Did you know it's National Hire a Veteran Day? That's my kiddo when he was four, representing military families. :) I am incredibly lucky in that I have an amazing support network that helped my find my place in life 2.0. I'm so glad I also had resources like Centurion Military Alliance (CMA) to help me figure out what I wanted to do in my second career and how to talk to all the reasons why hiring a vet (ME!) is a good idea. Double lucky that I found a home at Spectrum where I am valued and appreciated for myself, my service, and my contributions. They really understand the value we bring, and want more of us to join their team! With that, here's my own top 10 list of why you should hire a vet! 1. We learn quick. Every assignment is different, and every team is different. We're used to just figuring it out... and we do! 2. We know how to come to work every day on time and work while we are there. Reliability is something we do. 3. We do teamwork. We use "we" a lot for a reason. It's because we understand that it takes a team to get things done. 4. Leadership is a skill we are expected to develop early on, and we have lots of opportunity to practice it. We also know how to mentor and teach others to lead! 5. We've done a lot! See item #1. That gives us unique experiences and a broad perspective. 6. We are flexible and resilient. We understand how to shift priorities as needed and become what's needed to perform in a role. 7. Crisis management. We are familiar with and often comfortable in high pressure and high stakes situations. When people at work panic, our perspective often provides us a level of calm. 8. Accountability. We take personal responsibility for our work, our teams, and our actions. 9. We know how to accomplish a goal and to get the "mission" done. We understand operations and the bottom line. 10. Efficiency. We understand how to work with limited resources and under constraints, both fiscal and time. Hire a vet! Dr. Chaunté Hall Glenn R.

Integrity, intelligence, and energy = a great hire. Somebody (Warren Buffet) once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for above 3 qualities. And if you don't have the first, the other two will kill you. Integrity is the central pillar that holds all three together or the structure collapses.

📈 Are businesses tunnel-visioned when it comes to hiring? Rodger Cook, General Manager of Security Services at World Travel Protection, challenges the conventional recruitment process, advocating for a broader recognition of transferable skills. 🌍 With a rich background in the Australian army, Cook brings to light the diverse and vital skills acquired in non-traditional roles, emphasizing their relevance in the corporate sector. From managing tight deadlines to thriving under pressure, these competencies are invaluable yet often overlooked. 🛡️ Transitioning from disciplined environments like the military, customs, and policing to corporate roles, Cook highlights the importance of adaptability. The unique blend of skills from these varied backgrounds can significantly enrich an organization, provided there's openness to new perspectives. 🤝 In a world where the ability to adapt is key, Cook's insights urge businesses to look beyond conventional hiring criteria and embrace the wealth of experience that lies in unconventional paths. This approach not only fosters a diverse workforce but also equips companies with a robust skill set ready to tackle the dynamic challenges of today's corporate landscape. 🚀 #HumanResources #TalentAcquisition #WorkforceDevelopment
