Presenter: Kelly Hopkins; Organisation: HAYS Recruiting
Show notes:
Your military experience isn't the problem. The way you're translating it is. Kelly Hopkins, National Defence Director at Hays, says the gap between the uniform and the boardroom is translation, not capability. In this session, she shows you how to close it, so recruiters can advocate for you in rooms you're not in.
In this episode:
- Reframing rank, jargon and service achievements into commercial language
- The four-part story structure: context, action, result, value
- Why "full credit to the team" undersells you in an interview
- Rebuilding your CV and LinkedIn for civilian recruiters
- A practical 30-day transition plan you can start the day you decide to leave
