What wouldn’t you change about your life?
It’s definitely a question which provokes a lot of thought and even more analysis over what would be an acceptable answer.
However, if we were to ask what you would change about your life we bet you could think of a number of different things instantly and wouldn’t hesitate to tell us them all. Why is this?
Our training and development within the Forces is a big part of the reasoning behind this. We were trained to be modest and not boast about our achievements. As much as these are brilliant traits to have, it’s time to stop eating so much humble pie whilst searching and interviewing for your next career.
Think about everything you have been involved in and embrace it, there is a difference between being outrageously self-centred and merely stating the positive impact you have had whilst being in the Military and the communities you may have helped.
Everyone has done something worth discussing so use your experiences to set yourself apart and be proud of what you have achieved, recruiters / employers will not be impressed by someone who cannot recognise the value they can and have contributed both within and outside of employment.
Good luck to all those seeking new opportunities, and may I take this opportunity to wish you all a safe and prosperous New Year!
