G.I. Jobs is a job magazine for armed forces veterans. The magazine focuses on vet-specific issues that may not be covered in mainstream publications, but the advice isn't exclusive to former military personnel.
One article on their websites advises job seekers to sell their leadership experience. They claim that "as a military veteran, you have tenfold the leadership experience as your civilian counterparts." Despite that claim, there are other ways to demonstrate leadership.
Probe jobseekers about time spent on tasks such as:
1. captain of sports teams
2. coaching Little League or other youth activities
3. organizing the PTA and other groups
4. participating in student government
5. coordinating fundraisers
