Drive On: Overcoming Military Trauma & Finding Success as a Veteran

00:00 / 00:31:31

When we get out of the military we aren’t always as prepared as we think we are for applying to a civilian job.

In this episode we talk about:

How to figure out what job you’d be good at.
Where to get the skills or qualifications you might need for a new career.
What employers are looking for in a potential employee.
How to narrow your focus in your job search rather than using a “shotgun” approach.
How to “talk up” your military experience. Even mundane things like paperwork and urinalysis testing can be spun in a positive manner.
When to start applying for jobs.
Where and how to network with potential peers and employers.
