) Don’t forget about our LinkedIn networking group too, found on
LinkedIn at Soldier for Life ? Transition Assistance Program Connection
Group!
A summary of the planned events is below:
? Twitter Chat with partners from multiple Army organizations, as well
as participants from industry non-profits, recruiters, companies, and
Soldiers about job seeking and resumes.
As a heads up, over 150 companies/organizations have reached out so far to participate in the
3 August
Twitter Chat. Over 50 have double-confirmed attendance (so this event
is going to be big!). We would appreciate you helping to keep the
momentum during this campaign high and encouraging Soldiers to
participate. The networking opportunities for these events are huge for
Soldiers - and everyone can participate at any time via their phone,
laptop, or computer nationally/internationally! I will begin to send out
event graphics and advertisements for you to spread the word soon!
? A Facebook contest featuring YOUR best advice for transitioning Soldiers.
The big news for this week is that the Facebook Best Advice for Transitioning Soldiers Contest starts
on Thursday!
The winner will be announced via Facebook Live by the Sergeant Major of
the Army, Daniel Dailey in August. We will post the submission
guidelines on our page
Thursday and create the album. Stay tuned to
www.facebook.com/ArmySFLTAP for advertisements that lead up to the announcement and when to watch SMA Dailey go live later this summer.

transitioning through SFL-TAP, including personal branding, networking,
and social media.
