What skill sets that veterans have that they can bring to corporate America we know that many companies are actively looking for veterans.

But the veterans themselves need to know what they can bring to the table.

In the interview process when they start to look for positions and so I -- five different skills that they can bring to the table in the first -- -- guys and that's a great skill to have leadership -- date when that they're looking for and you bring up a good point -- -- -- some friction there between what they're learning on the battlefield and what the companies are looking for so this is great leadership on your list number two.

How do you bring these skills to the potential employers easy on your resonate or is it something you bring up in an interview process how do you.

I -- the -- it's how you present yourself in the interview you have to.

You know you're coming into corporate America you've been in Iraq or Afghanistan -- for X amount years you're coming at an -- they're gonna ask you what the what do you bring to the table and using you know what I learned.
