Serving in HM Forces harms post mil career chances.

Offered without prejudice!

"Having served Queen and country is one of the least attractive attributes in a jobseeker in the eyes of potential employers, new research has found.

A study asked hiring managers to rank how positively they looked on a range of features in a job applicants, including time spent in the forces, qualifications and experiences.

Fewer than half of the 2,000 people questioned – just 47pc – said they saw applicants who had served in uniform as a positive attribute. Only being "well-travelled" or "sporty or active" appearing on a CV were ranked lower."
