Don't fool yourselves. That wartime service and $2.50 will buy you a cup of coffee at Starbucks; it certainly won't help you find a job. Credite experto.

I have hired many hundreds of salesmen, secretaries and engineers over the years. I ALWAYS give preference to veterans. You still have to be qualified but it will give you the edge with me.

I ALWAYS give preference to veterans.

In the past few years, I have hired a few veterans from the former USSR, including Milo, an officer from Montenegro. I also hired a former US Marine DI from Canada who re-enlisted after 9/11 and a GI from TX, who had served in Bosnia on the other side of the line from Milo.

Soldiers take pride in their work, are self diciplined and are (for the most part) ultimately trustworthy...unless you have a teenage daughter.

I am willing to bet that your decision to give veterans preference has paid off more often than not.

BTW, love your homepage...
