Veteran transition is hard. Make no mistake about it. When you’ve been in a demanding profession like the military for four years or forty years, it’s not easy to jump right back into civilian life. If you’ve never had to apply for a job, negotiate salary, worry about health benefits, or worst of all… talk about yourself, it’s overwhelming. What’s the actual hiring process? How long can that take? What the heck is an ATS? What if I slept through my mandatory virtual transition class and didn’t learn a thing? These are real problems Veterans face once the contract is up, so what can you do? Where can you turn? Jordana Megonigal and The RECON Network is helping to bridge that gap and assist Veterans with their transition to being a civilian again. The work they do and network they’ve created is needed and welcomed! I had the privledge of sitting on a panel at this year’s Veteran Summit to give Veterans insight from HR’s perspective. As you can see, I was among some of the very best in the business, and I learned a LOT from these leaders. Thank you for the invite, Robyn Knox, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, RCC™! You continue to give so much of your time and talent to the community, and we are lucky to have someone like you advocating for us. Great to see my friends Anna Harris (York), SPHR, Jessica Jenkins, BBA, SHRM-CP, Shannon Sports, and of course Scott W. Cook! To my fellow Veterans: You can control your attitude in the process. Never give up on yourself or those around you. Lean on your network heavily, and continue to do your research on companies you’re interested in. Don’t be the 50%! If your current plan isn’t working, cancel it and regroup. You would have done the same on active duty, so why start losing now? You bring so much to the table, and employers want that level of discipline and talent on their team. Leverage your network and resume to get that interview or conversation. The rest is easy!

If veterans don’t “fit in,” maybe it’s the system that needs to adapt. 👆This is a powerful reminder from our fellow veterans in the transition space. Organizations often expect #veterans to mold themselves into corporate roles without fully appreciating the diverse and valuable skills they bring from their military careers. But the reality is clear: → Veterans are highly trained, adaptable, and mission-driven. Rather than asking them to "fit in," the goal should be to integrate their unique talents into the fabric of your organisation. Here’s why you should consider veterans as a catalyst for organizational success: 1. 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 – They've managed high-stakes operations under pressure. 2. 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 – They've led diverse teams towards a common goal. 3. 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 – Adapting to change is second nature. 4. 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 – They bring an unparalleled work ethic and dedication. 5. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦-𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 – Tactical thinking is in their DNA. Incorporating veterans into your workforce isn’t just a '𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞.' It’s a '𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐭' business move.

The Strategic Advantage of Hiring Veterans Today, on Veteran’s Day, we honor the sacrifices and dedication of our military veterans, who have shown unparalleled commitment to their country. For employers, this is also a time to reflect on the immense value veterans bring to the workforce. Hiring retired military personnel isn’t just a gesture of appreciation—it’s a strategic advantage. Veterans bring with them skills that are hard to teach but critical in every industry: adaptability, integrity, resilience, and a commitment to mission success. With experience in high-stress environments, they know how to stay calm under pressure and manage complex projects with discipline and focus. They’ve been trained to lead, solve problems creatively, and prioritize teamwork, all of which translate into success in any organization. Beyond skill sets, hiring veterans enriches company culture and strengthens diversity of thought. These professionals have worked with teams from all backgrounds and perspectives, fostering inclusivity and respect in every workplace. To all veterans: thank you for your service. And to all organizations, let’s continue to recognize the value of our veterans by providing them opportunities to thrive and lead. Hiring a veteran isn’t just honoring their past; it’s investing in a brighter future. #VeteransDay #HiringVeterans #Leadership #Diversityandinclusion
