You’ve been through it all—early mornings, long deployments, missions where failure was not an option. Yet when you hang up the uniform and step into the civilian workforce, it can feel like none of that matters. Too many veterans walk into job interviews and get that blank stare from a hiring manager who doesn’t see past the camouflage.
If you’ve ever felt overlooked or misunderstood, you’re not alone. The good news: the problem isn’t you. It’s the translation. And that’s exactly where Military Friendly® steps in.
The Civilian Disconnect Is Real
Most employers want disciplined, loyal, hard-working people on their teams. But here’s the kicker—many don’t know how to connect your military skills to their job openings. That’s not your fault. Civilian job titles rarely match military MOS codes, and HR teams aren’t trained to “speak veteran.”
Military Friendly® data shows that veterans are more likely to be underemployed in their first civilian role compared to their long-term career trajectory. That’s because the system wasn’t built with us in mind.
We’re here to change that.
The Most Tested Talent in the World
Veterans aren’t an unknown quantity—we’re proven. Military Friendly® employer certifications back that up with hard numbers: companies that earn the Military Friendly® designation consistently show higher veteran retention and promotion rates than non-certified organizations.
That means when you connect with employers through Military Friendly® resources, you’re not guessing who “gets it.” You’re walking straight into companies that already know your value and have systems in place to support it.
One Mission. One Standard.
Whether you’re just starting your transition or looking to level up in your career, you don’t have to go it alone. Military Friendly® connects the military community with civilian opportunity in several proven ways:
- Virtual Job Fairs (VJFs): Meet recruiters in real time who understand how your skills align.
- Get Hired Workshops (GHWs): Translate your military background into civilian success stories.
- Military Friendly® Talent Exchange (MFTX): Get matched with employers actively seeking your skills.
- Veteran-focused Articles & Insights: Learn from those who’ve been there, done that, and landed the job.
This is more than a job hunt. It’s a system built to make sure your service gets recognized for what it is: a test of grit, leadership, and adaptability that employers can’t train in a classroom.
