CRNA Gustavo Gutierrez on Why Military Vets Are Sought-After Recruits

The military-to-civilian transition is not always easy, but as Gustavo Gutierrez, a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) can attest, there are clear advantages to having an army past. Employers do not always recognize these possibilities, but those who do, can not only save thousands of dollars on occasions, but potentially gain a professional who can become one of their top employees. Depending on who the employer is, a past military career can be an advantage in just about any field, especially certain private sector organizations that need fully-vetted employees.

Businesses That Need Security Clearances 

A security clearance is a status that’s granted to certain individuals allowing them to gain access to classified information or fill certain positions. This requires a very thorough background check, which usually costs tens of thousands of dollars. While it’s true that not all military members have security clearance, those who do really hold a crucial advantage that can make a big difference on the job market.

Inventory Experts

Servicemen and servicewomen often become experts in inventory and supply management. Some military members do it on a scale that involves million dollar budgets. This expertise is very valuable outside of the military world, offering these people great post-army opportunities.

Ex-military People Can Adapt More Easily

On average, military members are mentally tougher and can adapt to certain conditions easier. Army members often have to make decisions under extreme pressure. Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist Gustavo Gutierrez CRNA has spent almost a decade with the military, and his army experiences have helped him become an esteemed anesthesiologist.
