Ask Slashdot: Exploiting 'Engineering And ...' On a Resume?

Posted by timothy on from the engineering-engineering-engineering-and-smokin'-the-reefer dept.

An anonymous reader writes "In my younger years, I was briefly employed as an Electrical Engineer. Since 9/11 I have been flying combat missions for the military. Since I now have just a little over a year before becoming a civilian again, I was wondering if any Slashdotters had any applicable advice/anecdotes. How does one effectively combine engineering/development with another professional skill-set? (Being a jet pilot in this example.) For those of you who do hiring, what is the best way to sell this type of background?"

    Make sure you include "Destructive testing of competitors' products" as part of your skillset.
