After the JAG Corps: Navigating Your Career Progression

49. Alison Atkins Explains Why the Banking/Financial World is a Perfect Post-Military Career for JAGs


Listen Later

Good morning! Start your GO NAVY! BEAT ARMY! Saturday off with another episode of After the JAG Corps!  Today, I talk to Alison Atkins, who served just over 20 years in the Army, both as an MP and then as a JAG.  Following her retirement in 2020, Alison first worked with Capital One before moving onto U.S. Bank where she serves as Assistant General Counsel and Vice President and Chief Cyber Counsel.  In this episode, Alison talks about how she was fortunate to link up with a Navy veteran as a hiring manager at a company that values potential over experience, enabling her to make the jump from a military practice to the financial world.  In our wide-ranging conversation, we talk resumes, compensation, the cultural differences of working in the civilian sector, and Alison even worked a reference to Joey Tribbiani from Friends into our conversation.  Alison's LinkedIn profile is available at https://www.linkedin.com/in/alison-atkins/.
