About the Role

At OTJ Architects, a Most Loved Workplace® certified employer in the Architecture and Design space, Human-centric design for organizations at pivotal moments of growth and transformation..

Veterans are an asset to any company. Employers consider them strong performers and they come to jobs with a broad range of experience and skills that make them extremely valuable to the organization. Ex-military personnel are known to be people with a strong work ethic, dedication to perfection, and the ability to cope with high-pressure situations. However, veterans’ experiences are unique, and don’t always fit neatly into traditional skills boxes. Hiring managers can have difficulties filling gaps between the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for the positions and the resumes provided by applicants. If you’re looking to add more veterans to your team, these strategies can help you understand veteran skills and matching them to your needs.
