Hire Heroes USA’s Post

Employers considering hiring a veteran: Don't fixate on what that person's job was in the military; understand how they were trained to be part of a successful team, adept and overcoming obstacles and getting the mission accomplished. Those attributes are transferrable. When you frame those realities with the needs of your organization, you ought to be signing an offer letter to bring them aboard as soon as possible.

I've come to realize that regardless of whether you served 1, 5, 10, or 20+ years in the military, while the military undoubtedly instills adaptability that can accelerate success in any job, it doesn't inherently qualify you for every role. Leveraging Soft Skills: In the civilian job market, our primary assets are the soft skills acquired in the military. These skills need to be strategically highlighted on resumes, tailored to align with the specific positions being pursued. Tailoring for Transition: While some industries seamlessly absorb military veterans within their existing frameworks, venturing into entirely different fields requires a strategic approach. The key is to effectively communicate transferable skills to recruiters, increasing the likelihood of standing out and securing opportunities in diverse sectors. Remember, the ability to articulate and highlight your soft skills is the bridge that connects your military experience to success in your new civilian career. #MilitaryTransition #CareerAdvice #SoftSkills
