Episode 54: Military Transition Q&A with Jonathan Fisher

Lessons Learned for Vets

Jonathan Fisher is preparing to transition from a career in the US Army in aviation maintenance into the IT and cybersecurity career fields. He has taken charge of his transition and been very active, perhaps too active as we will discuss in the episode. He comes on to ask me questions about transition burnout, pursuing SkillBridge opportunities, how often and what to post on LinkedIn, how to translate transferable skills when you are taking your career in a new direction and how to take advantage of all the Veteran Service Organizations (VSOs) out there without getting overwhelmed. Jonathan also shares his news about landing two great SkillBridge offers and how he made the decision of which one to accept, even though the other one was his "dream" opportunity.
