As a recruiter, I am always interested in what attracts a person to a job. What attracts you, as a veteran, to an employer?

For me, it's the people & culture inside the organization. That is always my #1.

Will it be something I enjoy and look forward to doing daily? Is there a future in the position or am I stuck without any chance of promotion? Is the office very quiet without any interactions between employees or is there discussion across cubes and aisles?

Are there any signs of micro-management in the organization? A very quick turn off for me.

For me it I look for something I know I am good at. I came in late at 31, so I had various jobs before joining. I was an Inventory Clerk, Automotive Parts Counter Person, Drove Dump Trucks, and even worked at a Computer Store as the Tech Manager. I recently have been applying to the USPS because my time transfers over and it is still Federal work. I am still thinking about going NG as well so defiantly trying to find something that is Military friendly.
