Hiring warriors in higher ed

Like many employers, higher ed institutions are reaching out to military veterans to fill skilled positions. Military service offers rich opportunities for individuals to develop a wide variety of skills that translate to well-paying jobs in the civilian world.

However, deciphering a veteran’s work history is tricky. Resumes may be cluttered with military jargon, acronyms or technical certifications. Without a military background, it’s difficult—if not impossible—for a civilian to assess a veteran’s abilities.
