Maximising transferable military skills

04/17/24 • 52 min

Did you know that 62% of military veterans underestimate their service-honed skills? Many struggle with imposter syndrome, lack self-belief, and are unaware of their transferable skills.

Royal Naval officer and CEO of Forces Employment Charity, Alistair Halliday, sheds light on this issue and highlights the resilience, teamwork, and strong leadership skills of veterans - and how these can unlock civilian success.

Alistair discusses the importance of recognising and honing your individual skills, and learning how they can be transferred and utilised in different situations. Working in the Forces Employment Charity, he has helped service leavers and veterans to find careers after their military service by helping them to discover the transformative power of their own transferrable skills.

Whether you're a military leaver or someone considering a change, Alistair's extensive and exciting experiences are inspirational and helpful. Discover your own transferrable skills and how to make your Plan B into a Plan A.

Why flexibility should be the new workplace standard

Flexibility First: Lessons from the Founder of the UK's Largest Flexible Working Community

Katy Fridman’s career initially followed a clear traditional trajectory as she worked her way up the corporate ladder to become Acting Director of Trade Marketing, EMEA at Microsoft Advertising.
