i’m getting out soon and it’s terrifying but this put me at ease

Hi Curry-- Thanks for your service! We totally understand. That's why we put this together. We all went through it at some point... Don't be shy, we're here to help! Veterans want to help other Veterans. We appreciate your feedback!

I’m going to be honest with y’all as a new veteran just getting out of the military. I landed a job but it wasn’t easy but I’m trying to find a job back home and it is extremely difficult even with several college degrees certifications and active clearance. I get overlooked all the time for someone who is not a veteran buckle up because it’s going to be a hard through years for us veterans to land jobs.

@VetBizTV Жыл бұрын

Agreed! Leveraging connections and your network are extremely important. Great to hear that you landed a job! Find Veterans in your area and start networking. It was the best thing I ever did! Changed the trajectory. It’s not always what you know, it’s who you know. Thanks for watching! Appreciate you!

Thank you for the awesome video. Getting out is honestly extremely terrifying. There is always that deep down sense of "what if I can't provide for my family?" Your video gave me a good direction to focus some of my energy on.

You’re not the only one! It’s the land of the unknown without a lot of direction. Don’t be afraid to reach out if you ever have questions… we’re all here for each other! Hopefully you were able to get some good insight. Thanks for sharing! Appreciate you!

There’s always challenges. Nothing that is Military Veterans are not used too. Tap into a Veterans Network near where you plan on living. When I found a group of Vets to connect with locally, it changed everything. Depending on what you want to do, they can help make connections and referrals. It’s your new unit. Fellow Veterans want to help each other. Let us know if we can help!

Even though my Brother has a successful career in Civilian Life I think my Brother is still in Afghanistan mentally. In his sleep he yells out names of the Soldiers he knew who died there. He sleepwalks the drills. Once when he was sleepwalking he took his car keys. Afghanistan gave him Asthma.

Mental health is a very real thing. It’s not easy to deal with trauma. We’re humans. I’m happy to hear he is doing well in his career. Has he engaged with the Veteran Community locally? VA? Sometimes being able to have conversations helps with mindfulness. We all want to help each other!

I am getting out of the Marine Corps next year. I am still trying to figure out what this means for me. I am single, have no debt (other than a small car loan), good savings, an associate's degree, an untouched GI Bill (thank the Lord for TA), as well as a transferrable skill. My struggle is maintaining a purpose, I do not just want to work some job because it is easy or relaxed. Any advice on this?

@VetBizTV Жыл бұрын

Hi Francis- First, thanks for your service brother! Great job on saving money and knocking out some education. For purpose, what do you love/enjoy doing? What lights the fire in your belly? What gets you excited? (Flip side, what do you hate doing- eliminate those things) (Examples: Building things-Engineering, Trades, Project Management, Automation - being a Union Tradesman(Electrician, Plumber, Machine Operator, etc…)is a very rewarding career and can lead to other jobs within the industry-Estimator, Project Manager, etc… Financing-Accounting, Financial Advisor, Analyst, which can lead to promotions- Controller, CFO; Sales- You can do this in almost any industry. Do you love being around people? Do you love a challenge? Do you love solving problems? Are you good at customer service? Do you have good energy? You can make a lot of money here if you’re willing to put in the work but find a vertical you love. You may not start here, but you can work your way to here.) All examples can lead to promotion and/or owning your own business; This would be a good place to start, once you have an idea of what you want to do, research it and find programs for veterans. Trades: Helmets to Hardhats & most contractors will pay for your training nowadays. GI Bill: You can use that for just about anything. A few of the resources in the video, listed in the description, ACP, Deloitte, utilize those. ACP will align you with a mentor to help you get where you want to go. Mission Wisconsin, talk with Steve. He lives in this space and can point you in the right direction. Also a Marine! Maybe we’ll make a video on this. I hope this helps as a start. Once you figure out your passion, then we can dive into the next steps. Semper Fi!

Thanks for sharing the info, I’m always looking to connect with other people/channels that touch on the whole military to transition process! I do something similar on my channel.
