Transitioning from military service to the civilian workforce is a nuanced process, and being a veteran isn't an automatic job guarantee. Drawing from my experience as a Talent Acquisition professional and conversations with transitioning service members since retiring from the US Navy in 2009, I resonate with Johnny's observations, and I wholeheartedly agree that veterans must transcend the "veteran" label on their resumes. Key Takeaways: 1. Beyond the Uniform: Veterans should emphasize individual attributes and accomplishments rather than relying solely on military background. 2. Initiative Matters: Highlighting initiative is crucial. Veterans must demonstrate how their military experiences translate into tangible value in civilian roles. 3. Pitfall of Entitlement: Focusing on being a veteran, rather than showcasing experiences, can hinder job prospects. Veterans need to articulate success stories, not assume entitlement. https://lnkd.in/e7KNqPns

A recent LinkedIn report found that 33% of veterans are underemployed, and they are 15.6% more likely to be underemployed than nonveterans. But why? Sometimes, it's because recruiters or hiring managers don't know how to translate a veterans' military experience to the private sector. More times than not, veterans are placed in manual labor jobs, or another position that ends up being a bad job fit. When job-searching the internet, most people search by using generic job titles. But what if you're a Gunnery Sergeant? If you're a transitioning Veteran who's frustrated by: Recruiters not knowing how to translate your military job experience You're not finding the right job descriptions that match your experience You not knowing all your options Join our FREE workshop! https://lnkd.in/gYp5xfmP
