Your Veterans' Employment Community

About us

Please make the most of this page however we also invite you to also download JobOppO House, our app-based virtual employment community for Veterans and Service Leavers full of 1000s of OppOs looking to help or be helped. JobOppO is Britain's most agile Veterans' Employment Community. Built by Veterans for Veterans, we understand the mindset that's necessary to "Change Gear" when leaving the military to become a Veteran - most of our team have been through it, and when it comes to finding a new role, we want Veterans and Service Leavers to be aware of their worth and we encourage employers to think differently. It can be hard yes, but it's far from impossible. A positive mindset, a supportive network, an understanding of who to talk to and an appreciation of where a Veterans or Service Leavers can make a difference is what's needed to succeed. Not a shiny CV. JobOppO puts Network above Paperwork! While we have a jobs board as an essential part of the JobOppO eco-system, JobOppO put the Veteran first, working hard to ensure they find meaningful employment that enables them to utilise the knowledge, skills and experience they picked up during their previous career. Additionally, we seek to work with employment partners who wish to employ those from the Veteran community because they know they will add value, organisations who wish to hire Veterans for performance - not pity. JobOppO seeks to change the narrative, to speak more positively about "Changing Gear" and to advocate widely about the value Veterans and Service Leavers can and do add their future employers. Thanks.

    "Dom's podcasts - A guiding light for Veterans 🌟" Listening to the struggles and triumphs of others can make a huge difference. That's why we're thrilled with Dom's podcast series, which has become a vital tool for Veterans sharing their own experiences in "Changing Gear" and finding their place in the civilian world. Dom's empathy and understanding shine through in each episode. Listeners feel seen and heard.

    Podcasts: A Platform for Veterans to Share and Connect Podcasts have become a powerful tool for Veterans to share their stories and connect with a supportive community. As a Veteran Advocate, I've seen firsthand how these platforms can bridge the gap between military and civilian life, offering a space for genuine conversations and mutual support. Through my work on "NAAFI Break" and "Changing Gear," I've had the privilege of engaging with countless Veterans and Service Leavers. These podcasts not only provide a platform for storytelling but also foster a sense of belonging. Veterans can hear from others who have walked similar paths, gaining insights and encouragement for their own journeys. It's about creating a network where experiences are shared, and lessons are learned. At JobOppO, we believe in the power of these connections. Our community thrives on the shared experiences and mutual support that podcasts can offer. By listening to these stories, Veterans can find inspiration and practical advice for their transition into civilian life. It's more than just a job search; it's about finding a new purpose and building a fulfilling second career. If you're a Veteran or Service Leaver, I encourage you to tune into our podcasts and join the conversation. Share your thoughts in the comments, connect with others, or visit joboppo.co.uk to discover more about how we can support your journey. #Veterans #Podcasts #Community

    Ask the right questions! 🎯 Interviews are a two-way street. While it's crucial to showcase your skills and experience, it's equally important to ensure the role and company align with your goals. Here are some questions to consider asking at the end of your next interview: - ✅ "Can you tell me more about the team I'll be working with?" - ✅ "What does success look like in this role?" - ✅ "How does the company support professional development and career growth?" - ✅ "What are the biggest challenges the team is currently facing?" - ✅ "How would you describe the company culture?" These questions not only demonstrate your genuine interest in the role but also help you gauge if the company is the right fit for you. Remember, an interview is as much about you assessing them as it is about them assessing you. What other questions do you think are essential to ask? Share your thoughts in the comments! 👇 #JobInterview #CareerAdvice #VeteranEmployment

    Are you ISOH aware and a keen sailor? We've been asked to share this fantastic opportunity that's been offered up to the JobOppO community... "This is a temporary one-off opportunity. I’m looking for someone, ideally a Veteran, who is IOSH aware/experienced/(perhaps)qualified who can write and review risk assessments for our events, and draft some incident response plans for World Cruising. An adaptable thinker would be better than someone who simply has the quals. They would need to relate to what we do – which we could help with 1:1s and copies of existing procedures etc. If they were a sailor that might be easier too – but not essential." This is a short term task but is clearly a great opportunity for someone to get a foot in a few doors. Get in touch with Garrath Williams or Dominic O'Sullivan 🤝for more details and an intro.   https://lnkd.in/e4v-BJT9
