Veterans sometimes get a lot of bad press because of the actions of a few. Yet, you will find the majority of vets willing to do great work and go over and above for a good employer. Giving a Vet a break is akin to giving your company a better fighting chance in the job market.
The best thing you can do is hire a Vet. When they come to work, make them feel they are a part of your team. Give them challenges they can work on, and you will have a win-win situation.
Isn’t that what we are all looking for in business and life? A chance to win.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force. Mike is a member of the Delta Mu Delta Business Honor Society.
