Hi...i have read through the entire column and i agree with by most of things that have been said .....army officers are surely an asset and have the ability for innovation and creativity due to multi faceted personality and hard working nature. It is the right mix of attitude, quest for making the learning curve shorter , amenable to new ideas and adaptation to the new environs that they shud try n possess to be successful in the verticals in the Corporate sector.

Hi Friends,
I am delighted to learn views from many members and Ex-sevice personnel in this forum regarding subject.
This is to introduce all that i have been working in Indian Navy and retired after 20 yrs of service In Electrical engineering branch.There after i havbe enterd in carporate HR world. After retirement since last 09 years i am working in one of the corporates as Head- Human Resources and doing very well.
Yes, a person who has been in uniform and have served defence forces for such a long year, once comes out to civil world ....i can say sky is the limit for him. He brings knowledge, techniques, discipline and many more thing with him which can help for re-settlement to corporate world. I have seen many Ex-defence persons doing extremely well in corporates and are at higher positions.
So, may i request all those who are going to retire soon that there is no need to worry. Be positive and come to corporate world ,take challenges and acheive success.
I wish you all the very best.
CHEERS...!!
Keep smiling.......!!

I Request You To Read Citehr Comments And Postings, Most Of The Postings Are Repeatative And Very Low Profile Jobs Being Discussed.
You Will Not Find Andy Corporate People Comments Here Nor Postings Enlightened You About Gravity Of This Profession From Our Forum Will Be Misleading.
Corporate Jobs Are Challenging, Although Its Matter Of Opportunity And Verbiage......but Its True Ex-service Man Hardly Accomodate In Corporate Life. This Is My Experience I Come Across Two Such Ex-serviceman Were Subject Of Mockery In Corporate.
But With My Experience Another Two Ex-serviceman Were Very Successful In Training And Administration Part.
Don't Loose Your Heart You Have Place In Industry But At Middle Management Level.

Dear Ajay,
I do not know, but there must have been reasons why you chose to do a 6 month IIM course instead of a 1 year executive course - must have been the money factor I guess.
You are still well placed. As has been said earlier, know yourself first, and understand what exactly you want to do. Also, pitch yourself at a level that is slightly above the level of work you have been doing. There is great dearth of talent outside, and with your age and experience, nothing should stop you.
Believe in yourself!

thanks sir....
its a pleasure tobe reading "things encouraging". i picked up this course to spend the last few months in service in 'slightly' more productive way. the course nevertheless has been an eyeopener in more than one sense.i shall be applying for a one year thing at an oppurtune time.as for my areas of interest and strengths are concerned...therein lies the proverbial 'achilies heel'..i have not been able to figure that out clearly. hence i am guided sometimes by what the market says(Availability) sometimes by the core skillset that i have(Mech engg) sometimes by what i have done(Project management & HR)and sometimes by what i perceieve i am good at(presentations talking and formulating)...the list goes on........nevertheless i am certain that we from the Armed Forces are a CLASS APART. all our counterpart courses at the institute vouch for that and are in an obvious awe of what we manage to achieve. we DO Pack A PUNCH.
the tricky part i believe is to maintain this cutting edge..somehow and to make the environment sensitive to the fact that given clear mandates WE can deliver better than anyone else.
thanks and regards

All said and done. It is subjective . please don't stereotype type the army officers and generalize their pluses and minuses . there are many who have when being in the army and then outside are very malleable and ready to unlearn and adjust------ give them a month or two of orientation and they are ready to go!!!
