Jobs for JAGs 2011 program materials available for purchase

Major General Joe Lynch (USAFR retired), MOAA secretary and general counsel, began the day with a discussion entitled “Marketing Yourself for a Second Career.”  During this lively session he discussed cataloging and describing the legal and non-legal skills JAGs acquire on active duty, identifying legal and non-legal career paths and opportunities, networking, and the mechanics of the interview process.

The luncheon address was delivered by Major General William K. Suter (U.S. Army, retired), the 19th Clerk of the Supreme Court of the United States. General Suter has delivered the keynote address at all but one of the Jobs for JAGs events and in his typical fashion, delivered sage wisdom and advice to those considering new career opportunities.
