11 Things Smart People Won't Say!

Thought this was a great article on LinkedIn to share with future employees heading out into the civilian world as they transition out of the military (or) those still seeking employment.

Good advice. Some of these are just bad habits of speech while others speak to poor attitude.

COL Mikel Burroughs,

Sir, that is a very good article and thank you for posting. They are all good points to remember before going into an interview. This one goes into my #Evernote

If service members and veterans have the time, they should consider reading Emotional Intelligence 2.0 which is promoted on the article. I read it as part of a college class and has made a difference for me at work and ads value when I am interviewing for jobs.

Awesome MAJ Raúl Rovira I wanted to post something that could be of value especially for the younger men and women getting ready to take on the civilian world. Some are just common sense, but I have an old saying: "If isn't said, it isn't heard!" By the way that’s not original, but I used it for so long it feels like its mine!
