🚀 Career Mapping with Merck 🚀 This week, we had the privilege of collaborating with Merck for an enriching session on Career Mapping, an essential step in our ongoing journey with FourBlock's Northeast/Mid-Atlantic Veteran Career Readiness Program. Merck not only hosted but also shared invaluable insights into the nuanced process of career planning, helping veterans understand how to strategically map out their careers, from identifying target companies to setting long-term professional goals. The session covered a range of critical topics including how to start your career planning process, how to build professional relationships, and understanding company culture. I personally found this was one of the most challenging parts of making the transition from the military to the private sector. Military career paths are typically very well defined: You know what the next rank is and what to do to get promoted. In the Navy, we literally called it the "golden path" because we knew exactly what role we should do next to get promoted. Civilian careers? Well, not so much. There are incredibly diverse ways to get to where you want to be – or where you think you want to be – in five or ten years. Everything is changing so quickly these days, there are jobs you might want to do that don't even exist yet! This is really exciting, but it can also be intimidating or downright scary for people who haven't taken the time to think about what they really want to do. That's why it's critical to take time to make sure you feel confident in the decisions you're making and why you're making them. 🙏 Thank you to the Merck team for being such fantastic hosts and for your genuine commitment to making a difference in the lives of those who've served.

Happy Veterans Day, #ACW! Celebrate this weekend and honor one of our own veterans by taking a look at our interview with Trisha Coyle, Director of Channel Sales - East Region at Observe.AI. What inspired you to transition from your military career to the tech industry and how has your military experience influenced your success in technology? "I served in the US Navy for 10 years working as a Radioman which later merged with the Data Processing Tech to become what is known as the IT (Information Systems Tech) rate now. My role included working in data centers and aboard ship handling all forms of telecommunications from Unclassified to Top Secret materials. After I separated, pursuing a career in Telecommunications seemed like the natural path for me given the experience I gained in the Navy. Fortunately, I was hired by a Navy Reservist who was running Operations at a small interconnect in Charleston, SC which catapulted my career into what it is today. My humble beginnings in the military taught me integrity, discipline, punctuality and a sense of serving others which all play a part in my success in technology today." What do you believe are the key strengths that women veterans bring to the tech field, and how can these qualities be leveraged for success? "Integrity, honor, gratitude, leadership, collaboration and teamwork are some of the key strengths that veterans bring to the workforce. When I was the Director of Account Management and was tasked with hiring a team, I always paid close attention to a veteran's resume because I know what veterans are taught and what is expected of them. Veterans often make successful employees due to the key strengths they learn from their time in the military. They are typically quick learners and know what it takes to stay on task to get the job done." In your opinion, what can the tech industry do to further support and promote women Veteran’s participation and leadership? "There are multiple things that the tech industry can do to support veteran women when they separate from the military. Partnering with organizations that focus on placing veterans into the workforce, leadership and mentoring programs, job fairs, training classes, transitioning programs and networking groups are just a few of the things that come to mind."

PMI-PMP Certified Project Manager | Google Certified Professional (PMP, Data Analytics, Business Intelligence) | Retired USAF Senior Intelligence Analyst (Certified Geospatial Expert)
Embarking on a new journey after a 20-year military career is no small feat. AllegiantVETS, my trusted Skillbridge provider, has been the guiding force in making this transition not only smooth but genuinely transformative. "Ignite your post-military career journey with energy and guidance," says AllegiantVETS, and they mean every word. Marcus Haney frequently states he is "always by your side." Through our partnership, I had the opportunity to attend career fairs, collaborate with other veteran organizations, build relationships among members, secure a mentor through American Corporate Partnership, and receive lifelong access to Coursera for both myself and my dependents. What stood out to me was the flexibility AllegiantVETS offered. I could manage my schedule, dedicating a minimum of 25 hours to professional development and 15 hours to other transition items each week. For me, this translated into willingly investing 80-100 hours a week in my transition journey. Honestly, I believe this should be the minimum standard for all transitioning military personnel. But it wasn't just about the numbers. Some weeks, I dialed back to the minimum 40 hours a week and I focused more on family, personal mental health, and emotions. AllegiantVETS understood that the transition process isn't one-size-fits-all. The flexibility to shift my focus as necessary significantly eased the complications that come with leaving a 20-year military career. Coming from a background where weeks often demanded 80-110 hours of my weekly time whether on and off-duty, transitioning to a structure where family time and personal time were separate from work time was challenging for me. AllegiantVETS became my ally, providing the support and resources I needed to navigate this profound shift. In their company, I found more than a Skillbridge provider; I found a dedicated crew and a community. Together, we navigated the transition, turning challenges into opportunities. AllegiantVETS not only understands the unique needs of veterans like me but actively empowers us to thrive in civilian life. I was able to expand my Project Management skills and explore other avenues like Data Analysis, Business Intelligence, Computer Programming, Supply Chain Management, and DevOps, to name only a few, to truly understand my post-military employment desires. Gratitude doesn't fully capture how thankful I am for the opportunity with AllegiantVETS. They were the compass guiding me toward a thriving tomorrow, and for that, I am truly grateful. Finally, I would like to express my appreciation of the following key personnel at AllegiantVets that truly made this a thoroughly positive and enjoyable experience: Thomas McKenzie, Tynissha N. Cromer, Matt Lasher, and Jeremy Moore. I would also like to thank the Project Management Track Lead during my time at AllegiantVets, Adam Speights. #AllegiantVets #DoDSkillbridge #militarytransition #integrity #community #alwaysbyyourside #skillsdevelopment
