Most people who have served make good employees in general.
Non-coms and junior officers who have served with distinction make especially good employees. The problem many of them have is understanding how their military experience is relevant and how to sell it. Too many potential employers are clueless what is demanded of military front line leadership.
I actually had one COO tell me that military officers aren’t accustomed to working long hours. I set him straight and told him to tell my Air Force combat pilot son that. He typically worked 14 hour days with many longer than that in the midst of an exercise. The expectation of them is ZERO mistakes and they live under a magnifying glass that looks for any chink. Add to that the last decade of oppressive political correctness.
My son did an all-nighter week before last. Literally no sleep. He has met his partner many times early in the morning and worked into the night.
A perfect example for success.
