6ers, a recent study showed that 59% of employers believe veterans perform "better than" or "much better than" their non-veteran peers. However, the connection gap in the hiring process of veterans remains high. Companies would tout they have ‘military-friendly’ culture but how many of those companies are actually ‘military-effective’?

This week, Tony Nash is joined by Rob Arndt, a former US Marine Corps, an investor, founder/CEO at BufferSprings, and a Veteran in Residence at Bunker Labs. He is passionate about building military veteran talent acquisition, engagement, and retention solutions that provide immediate and ongoing results for smart companies. Rob is self-educated and joined the USMC in logistics in 2002 until his retirement in 2014.

You will learn about what companies to look for and what questions you can ask them in terms of being a “military-effective” organization that can empower you and give you confidence when applying for a job. You’re a trained leader and team player, you’re goal-oriented and can thrive under stressful environments and these are all skill advantages that employers look for.

Knowing the advantages, benefits, and unique skills you can bring to an organization will help feel more empowered and confident, as a result, to find a job and a career path that can truly fulfill you. This valuable mindset calibration can bring help you find more career opportunities that will bring you closer to the true meaning of success.
