On this day 82 years ago, more than 156,000 Allied troops crossed the English Channel and landed on the beaches of Normandy, the largest seaborne invasion in history. It was an act of extraordinary courage.

At SaluteMyJob, we are privileged every day to work alongside those who serve and have served. Today, we pause to honour the generation who made the ultimate sacrifice, and to remember the values they carried, duty, courage, and selflessness, live on in those who wear the uniform today.

🎖️ Thursday Tips — your weekly career resource for veterans.

Every Thursday we'll be sharing something useful — interview tips, CV writing advice, real case studies, and how to translate your military skills into language that civilian employers understand. Bookmark us, follow along, and share with anyone who needs it!

This week: the interview room.
You've faced harder things than an interview.
Seriously.
Veterans walk into interviews having led teams under pressure, made high-stakes decisions with incomplete information, and delivered in environments most people couldn't imagine.
And yet — an interview in a meeting room can feel like the hardest thing in the world.
Three things to remember before you walk in:
01 — The interviewer wants you to succeed. They are not the enemy.
02 — Your military experience is not just relevant. In most roles, it is an advantage.
03 — They are hiring a person, not a CV. Let them see who you are.

The transition is not about becoming someone different. It is about showing civilians what you have always been.

🛡️ The last line of defence starts with you.

If your career was built around keeping critical systems running, working in secure environments, and never letting standards slip — this role was made for you.

A DV Cleared QA Test Infrastructure Engineer is needed in Taunton, Somerset. The mission? Make sure what gets built actually holds up when it matters most.
Veterans bring something civilian candidates spend years trying to develop — the instinct to find the failure before it finds you. Secure-by-design thinking. Discipline under pressure. The ability to own a problem end to end.

Sound familiar? Apply now! https://salutemyjob.com/jobs/qa-test-infrastructure-engineer-contract-dv-cleared-taunton-somerset/100246-1/

🔐 DV cleared and wondering what's next?

There's a role in Farnborough that was practically written with veterans in mind — and it's not just about the job title.

It's Senior Infrastructure Engineer at a specialist Defence and National Security technology company. The kind of place where the work genuinely matters, the team gets it, and your background is valued.
But here's what really stands out. Look at what comes with it:

✅ The mission — building secure digital solutions that support Defence and National Security operations.

✅ The package — 25 days leave, free private medical, life assurance, and a pension with 10% employer contributions.

✅ The culture — built around agility, security, innovation and collaboration.

✅ The growth — professional development and certifications supported. They want people to keep getting better.

✅ The environment — secure site with on-site gym, café, restaurant and parking. Not a bad place to spend the working week.

✅ The edge — DV cleared and technically capable? The civilian market spends months trying to get people to where veterans already are. That clearance is a genuine competitive advantage here.

This one is worth a look! https://salutemyjob.com/jobs/infrastructure-engineer-dv-cleared-farnborough-hampshire/100247-1/

Veterans: You're exactly who should be reading this!

Some of the strongest candidates for senior operational roles aren't coming from traditional data centre career paths. They're coming out of the military.

The skills easily translate:

Leadership under pressure ✅
Operational discipline and compliance ✅
Rapid incident response ✅
Managing people with clarity and accountability ✅
Understanding that the mission always comes first ✅

That's exactly what this role demands.

A Data Centre Manager is needed to lead operations across two sites in the Newcastle upon Tyne region — overseeing people, budgets, safety, energy efficiency, and client relationships.

Technical data centre experience is welcomed and valued. But if there's a veteran out there with strong leadership, facility operations, or engineering background who's thinking "I haven't done this exact job" — applications are actively encouraged anyway. Potential and transferable experience matter here.

If you left the military with a security clearance and a head for complex systems — this one's worth a look. 🔐

🎯 Senior VCF Engineer | Contract | Taunton, Somerset | DV Cleared

This isn't your average IT contract. You'd be working on technology that directly supports Defence and National Security missions — secure digital infrastructure that helps people make faster, safer decisions when it matters most.

Think VMware VCF 9.x, NSX networking and security, Aria Suite, NetApp storage integration, lifecycle management — all in highly secure environments alongside engineers and architects who know their stuff.

The team actively brings in people from armed forces backgrounds. They get it. Practical thinking, operational experience, mission focus — that's exactly what they're looking for alongside the technical skills.

You don't need to tick every box. But if you've got:
✅ Expert-level VMware VCF & NSX experience
✅ Background operating in MOD, Gov or National Infrastructure environments
✅ DV clearance
✅ VCP-VMC or VCIX-NV (desirable)
..then seriously, go for it.
