10 Reasons to Hire Veterans
1.
Accelerated learning curve.
 Veterans
have the proven ability to learn new skills and concepts. In addition, they
can enter your workforce with identifiable and transferable skills, proven
in real-world situations. This background can enhance your organization's
productivity.
2. Leadership.
The military trains people to lead by example as well as through direction,
delegation, motivation, and inspiration. Veterans understand the practical
ways to manage behaviors for results, even in the most trying circumstances.
They also know the dynamics of leadership as part of both hierarchical and
peer structures.
3. Teamwork.
Veterans understand how genuine teamwork grows
out of a responsibility to one's colleagues. Military duties involve a blend
of individual and group productivity. They also necessitate a perception of
how groups of all sizes relate to each other and an overarching objective.
4. Diversity and inclusion in action.
Veterans have learned to work side by side with individuals regardless of
diverse race, gender, geographic origin, ethnic background, religion, and
economic status as well as mental, physical, and attitudinal capabilities.
They have the sensitivity to cooperate with many different types of
individuals.
5. Efficient performance under pressure.
Veterans understand the rigors of tight schedules and limited resources.
They have developed the capacity to know how to accomplish priorities on
time, in spite of tremendous stress. They know the critical importance of
staying with a task until it is done right.
6. Respect for procedures.
Veterans have gained a unique perspective on the value of accountability.
They can grasp their place within an organizational framework, becoming
responsible for subordinates' actions to higher supervisory levels. They
know how policies and procedures enable an organization to exist.
7. Technology and globalization.
Because of their experiences in the service, veterans are usually aware of
international and technical trends pertinent to business and industry. They
can bring the kind of global outlook and technological savvy that all
enterprises of any size need to succeed.
8. Integrity.
Veterans know what it means to do "an honest day's work." Prospective
employers can take advantage of a track record of integrity, often including
security clearances. This integrity translates into qualities of sincerity
and trustworthiness.
9. Conscious of health and safety standards.
Thanks to extensive training, veterans are aware of health and safety
protocols both for themselves and the welfare of others. Individually, they
represent a drug-free workforce that is cognizant of maintaining personal
health and fitness. On a company level, their awareness and
conscientiousness translate into protection of employees, property, and
materials.
10. Triumph over adversity.
In addition to dealing positively with the typical issues of personal
maturity, veterans have frequently triumphed over great adversity. They
likely have proven their mettle in mission critical situations demanding
endurance, stamina, and flexibility. They may have overcome personal
disabilities through strength and determination.

Marketing your Military
Experience
Anyone thinking about leaving the service
should read this
book at least 18 months before
separating, whether leaving after one hitch, or a 20+ year retirement. Mr.
Henderson has laid out in a clear, logical manner all the things that must
be considered before transitioning into the civilian work force. Most
military people simply haven't thought about leaving the service until it is
upon them. This book is a "primer". It will get you started in the creation
of your own personal transition plan, one that meets your needs. Not a "one
size fits all" book by any means, you build your own plan. The book lays out
a foundation, the details are your personal choice. In fact, the amount of
other sources of important information referenced in the book is one of it
most valuable strengths.
