Veterans need to translate combat skills to corporate skills on resumes

“Military vets become uncomfortable talking about themselves, as it may be seen as bragging and frowned upon,” says Chad Storlie, a retired US Army Special Forces officer and the author of “Combat Leader to Corporate Leader” and “Battlefield to Business Success” who blogs at Combat To Corporate. “The first thing they have to do is get comfortable with selling themselves and what they can do for another company. They shouldn’t downplay their accomplishments. They should offer an honest and open appraisal of everything they did and that they can bring.”
