Employers step up efforts to recruit, hire veterans

 Veterans may be getting more of the treatment they deserve in the area of employment.  However, many are finding out there their skills are not transferable according to the report.

Here are some things to remember.  Be creative and fair to yourself.  Don't just look at your job title in the military.  Look at the skills that you learned while doing that job.

For instance, if you were in telecommunications it might not translate over in civilian.  However, you may have learned how to communicate effectively, respond to emergencies, solve problems, organize information, manage projects, set up equipment, trouble shoot equipment etc.  All of that is useful to civilian jobs.
here is a government military skills translator
