ELI5: Why is it so hard for veterans to find jobs?
gpt
Veterans like to write about the things they did in the army in their applications. They write about the planes they flew and the time they spent with their fellow soldiers and all the medals they got.

However, when a potential boss looks at that application, unless he was in the army or likes reading about the army, he probably wont know what half of those things mean. He knows they're good, but not how good. But what the boss does know is the value of experience in a similar job gained by another applicant. So he goes with what he knows and takes the regular civilian.
