It's a challenge for us (Veterans) to have the ability to corelate our experience and explain that to the Recruiter/HR Rep.

We advise when advice is warranted, but do as we are told to reach mission success. We follow our leaders and when we find ourselves in the position of leading - we do!

Many civilian only employees have,,, perplexing,,, loyalties. SSG Trevor S.

I've attended 5 different employer panels at Fort Richardson to learn what employers look for, pitfall and success stories.<br /><br />The one thing all employers want and value about military members is...<br /><br />... that we show up to work. And on time!<br /><br />Every time they all say the same thing. MAJ Raúl Rovira Sat, 30 May 2015 01:53:15 -0400 2015-05-30T01:53:15-04:00 2015-05-29T11:13:45-04:00
