Military experience can be difficult to articulate and explain how it translates into workplace skills valued by employers. In June 2014 AgCareers.com hosted a free webinar for military professionals and veterans interested in learning a few tips to make their experience resonate with potential agribusiness employers. Lisa Rosser, Lieutenant Colonel, USAR RET and founder of The Value of a Veteran, presented the webinar. You can watch the recorded webinar below:
