"The attraction to GardaWorld as a veteran would be the family culture atmosphere that I was introduced to. I also felt that it was very similar to my experience in the military and the pride that they took with taking care of soldiers. The terminology is also very similar with all the acronyms that we use in the security field, which bares many similarities to the military way of doing things."

"I was a combat medic in the United States Army and part of a tactical squad that patrolled certain buildings in higher-risk areas. Then, I drove dignitaries during the G7 summit, and it was at that time, with their knowledge of my military background, that I was approached to fill the position of Human Resources Recruiter. And even in this position, I never know what my day will bring!

As a member of the military, you develop different skills that follow you into civilian life. These include confidence, a feeling that you can achieve anything, and this is highly valued at GardaWorld. When you are asked to complete a task, you’ll do anything to succeed, and when you have this military frame of mind and you apply it to civilian life, you can accomplish so much more."

"I’m an Iraq war veteran combat firefighter. I was the only female in an all-male firefighting unit the very first year of the war. Military service is valued at GardaWorld, and my experience in the military prepared me well for working here. GardaWorld and the military both value integrity, respect and trust."

"GardaWorld's values of Integrity, Trust, Vigilance and Respect all apply to both active and reserve military experience. During my time as an Aerospace Control & Warning Systems Operator in the United States Air Force and during my time in the reserves in the Iowa Air Force National Guard, we had to depend upon each other to achieve a common goal or objective and we always had to have each other's backs."
