Each year over 250,000 military personnel and families leave their respective service and enter civilian life. While some decide to retire, most people intend to start a new career. The goal is to make a smooth transition from active military life to a new life in the corporate world.

There's good news. Corporate America wants to hire former military service members to join the ranks of its workforce. Recruiters often visit military bases looking for transitioning individuals to fill positions in their companies. Why? Many of the same skills service members develop and hone in the military are the ones that are valued and rewarded in the civilian workplace.

Service members possess many of the following characteristics:

Strong leadership skills

Ability to perform under pressure

Strong work ethic/loyalty

Keen attention to detail

Solid training

Goal-oriented

Driven to succeed

Familiar with operations/equipment

Employers know that they are going to get knowledgeable, reliable and professional employees when they hire military personnel. With many Baby Boomers starting to think about retirement, there are a lot of opportunities available for qualified individuals. A solid military background along with post-military career training can give many people an edge when it comes to finding a job in today's business environment.
