-: Well I focused heavily on business
through undergrad and graduate school,
but the tool box you mentioned,
being able to prioritize,
being able to sit down and allocate time into reading,
you'll get so much out of reading.
The professors and the lecturers,
they give you suggested reading,
but there's so much you'll get out of it
if you just do it,
so being able to priotize,
being able to make that time to do the readings
and retain what you've learned,
is super important and I took that
for granted as an undergrad.
I think you need to have a sense of urgency,
no matter what you're doing to get something done,
and I touched on that before,
the veteran has this sense of determination
and sense of urgency no matter what the task is.
That they'll get it done immediately,
they'll get it done correctly,
they'll get it done on time.
The ones that just kinda sail along,
the ones that aren't successful,
I don't think really have that to the degree
that the ones that are successful do.
Where the rubber meets the road
I think is at that resume
and translating what the veteran did
in the military into civilian world.
If you go and you tell them
you were a company commander for a rifle company
in charge of 150 plus people,
that's not really gonna translate into the civilian world
if you just put it black-and-white
how it's described in the military.
You really gotta translate that leadership opportunity,
that program management, your leadership skills,
your program management skills,
your people skills, all those things that you did
and translate that over into civilian speak, so to speak.
