Transition Story: O-6s face the same problems!
- Started 6 months out; recommends 2 years!
- Figured his qualification/background would speak for itself
- Didn't network and overestimated his networks outreach
- Resume wasn't focused because he wasn't sure what he wanted to do
- Didn't find himself (Find your why, your purpose. your passion)
Improvements:
Companies: Understand the veteran more
Veterans: Network, civilianize your resume (translate skills and terms to industry)
Non-Profits:
- CASY/Vetjobs: FREE job placement as well as training on specific skills (hold onto your GI Bill)
- How do pick one over the other: How you feel about them as an organization, as individuals, and what they provide. Do your research.
- Use the FREE ones
