled a second workshop in May 2016 for our community warriors.
