The Transferable Skills and Qualities that Lead to Successful Post-Military Careers

For National Military Appreciation Month we want to thank all veterans and current military members for their service and sacrifice. We also want to highlight the valuable skills and qualities many veterans bring to their post-military careers.

Veterans Have A Competitive Edge

Veterans possess unique skills, are highly adaptable and understand the importance of professional responsibility, all of which can be extremely beneficial and easily make for a successful post-military career in a variety of businesses.

With the intensity of military training and experience working in a highly structured environment, veterans usually have the following transferable experience, skills and qualities:

• Leadership training and/or experience
• Collaboration
• Analytical thinking
• Consistent goal setting and evaluation habits
• Awareness of compliance guidelines, rules and regulations
• Stress management capabilities
• Resilience

• Military Spouse Partnership Program – Landrum is proud to connect those who served our country and their spouses with local job opportunities through our partnership with the Military Spouse Employment Partnership (MSEP).
