To Veterans and transitioning military seeking career opportunities, the search for a career can be frustrating after about the hundredth application you have completed.
But here are some tips to keep you motivated during your career search:
1. "Positive Energy Yields Positive Results": This is one I personally use. Focus on the positivity in every situation, and see how the glass is half full instead of half empty.
2. Stay Focused: Stay focused on your goals. Also, remember the achievements you have made thus far to help you see the next goal is reachable.
3. Never Give Up: No matter how many no's you may have received, never give up! A yes is bound to come.
4. Seek a Mentor: I love this one! Seek a mentor who can give career advice, tips, best practices, and guidance. A mentor can be the most valuable resource during your career search.
I hope these tips help you feel empowered to continue to strive for your dream career!
Also, feel free to reach out to me if I can be of assistance to you.
As always, thank you for your service!

9yJust as I would urge someone relocating to a foreign country to find the American ExPats, vets should reach out to fellow Vets in industries functions or companies they are interested in. We have huge "alumni base" that loves to help each other yet so few vets reach out. Use your branch and target company in a key word search on LI and you will be amazed how many fellow vets will help you.
