U.S. Navy Work Values

Daily Duties at U.S. Navy:

As a member of a large public works department responsible for base and facilities management, project management and construction management utilizing naval and civilian personnel. I developed and managed department budgets, civilian and military personnel, administered contracts, managed multiple projects simultaneously, and performed facility operations for large naval bases in the US and overseas. I was trained in FAR and DAR and warranted to $10 million. In a Construction Battalion (Seabees), I was responsible for training and preparing military personnel for rapid deployment for forward area construction through homeport training and completion of numerous construction projects during deployments.

What they like about U.S. Navy:

Working in an organization that is technologically advanced, creative, and innovative is critical in your assessment of hiring companies. Less important to you are stability of the organization, the length of time an organization has been in business, and the business' plans for the future. You prefer a fast-moving company that will take risks to achieve its goals and objectives. The length of time the company has been in business is irrelevant. Maintaining status quo is unnecessary. You thrive on change, uncertainty and the upside of potential business risks, especially those associated with innovation. Stability for the long haul is not nearly as important as is working in an atmosphere that is charged with a sense of urgency and constant change.
