Reflecting on My Journey from the Military to the Private Sector Since retiring from the military in April 2010, I've had the opportunity to grow and understand what transitioning from active service to the private sector truly means. Here are some key lessons for veterans making this shift: 1.  Value of Military Experience: Unless you're a senior officer or sergeant major, your military experience may not be as highly valued in the private sector. While you might secure a supervisory or entry-level manager position, this is often due to having a degree rather than your military background. 2.  Understanding the Rules: Adjusting to the private sector takes time because the rules differ. In the military, experience and education directly influenced roles. In the private sector, these factors are not always understood or valued the same way. 3.  Quitting is an Option: In the military, quitting isn't an option—you see your enlistment through. In the private sector, the ability to quit is new and can be both a challenge and a temptation. It’s important to avoid job hopping, as this can harm your career progression. 4. Choosing the Right Industry: Some industries, like retail, can be particularly challenging for veterans. High demands, lack of support, and leaders who don’t take ownership can make it difficult to succeed. Finding an industry where your skills and experience are valued and supported is crucial. 5. Recruiting Veterans: Companies often recruit veterans for entry-level or junior leadership roles. Understanding this can help set realistic expectations and assist in planning your career path. Transitioning from the military to the private sector is a journey that requires patience, understanding, and strategy. These lessons have helped me navigate my path, and I hope they can provide some guidance for fellow veterans. #MilitaryTransition #VeteranCareers #CareerAdvice #Leadership #PrivateSectorSuccess

Tomorrow is the Ball State University Cardinal Job Fair! The Cardinal Job Fair holds a special place in my heart because it’s where I met Marques Fisher back in 2009 (or 2008). Even though we didn’t have a job to offer…just a free student membership, that connection turned into something much more valuable. To this day, I tell students about Marques and how intentional he was about his involvement with the Indiana CPA Society. He didn’t just sign up as a student member—he jumped in, attending events, volunteering, and building connections. I encourage every student to attend recruiting events like this, not just for the potential job offers, but to meet people and build relationships. Engage with the professionals you meet, follow up, and if they offer to have coffee or a chat—take them up on it! Your future career isn’t just about landing a job; it’s about building a network. So, there is no better time to start than now. If you need a pep talk before an interview or event, Anyah E. Cork & I are here for you! #futureCPA #relationships
