Translation of Military Experience Into  Business Relevance

In this article, we will understand how the translation of military experience into business relevance takes  place.  Military professionals generally have strong leadership experience that is valued a lot in the civilian  environment. At the same time, the  recruiters face the  difficulty in finding a pool of strong leaders outside.  However, when  the corporate recruiters evaluate the military resume, much is lost in the translation.

 All military professionals have certain qualities on the basis of which they are selected for armed forces and are  thus common to all. These qualities are optimally utilized by them while discharging their active duties.  Military veterans generally use the military way to express their skills which HR recruiters find difficult to  translate and understand. Though these veterans are highly skilled , still they don't get the right opportunity  post retirement. The translation chart mentioned below will help in bridging the gap between military  veterans and corporate recruiters.
