Careers for Veterans In Transition from Active Duty
We work with the USO transition program and put our hiring managers through special training to help veterans see an easier way they can get back to civilian life - through a rewarding career at Blue Cross NC. Our hiring managers:
- Look for transferable skills on each military resume
- Ask behavioral awareness questions during veteran interviews
- Consider a candidate’s military rank as a plus, and
- Follow veteran retention practices in the workplace

"I am so proud to be a U.S. Navy veteran. That experience gave me the confidence to believe I could do anything I set my mind to. I've had great opportunities here at Blue Cross NC. I started in customer service, became a business analyst, then to informatics, followed by program management. I have an equally awesome team. We have even been skydiving together!"
Sherry Mullies
Lead Program Manager
"The primary skills I gained in the Air Force were time management and the ability to effectively work as part of a team. The military is very team-focused, so the ability to focus on a common goal and work as part of a larger team has been critical in my role at Blue Cross NC. The military also trained me how to effectively prioritize my work, delegate to others, and creatively problem solve which are additional skills I’ve been able to leverage to be successful at our organization."
