In episode three of Hidden Talent, host Erin Trafford guides us as we learn how military Veterans can successfully transition from a highly organized, highly structured chain of command culture that’s focused on the mission to a work environment that expects the individual to bring value to a product or service.   We hear from military Veterans Chris Stoyles and Trevor Vautour about how they unlocked their skill sets and provided value to the civilian workforce as they transitioned out of the Canadian Armed Forces   Lisa Taylor continues to provide context and breaks down the gaps between Veterans and civilian employers, including the disheartening lack of awareness of what really happens in military service. And, employer Janine Harris has an epiphany about the hidden talent of military Veterans.   Specifics of the episode:   Why the civilian career landscape often looks like an inhospitable planet to the military Veteran How the gap in career advice can sometimes limit the transition from military to civilian life How asking a Veteran a key question during an interview allows them to shine, enabling the employer to gain valuable insight and to develop rapport
