identifiable and transferable skills, proven in real-world
situations. This background can enhance your organization's
productivity.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

translate into protection of employees, property, and
materials.
