Is Networking Really Important for Military Service Members and Veterans?

Описание: Is it really about who you know when it comes to the job search?

For most service members, veterans, and spouses, the job search is the most stressful part of the transition.

That stress keeps service members serving longer than they planned.
It keeps veterans stuck in roles that do not feel meaningful.
It keeps spouses hesitant to make a move because the risk feels too risky.

A lot of that stress comes from feeling disconnected.
Applying online. Waiting. Not knowing how hiring decisions actually get made.

At Vets2PM, we work with 60+ recruiters and hiring managers through DoD SkillBridge, Career Skills Program, and direct hire opportunities.

One thing they tell us consistently.
Referred candidates have a higher chance of getting hired.

Referrals do not guarantee a job.
They show that relationships matter. Being known. Being trusted. Being more than a name on a resume.

This is why networking is part of the job search. Not optional.

Episode 141 of the Military Transition Academy podcast breaks this down in a practical way. It is a networking master class.
