Your military background is more valuable than you think — here’s how to translate it into business success.
Leaving military service and stepping into civilian work is a big transition. The good news? With the right help, ex-military members can convert their training, leadership, and resilience into thriving business careers.
Here’s how Shift Group helps you make that change, and what you need to know to get started.
The Challenges
- Identity shift: In the military, your role and structure are clear. Moving to a business environment means redefining what success and leadership look like.
- Different skills, new terms: Many of your strengths, discipline, initiative, teamwork, are highly valued by employers, but they go unrecognized when you don’t talk about them in ways that match civilian job descriptions.
- Unseen opportunity cost: Without a guide, you could settle for a job that doesn’t match your potential. With support, you can find roles that value your unique background and push you forward.
How Shift Group Helps
- Personalized Training
We identify the business skills that will be most relevant for your target roles, communication, sales fundamentals, client interaction, etc. You won’t just learn; you’ll practice in contexts built for ex-military talent. - Storytelling & Presence
Through video profile training, we help you craft and present your background so employers see you, your discipline, presence, and leadership, not just your resume. - Job Board with Relevant Roles
Once your profile is complete, you gain access to curated roles suited for ex-military candidates. These roles value what you bring, and often operate in environments that understand veteran transitions. - Support Through the Process
From interview prep to feedback after applications, you’ll have guidance every step of the way, so you approach the job search strategically, not just reactively.
Redefining Your Mission
Leaving the military doesn’t mean leaving behind your purpose, it means redefining it.
The same leadership, discipline, and resilience that drove your success in uniform can now fuel a career that makes an impact in a different way. By focusing on roles where those traits are valued, whether in business, operations, strategy, or beyond, you’ll find a new mission worth committing to.
