Looking for an Advisor in the Hattiesburg Mississippi Area

Veteran

Benjamin Sweatland Richton, MS

Hello, I am winding down my military career after 22 years and will be living in the Hattiesburg Mississippi area. I am looking to learn what is out there and connect with someone in the area for advice on where to look for a job and lessons you might have learned on your way out of the military. My LinkedIn profile is www.linkedin.com/in/bensweatland in case you want to look at it. I am willing to learn and have plenty of questions. Thanks from this mustached American.

Hi Benjamin,

Thank you for your service and for using ACP AdvisorNet! Have you tried searching for an advisor in your area using the Community tab? If you click on Community it should bring you to a map of the United States. Then click on the red star that says Advisors. From here, you can click on certain cities on the map to search for Advisors in the area or you can input your zip code to find Advisors near you. If you find an Advisor that you would like to connect with, you can send them a private message! I'd be happy to help if you need it - feel free to send me a private message if you have any more questions. Thanks again!

Hi Benjamin: Have you tried SCORE? There are a few I saw listed in MIssissippi here: https://www.score.org/content/search-mentor?f[0]=content:mississippi

You'll have to register for the site to request an advisor.

Based on your HR education, I would suggest you look at the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) for advice and job listings: https://www.shrm.org/

Best of luck.

I did use it, there were no advisors listed in the immediate area so I thought I would give it a try and see if anybody wanted to assist me. I was going to widen the search after giving it a little time. I hope that make sense.
