The Insurgent’s Transition Podcast

Military to civilian transition secrets from the other side. This Podcast is designed for military members, veterans, and their partners, who aren’t looking to just get ”a job” but want to accelerate their career change. This podcast gives you a roadmap, effective but contrarian techniques, and a few shares inadvertent secrets from the inside (from hiring managers, recruiters, business leaders, and researchers) that few people openly talk about on how to accelerate and add focus to your transition out of the military into the corporate world.

In this episode, we discuss the trap of "I can" vs "I have." Many veterans get coaching to talk about what they can or what they could do instead of finding ways to use the experience they have to describe proof-points that they already have dome many of the elements to make them successful in the role they are applying for.
