About Jim
I am a retired Command Master Chief with 27 years of Naval service. I have been through the trials and tribulations of transitioning into the civilian work force and learned many valuable lessons along the way. I made mistakes, applied for jobs I was not qualified for, stumbled on interview questions and felt like a complete failure at times. However, through good mentors, networking and determination I was able to land a good job within the federal government. I seek to share my transition experiences with veterans in hopes that it might assist in navigating through the job hunt process.
Jim has volunteered to be available for private messages. Feel free to send a conversational message but remember to be succinct and mindful of the other person’s time.
