INTERVIEW TIPS : VETERANS

One thing that many veterans worry about when they go into interviews after their term of service is over is their possible lack of formal education or their lack of a “typical” work history. And while this can be an issue for the veteran who wants to get into a specific job market like engineering or medicine, the average job can be obtained easily by a veteran regardless of his or her educational status.

During the interview, veterans would do well to highlight their military service and the skills they learned there that will parlay into the work force. For example, the average veteran has an uncanny capability to follow a task through to completion even under the most intense stress. Also, veterans can easily identify priorities and can accomplish their priorities despite obstacles. And two of the most important skills the veteran has over the average person are leadership and teamwork skills. Emphasizing these things will benefit any veteran in any job interview.
