ADF

Former ADF members are great assets to any organisation. Find out how you can write about your ADF experience in a resume and stand out from your competition, for all the right reasons. 

Leaving the ADF can be a daunting prospect. Whether due to the end of a period of service, redundancy or medical discharge, planning a transition well in advance of your discharge will make the change less stressful and ensure you are as well prepared as possible.

For ADF personnel leaving their familiar military environment, the stress of finding a new career is compounded by the need to adjust to a new lifestyle and civilian work. It’s a difficult task; specialist defence transition services can help with the process.

If you are leaving the ADF, writing a civilian resume will be one of the first steps in your job search. But how can you make your ADF background relevant to the civilian employment market, in terms that a recruiter or employer can recognise and value?
