Because of this, there are typically two main issues that tend to drive decision-making in the transition. First, officers now have full autonomy...2024-06-2500 min

In Episode 114, Joel Junker interviewed Chuck as they explored how Cameron-Brooks helped Junior Military Officers (JMOs) move from the military to Corporate American in 2020 (during a global pandemic.) Chuck also looked forward to 2021 and shared his predictions on how things would shape up. In that episode, Chuck defined the word “transition”, or at least how we define that word. In the process, he provided some much needed clarity and tangibility to the idea of a JMO transition. In this episode, I asked to C...2021-02-0127 min

Do you have a partnership agreement?
We encourage military officers to ask this question (check out our full list of recommendations, here) as they begin their initial transition research. Each military recruiting firm has a different flavor. Some require a signed agreement, some have partnerships, and others don’t require anything at all. Asking these questions during your initial conversations with a recruiting firm will help you determine your best fit.

Around 33% of veterans report being underemployed and 70% describe taking a step backward in responsibility when moving to the business world from the military. The number one reason this occurs is that many companies do not understand the value veterans bring to their organization. The majority of those surveyed were Junior Military Officers, so this risk of being underemployed and taking a step back is very real for the JMO demographic.
A big reason that many veterans, JMOs included, end up with organizations that...2020-02-1018 min

The junior military officer transition can be risky. You are changing industries, companies, positions and most likely location. You have to resign 4-9 months in advance without a job already in hand. A lot can happen in that time to the economy and the job market. If you have a family or a spouse/significant other, they may depend on you for income and benefits. No wonder you might feel a little vulnerable in this transition despite a track record of amazing accomplishments in the military.
However, the transition from military to business does not have t...2019-02-2629 minCameron-BrooksCameron-Brooks Podcast: Episode 66 – 2018 Year in ReviewWelcome back to the Cameron-Brooks podcast!

When I ask them to explain more about their perception, they voice concerns about being “stuck” or “pigeon holed” into one specific technical area within a company. While companies absolutely need technical experts and engineers who want to further their expertise, the development positions Cameron-Brooks represent for those with engineering degrees are multi-dimensional where JMOs use their leadership, problem solving, project management and technical skills.
