With their skills in logistics, infantry and most especially in communication technology, veterans are often hired not only as an ordinary employee but as the guy who will lead and direct the company’s infrastructure and IT strategies.

The position of a Capture Manager is also perfect for some military veterans looking for a job in the civilian world. According to PayScale, veterans are ten times more likely to hold this position than a civilian.

Managers generally hire former service military men to fill this position because they can present any products and services better than a civilian.

When a person enters the military, he or she will be receiving different kinds of training until they retire from service.

Once these soldiers retire from the service, the skills that they have learned and perfected when they were still in active duty can be their greatest asset if they want to look for a job in the civilian world. A job that suits these characteristics and skills that every veteran possesses is the Vice President of Technology in a company. Since most military personnel are trained to be technically skilled, a job that needs someone with good technological background can be perfect for a transitioning veteran who is looking for a job.
