Eric Knott, professor of business at Arizona State University, demystifies key aspects of veteran recruitment, selection, and development.  What are the differences between team sizes, rankings, and responsibilities; what interview behaviors may you see that are taught to veterans and not necessarily indicative of their personality; and more.

• Discuss the differences between the function of, and size of various teams and groups within the military (i.e., a platoon, brigade, regiment, squadron, etc.);
• Identify potential veteran interview behaviors that are taught by the military versus actual behavioral traits of veteran candidates;
• Predict developmental needs for veteran hires working in a sample of typical corporate leadership and non-leadership jobs based on their role in the military, branch, and length of service;
• Discuss typical benefits and compensation focuses for veterans as they evaluate a company's total rewards programs.
