Why do veterans make such good candidates?
"From top to bottom, ex-military personnel are great for business." - Hugh Andree, former army captain and Co-Founder of weServed.
Did you know that as a veteran, you've gained a wealth of valuable, transferable skills that many employers are crying out for? You've come from a world where teamwork, communication, discipline and problem-solving have become second nature. These skills can be transferred to any workplace:
- Leadership and teamwork: you've got experience working as a unit, you may have led a team. This shows you can make difficult choices and inspire others to reach a shared objective, even in high-pressure situations.
- Adaptability, resilience and problem-solving: you can stay calm under pressure, and solve problems creatively with limited resources. Employers love this because the civilian world is constantly changing, and they need people who don't just cope but actively thrive in dynamic environments.
- Strong work ethic and discipline: punctuality, reliability, and a mission-focused drive are probably second nature to you.
- Communication: your ability to convey information clearly and precisely is a massive asset in any workplace. This translates to any workplace.
- Highly transferable skills: Beyond specific technical training (engineering, IT, logistics), you're comfortable with technology, adhere to safety, and bring valuable real-world experience.
