Here’s the episode:

As military veterans, we have first hand knowledge of and experience living in both the military world and the civilian world…juggling both at the same time…and transitioning in and out of those worlds. If you are a veteran– this episode is for you.  If you are not a veteran, you may still find interest in this episode– particularly if you are hiring veterans. What we cover:

  • Unrealistic transition preview

  • Geographic inflexibility

  • Sense of entitlement

  • Knowledge and skills gap

  • Additional tips and ideas for both transitioning veterans and employers who want to hire them
