Valpak Pledges to Hire 100 Veterans for Sales

The company cited studies that indicate military candidates interested in sales have advantages over non-military job candidates when it comes to key sales traits, including cordial communication style, competitive approach and accountability for core business results.

“With more than 40,000 troops expected to return from Iraq, joining another 2.3 million veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, employing the veteran community is a top priority for Valpak,” said Rick McElwain, vice president of network sales development at Valpak. “Veterans possess key traits and high-skill levels beneficial to any employer, and we look forward to welcoming our returning heroes to join our sales team.”
