How do I hire on an ex-navy electrician electronics technician?
Asked by Kris
I work at a marine electrical and electronics company and we are primarily operated by ex-navy. The standards that are met in the navy transition quite well with the quality of work that we insist on giving our customers. That said, I find it tough to find good employees through veterans of unemployment. Is there another option to find a good naval electrical (motor control and generator paralleling) or electronics (radar & sonar troubleshooting)?

Best Answer:
Yes their is a way, how I'm not sure. I have been targeted by potential employers based soley on my job (Submarine Sonar Technician) and I'm still over 1 year from my EAOS (when I could get out). I would contact the DoD or DVA to start to see how to go about that path.

I would search for blogs or social network groups that the people you're looking for may frequent. Also, learn tools to help you find the right fit for your organization, as the skillset is only half the battle. www.employwinners.com has some great info on hiring the right person for your workplace culture. Can you visit veterans clubs of anysort and just chat up a few people? Word of mouth is often the best way to get what you need!
