Planning your transition while still in the Service with Derek Poor - a podcast by Ryan Sweeney

Derek of the Pennyrile Area Development District and the Western Kentucky Workforce shares his transition lessons and covers the following:

1- Leverage some of those "other" or "indirect" skills you learned in the military for re-birth in a new career

2- Connecting, Networking, and building relationships

3- Tackle your weaknesses...listen, learn, and practice.

4- Never stop interviewing (you are always being assessed)

5- Finding yourself, be yourself, find your interests

6- YOU control your career, you define the path

7- Have a transition plan for your transition (you may fail the first time)

8- Manage transition position expectations (military industry is different, regardless of position and titles)

9- Side-gigs (you have control of your life back)

10- Location and sacrifices (you still have some control, not HRC telling you where to go and when to move)

11- You own it! (You need to initiate the conversation- people are busy, but willing to help) and you are the most important person in your transition
