It’s (often) not what you know but who you know!
Networking is an essential part of your career transition and ongoing career progression. At Business Leaders we actively support and encourage this via our events, openness to feedback and facilitation of wider support using Business Leaders Ambassadors.
Networking is not necessarily a natural skill gained in the Armed Forces however it is vital that you are effective at this on entering the commercial world and beyond.
You may not find it comfortable phoning or emailing someone often out of the blue to ask for help. However, the great thing about the ex military community is that they are happy to help, they will always have time for a coffee and a 30 minute chat so do not be afraid to ask.
However, we can also help you with this via our events and informal Armed Forces networking.
