by Justin Constantine , founder of The Constantine Group. It’s great that so many businesses are saying they want to hire veterans. But it’s not enough to just say it. You have to do some legwork to meet them halfway, but for some hiring managers they might not know where to start, especially if they don’t have a military background.

Could this be my favorite movie of the past 25 years? Maybe. Is this my favorite television series of all time? I should say so. Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction is a quintessential genre film from 1994. It helped to re-energize and re-define for a new generation of viewers a classic vein of filmic storytelling. Breaking Bad , ran for 5 fabulous seasons on AMC and used many of the same conventions, iconography, and storytelling techniques as Tarantino’s classic.
