Phase 2: Networking through “cups of coffee” to learn more about different industries and roles. The course instructed on building proper resumes, utilization of this platform, and interview preparation. Phase 3: Continue to have “cups of coffee” to learn, meet with companies, finalize my transition strategy, and graduate into my post military life.
