What used to be only whispered is finally public knowledge: Human resource managers are leery of hiring veterans.
There are two reasons for this, according to Chad Storlie, 44, author of "Combat Leader to Corporate Leader: 20 Lessons to Advance Your Civilian Career."
One regards post traumatic stress disorder and how hiring someone with it or other lingering combat issues might impact an existing workforce.
The second revolves around questions of just how transferable military skills are to civilian employment.
Storlie attended last June's Society for Human Resource Management conference and exposition held in San Diego. He said human resources and hiring managers there talked about their misgivings.
