What would you like to see in a transitioning program?

Interview guidance. One area I see a lot of really talented vets struggle. Not sure how to turn on the civilian face when in front of hiring leaders.

No one expects military ranks to translate over to civilian, but learning how to tell at what level you might fit into a company is a job search skill. A "Director" at Lockheed Martin is not the same (scope of responsibilities, # of direct reports, budget, etc) as a "Director" of Events within the Athletic Department of the College of William & Mary. Both are Directors, very different levels.

An emphasis on taking unemployment. I wanted to work and took a job that I enjoyed, but paid less than unemployment. Almost three years before I had a job that stopped the financial bleeding, all because of pride.
