As veterans, many of us struggle with translating our military skills into civilian roles. Have you tried any specific tools or resources to help identify your transferable skills? I recently came across a career assessment that helped me see how my leadership experience aligns with project management roles. Would love to hear what’s worked for you.
Totally get that struggle. I’ve found that creating a personal skills inventory helped me map my military experience to job descriptions more clearly, especially around how my own leadership aligns with project management roles. Did you find any specific assessments particularly useful?
But i’ve been using the My Skills My Future tool lately, and it really helped me connect my military experience with civilian job titles. It’s a bit tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, you can see those overlaps in skills more clearly. Have you tried any similar assessments like that?
Have you thought about using LinkedIn’s career insights? It helped me draw parallels between my military leadership and roles in management. Sometimes it’s just about framing our experiences the right way. @emorris72, have you had any luck with that?
I think that assessment tool you found is a great starting point. I used a similar resource to clarify how my communication skills from the military easily translate to civilian roles, especially in team settings. How did you find the process of aligning your leadership experience with those project management roles?
