Veterans bring an amazing spectrum of skills and talent to employers. LinkedIn's own research shows that veterans tend to be promoted faster, stay at employers longer and — are generally — just exceptional employees. Yet, they tend to face a number of barriers when finding work, especially when they first transition out of the military.

James Rodriquez, who is the U.S. Department of Labor’s Assistant Secretary for Veterans Employment and Training Service (VETS), talks with LinkedIn News Editor Andrew Seaman on the latest episode of the Get Hired podcast to explain how veterans can find jobs after their service. The two also discuss what resources are available to help them and their spouses succeed in the private sector. 

This episode is for anyone looking to land a job after their military service. Others will also find great ways to help connect veterans and military families in their lives to opportunities.
