🇺🇸Today, I stand proud, reminding everyone of the sacrifices made in silence by the men and women serving in our nation’s military. #ArmedForcesDay When hiring veterans, it is important to recognize and appreciate 5 valuable skills they bring from their military service to the civilian workforce. 1. **Leadership** - Service members often receive training in leadership that includes managing teams, making critical decisions under pressure, and inspiring others to work towards common goals. 2. **Discipline** - The structured environment of the military instills discipline, teaching individuals to meet deadlines, follow procedures, and maintain a high level of professionalism. 3. **Adaptability** - Military personnel are accustomed to rapidly changing environments and situations, making them particularly adept at adjusting to new challenges and diverse workplace settings. 4. **Teamwork** - The military emphasizes the importance of teamwork to accomplish missions, which translates well into any collaborative environment in the civilian sector. 5. **Problem-solving** - Facing complex situations in often high-stakes scenarios, service members develop keen problem-solving skills, enabling them to navigate difficulties efficiently and effectively. #Military #HireOurVeterans

Today, we honour the courageous service members of the UK Armed Forces. Did you know that there are an estimated 2.6 million veterans in the UK, with 900,000 of working age? Many veterans leave the forces each year in search of new career opportunities. According to a survey by SSAFA, one-third of recruiters are reluctant to hire ex-military personnel, and more than half of veterans do not mention their military service in their CVs. Here at Careers Springboard, we're proud to support veterans in their transition. We understand the valuable skills developed during military service and have prepared tips on translating those transferable skills to the civilian workforce. #UKArmedForcesDay #Veterans #CareerChange #Upskilling #FreeOnlineCourses #JobSearch #MidCareer #Recruitment #CVReview #CareerCoaching #InterviewSkills

As part of #ArmedForces week, today marks specific recognition of those in our Reserve Armed Forces. You might even spot some wearing their military uniform to their civilian work today, where safe and practicable. Reservists are commonly cited as "twice the citizen" as they choose to support the Armed Forces in their spare time, typically during the evenings and weekends, but occasionally full-time when the country needs additional support. I was an Army Reservist for 13 years. I had a huge amount of opportunities presented to me which helped my professional development, which, in turn, my employers were able to benefit from. Whether that was transferring ideas/best practice/working models to/from the military and civilian worlds, or in the training & experience I gained in leadership and operational roles. Do you know any Reservists? How does your company support and enable them?

Armed Forces Veterans' Day is a special occasion celebrated on January 14th to honor the service rendered by the First Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Field Marshal KM Cariappa. As we recognize their service, we are reminded of the military virtues of honor, courage, and self-sacrifice that inspire soldiers and civilians alike. Many military personnel undergo a transition from their military careers to civilian employment each year, including those who serve in the Indian Army, Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard. It was an honor to meet some of these inspiring veterans during Aero India 2023. Their passion and dedication were truly remarkable.
