Scott Fussell of CommandYourBusiness.com and Byron Chen of SuccessVets.com recently teamed up to create a series of podcasts to help military veterans through the transition process. These two have talked to their fair share of veterans through their veteran transition podcasts, and successfully gone through the transition podcasts themselves.
Advice for Veterans: What You Need to Know About Salary Negotiation
- In the first video, Byron Chen expands on the information covered in his book, "Barracks to Boardrooms," discussing how to look at the position description and other ways to assess what you can ask for regarding salary negotiations.
- Chen wrote an article about this topic here at Military.com.
Note: The videos on YouTube won't be the same as watching them on Blab, because on Blab, you'll see the additional conversation happening in the discussion box.
Advice for Veterans: Interviewing, Networking and Job Searching
- With guest Amanda Veinott of Miligistix, the group discusses what skills transfer from the military and what don't. They also talk about working with coaches, expectations and what recruiters are really looking for.
Advice for Transitioning Veterans: Career and Personal Finance Advice
- With guest Nick Bradfield of Divvy Investments, the guys discuss such issues as 401(k) plans, employee stock options and more.
Veterans in Transition Q&A
- In the Q&A video, the guys discuss how to be prepared for interviews, both from an interviewee and interviewer perspective, how to get specific in your interview answers and more issues related to the transition.
The videos and links to sign up for future videos can be found on the Command Your Business website.
