Are you soon to be leaving the military and wondering where to start?! I was fortunate enough to speak with two extremely talented veterans, Pete Kavanagh-Barnes now Head of P3M at Eagle Eye Innovations Ltd, and Drew Campbell UK&I Talent Acquisition at Jacobs who have both successfully navigated the transition. In this insightful interview, Pete and Drew share practical advice and strategic tips for veterans looking to embark on their civilian careers. The employment rate of UK Service leaders has reached a record high of 89% within six months after leaving service and this just goes to show the transferable skills of ex-military personnel should never be underestimated. Read the full interview below and I'd love to hear your thoughts. If you are a veteran exploring new opportunities, or if you are hiring and considering hiring veterans then I hope this article gives you the confidence to go for it! #careertransition #Veterans #Armedforcescovenant

Today, veterans face a real challenge when it comes to finding jobs. Only 38% of employers think veterans have skills that can transfer to civilian jobs.
