Military Jargon: Breaking Down the Barriers Have you ever found yourself puzzled by military speak? 🤔 It's not uncommon for civilian employers to feel bewildered by the jargon Veterans use during interviews or on their CVs. (Service leavers and veterans take note, you need to adapt!) From "Orders of the Day" to "PPE" (Personal Protective Equipment), these terms can leave recruiters scratching their heads. Take for example, the term "Overhead" - in the military, it often means air support, but in a business context, it's all about expenses. Such differences can sometimes create obstacles to understanding a Veteran's true skills and experience. Understanding these terms is crucial not just for communication, but for appreciating the unique skills Veterans bring to civilian roles. As Veterans adapt to the civilian workforce, it's equally important for employers to bridge this gap. This mutual understanding can pave the way for successful partnerships and a more diversified workforce. Have you encountered any military jargon that left you confused?

Sharing for what I believe could very well be the answer to staff shortages and very rewarding careers for those leaving the services, especially in the farming, food, horticulture and countryside occupations. Having worked (and lived) with military personnel for many years I know the keeness to learn, the commitment and the enthusiasm to try something new. How about butchery courses, charcuterie, cheesemaking, chef courses not to mention robotics and engineering. What about Agricultural Valuing? Estate Management Health and safety Agricultural insurance Farming Charities Farm Tourism Need I go on C’mon see www.socialfarming.org.uk For those who want to rise to the challenge

An insightful post which I share for my whole network; future employers of ex-military personal, veterans and those still serving alike. With an ongoing national productivity crisis, I particularly like this observation; ‘with their aptitude for getting stuff done, ex-forces hires are increasingly attractive to businesses hoping to boost sluggish growth rates’. Obviously I’m not biased in any way! And for those about to start their resettlement journey, the ‘Tips on transitioning to civvy street’ from my good friend Hugh Andree are also worth a read and some reflection; - Exemplify the military qualities - Plan well - Leverage and grow your network - Your CV should get your foot in the door - Tell your stories #armedforces #forcesemploymentcharity #weserved #veterans
