These are just some of the skills and characteristics that transfer well from military service to a career at Bloomberg. <\/p>\n<p>When it comes to recruiting veterans, we\u2019re upping our game. In the past four months alone, several military veterans have accepted offers to join our ranks. \u201cWe are aligning our hiring efforts with the business areas that have the most availability,\u201d says Joe Lopes, who leads Bloomberg&#8217;s recruiting team for the Americas. \u201cSoftware development, sales, data analysis, customer service and network support are all areas we are showcasing as places veterans should look to work at Bloomberg.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Bloomberg provides training programs that allow veterans to transition more easily from military careers to the private sector. Employees are also encouraged to recommend veterans with an interest in technology or finance to apply at Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<p>Lopes hopes that successful efforts in the U.S. will be scaled globally to hire military veterans from other countries. \u201cWe have the jobs,\u201d he says. \u201cWe want to hire vets.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>In the following videos, some of our colleagues discuss the skills and experiences they gained in the military, and how they are put to use at Bloomberg.
