FOLLOW THESE 3 EASY STEPS TO GET HIRED FAST!
STEP 1 - BUILD YOUR TARGET LIST & COMPLETE FORM
- Please concentrate on small companies where it is easy to reach the CEO or a hiring decision-maker. Targeting only big guys like Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and Facebook is more difficult.
- If you lack direct experience in the civilian career you desire, consider completing your SkillBridge internship in your military MOS field. Your existing experience will make you a more marketable candidate.
- Do you have a family friend who works at a local company? Your personal network is an ideal connection.
Here’s what we need you to do today. Don’t delay because the more time that you have available for your SkillBridge internship, the more appealing that you’re going to be to the hiring company.
This is extremely easy it let me share my screen with you and I’ll walk you through how to do this. Its super easy.
So here is where I want you to go first is to Google Maps. So just go to google.com/maps right up there.
It’ll take you to a page that looks like this and then in the top search bar here up on the left, you’re going to plug in your hometown and what you are looking to do.
If you know the industry you want to work in here, I’m using this example of drone companies.
So I typed in “drone companies in Colorado Springs” right there, okay. And that then what comes up are the companies that are listed as drone companies there.
It’s not the end-all they’re other resources I’m sure that you can just do regular Google searches to find other companies. This isn’t the perfect list but it’s a good place to start anyway.
If you don’t know that you want a specific industry, you know here it was drone. If you just for example it’s say your sales rep or a techie or cyber, those appeal to you know every almost every company out there.
So then you might want to change this from drone companies to like top companies in Colorado Springs or just companies in Colorado Springs. And you’ll start to see bigger lists and what your job to do now is to narrow that list down.
So after you get that initial list then on the left side here, you’re going to go through you can see the results come up on the left here.
They’re also on the little red pins and then you’re just going to click on them one at a time the ones that look interesting.
So here’s one of them I just clicked, Pike Peaks Aerial and then from here, you’re just doing a quick evaluation and you’re trying to
determine is this the type of company that you would like to see for your SkillBridge opportunity.
Could you see yourself working here? You know so click around go to the about us page, read about the company you’re trying to gage, the size of that company. Is this you know is this culture at this firm gonna fit your requirements. Are they doing the kind of work that you want to do.
Don’t worry about when you’re clicking around. Don’t worry about the careers. Like here’s another example of a page, so this is another one of those listings drone nerds and I clicked on the about and then careers.
And I don’t want you to necessarily do this like to see who they’re currently hiring because we truly feel that a lot of our a lot of these companies are going to make positions for you, right.
We’re going to present them with a really appealing offer which is to have you come basically be an unpaid intern there and they’re not necessarily going to have have those positions promoted.
So don’t get turned off by anything you see on a career page. As long as it’s the type of company you want to work for, I would include them on your list.
Alright, good luck. Reach out to us if you have any questions and let’s make this work!

WE MAKE THIS EASY FOR YOU!
I’m [YOUR NAME], an active duty service member in the [YOUR BRANCH].
I’m excited to share information about the SkillBridge program, an outstanding Department of Defense On-the-Job Training initiative. This program allows me to spend my final 3-4 months of service working full-time for a civilian company of my choice, and [COMPANY] is at the top of my list.
The program aims to help service members like me transition into civilian careers while providing your company with a highly talented, dedicated, and hard-working team member. Since I will continue to receive my military salary and benefits, your company can expect to save approximately $15,000.
You’ll also have the unique opportunity to evaluate my performance before deciding whether to offer me a permanent position as a W2 employee after the SkillBridge program. It’s a risk-free way to find your next great hire.
Would you be interested in learning more about hosting me for a SkillBridge internship? It’s an excellent way to support a transitioning military veteran like me.
I am being sponsored by 7 Eagle Group, and the next step would be for me to introduce you to them so they can answer all of your questions and facilitate the setup if you’re interested.
