Between consulting with employers regarding the advantages of hiring military, to hearing stories from those service members I’ve placed in the civilian world, to my own personal experiences transitioning into the civilian sector, I’ve heard military stereotypes that run the gamut from John Wayne to Rambo to more recently The Hurt Locker.

Many employers that I work with (the most successful ones) attack the military candidate hiring process with calculated precision, like the movements of a fine watch. Likewise, my experience has been when military sourcing / hiring / recruiting isn’t working for a client, the hiring process is often the culprit. From resume screening to online [...]

The Army and Marine Corps use “MOS” groups (Military Occupational Specialty). The Air Force separates their skills into “AFSC” groups (Air Force Specialty Codes).
