How to identify where you can contribute to the team

Veteran

Ryan B Charlotte, NC

Hello Deloitte Team,

Do you have any recommendations for searching for roles that fit certain skill sets? I have project management, risk, and lean six sigma experience in different environments but I often find myself having trouble finding positions that I am able to understand the job descriptions for, and identify them as potential areas that I could contribute to the team.

Thank you for your time,

Ryan Budroe

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for reaching out, but more importantly thank you for your service!

I would encourage you to first come up with a list of key words that are relevant to the types of positions you're seeking and your specific skillset. For example, instead of searching for "IT" jobs, you would search for Java Developer, or Software Engineer, etc. Most companies offer the option to enter key words when searching for positions on their career sites. This will help narrow down the number of jobs that come up in your search.

Oftentimes, job descriptions are generated by an HR or Legal Team so the description of the work can appear very general in nature. I would advise you to review the "Required Skills/Experience" within the job description, which should list very specifically what they're seeking.

I hope this helps, best of luck in your search!

Sasha
