I was honored to have had the opportunity to talk with David Weiner, a recent United States Army Veteran.  David talked about the transition from army life to searching for a job as a civilian.  He hit the ground running and in a manner of a few weeks after officially retiring he was able to find a position that he truly loves.  But the job search process was not an easy one since he had spent a good portion of his adult life in the military.  David has a great career story and for anyone that is thinking about or will soon be retiring from the military his story can help you see what worked for him and what challenges he faced and was able to overcome.   David thank you for taking time to talk with SharpHR Career Corner and above all else thank you for your many years of service.

Do you enjoy networking?  Probably not, but maybe you would consider looking at the art of networking in a different way.  Networking can be a more sincere, intentional and genuine interaction with people rather than always looking for something from the other person. Listen to Christine Smith talk about ripIEFX and see how she discovered a more purposeful way to get to really know people and interact with them.
