Common questions from Veterans seeking career support from Ironside Resources.
Ironside Resources is committed to empowering Veterans in their transition to civilian careers. Below, we address frequently asked questions from Veterans on how we can assist in navigating your career transition.
I’m ready, how do I get started?
The best way to get started working with us and benefitting from Ironside’s support is by completing our Candidate Registration Form where we ask for some basic information and your CV if you have one.
This allows us to tailor the support we provide and match your unique skills, needs and personality with the right job opportunities.
How can Ironside Resources assist me in transitioning from the ADF to a civilian career?
Primarily, we are all about helping you with that pointy end piece, actually getting you a great career opportunity after your time in the ADF or when you’re considering a career change, in your post ADF life. However, we also add value to the recruitment process by providing career guidance, resume writing, and access to upskill programs, as well as onboarding support and support in your new days of employment with the company we place you with.
What support services does Ironside Resources offer Veterans?
Ironside Resources provides comprehensive support services tailored to Veterans’ needs. Our services include career guidance, skills assessment, CV building, interview preparation, job search assistance, and ongoing mentoring to ensure a smooth transition into civilian employment.
Can Ironside Resources help me identify career opportunities aligned with my military experience?
Absolutely. We recognise the unique skills and experiences Veterans bring to the table and work closely with you to identify career paths that leverage your military background. Whether you’re interested in continuing in a similar field or exploring new industries, we’ll help you find opportunities that align with your skills and interests.
We also frequently publish available jobs on our website.
Does Ironside Resources provide assistance with CV writing and job applications?
The great thing about working with us, is we provide you with side door access to our great range of employers. They’re listening to what we tell them about you, so less of the focus is on the traditional cover letter and CV you provide. However, if you want help with your CV and cover letter, we certainly can do that and if you need further help, we’ll steer you in the right direction.
How does Ironside Resources help Veterans leverage their unique skills in the civilian workforce?
We work with employers who already see the value of Veterans in their workplace – that’s why they are working with us. The key value we provide is in sourcing the right Veteran candidates that will be uniquely suited to their workplace based on our knowledge of Defence skills and training.
What industries does Ironside Resources specialise in for Veteran placement?
Ironside Resources works across a wide range of industries, including but not limited to, construction, mining, logistics, manufacturing, IT, finance, and healthcare. We have partnerships with employers in these sectors who actively seek to hire Veterans for their unique skills and work ethic.
Can Ironside Resources connect me with employers who value military experience?
Absolutely. We have established relationships with employers who recognise and appreciate the value that Veterans bring to their organisations. We actively connect Veterans with these employers, providing them with access to job opportunities where their skills and experience are highly valued.
How long does the transition process typically take with Ironside Resources?
The transition process varies depending on individual circumstances and career goals. Our team works with each Veteran on a personalised timeline, taking into account factors such as skill level, job market conditions, and desired industry. We strive to make the transition timing/notice period as smooth and efficient as possible, providing ongoing support until our Veterans successfully secure employment.
Is there ongoing support available from Ironside Resources after securing a civilian job?
Yes, our support doesn’t end once you’ve secured a job. We offer ongoing mentoring, career coaching, and networking opportunities to help Veterans thrive in their new roles. Our goal is to ensure your long-term success and satisfaction in your civilian career, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Do you only work with veterans of the Australian Defence Force?
While our primary focus is on assisting veterans of the Australian Defence Force, we also work with partners and family members of serving and former ADF members.
Are there any fees associated with your services for candidates?
No, our services for candidates are completely free of charge. We are committed to assisting veterans in their transition to civilian careers and as a certified social enterprise, we do actually spend a lot of time supporting Veterans in the employment search, that we don’t end up linking to job opportunities with our clients. That’s why we do what we do, we genuinely love it.
How can I stay updated on new job opportunities?
