Transitioning out of the military and into a fulfilling civilian role can be difficult.
In the military, service members walk away with the skills to innovate, lead, act as individual contributors, be self-disciplined, and respond under pressure.
Invaluable skills for any career.
Enlisting in the military can offer the opportunity to make a difference, and transitioning to civilian life can be difficult, especially when seeking meaningful work.
The thirst to continue to make an impact led Myriad360’s VP of Program & Project Management, Tanya Steele, and Project Manager, Bill Herr, to seek roles in project management.
As a project manager, you get to focus on the bigger picture by influencing outcomes, helping solve problems, and working on projects that affect the lives of others. It’s a challenging atmosphere that requires learning, innovation, and creativity – just like the military.
Many of the skills that service members gain are transferable and vital to successful careers. Tanya and Bill want to share the different opportunities available in this field for veterans and how to anticipate and prepare for the challenges that can come with them.
