-: Practice interviewing, because military people,
enlisted or officer, do not have to interview.
They're asked, what MOS would you like?
Where would you like to be stationed next?
If you're gonna stay in.
There's a retention officer talking to them,
but it's not an interview process.
I hadn't had professional interviews.
I had to learn how to do that actually
once I graduated from here and was looking
at some of those other positions
that I wanted to go into in the business sector.
Because the healthcare field was a given.
I walked in, can you do this, did you do that,
we can teach you this, you got the job.
I never did not get a job on an interview at first,
but once I graduated from college and was looking
to make a transition, it was more difficult.
It was a whole different ballgame
and I didn't know the rules.
So, work with somebody.
There's so much outreach now.
It is so different than when I got out.
There is companies that have people like me in them.
Reach out to those people.
It is our job to give that Soldier or Airmen or Marine
10 fingers up and put them 5% above anybody else,
apples to apples, in the process.
