Week SIX of my Skillbridge Fellowship at Lockheed Martin through Hiring Our Heroes completed! The time is FLYING but not a single minute of it is wasted. This past week I really put my nose to the grindstone, building a foundation for an incredible project with the goal of assisting new employees utilizing the effectiveness of mentorship. In addition, the needle moved a bit more on a very ambitious project that isn’t quite ready for announcement BUT when it does happen (and I really believe it will), I’ll take a victory lap on this platform. Lastly, we launched our second round of the pilot virtual workshop where meaningful advice and information was shared between knowledgeable and experienced Lockheed employees to those in our military communities (active duty, veterans, spouses, dependents, and caregivers). On a more personal side, it is stunning to think I’m halfway through my Fellowship. I’m asked pretty frequently if my Skillbridge is going to get me a job and that’s a tough one to answer. First and foremost, no, my Skillbridge by itself is NOT going to get me a job. It’s important to understand that a Skillbridge is just that, meant to bridge the gap between my military skills and experiences and that of the non-military (ie, “civilian”) workplace. To that end, my Skillbridge has been value added on a daily basis! But that doesn’t “get me a job”. What it DOES give is the best tools to enhance my brand and the things which make me marketable! It DOES allow me the access and experiences to a new, exciting business cultures and ways of getting things accomplished! Those are the ways that Skillbridge is going to help me “get a job”. And not just a “job”. A meaningful, fulfilling, career in a space that energizes and motivates me… where I can add value, create meaningful change, and continue investing in others so they can one day do the same. Have a great weekend!!  #militarytransition #militarycommunity #skillbridge Corrine Jamie Eric Ray Samantha Allison Carlos Jordan Beth

“Sure, there are a lot of front doors that can get you started, like the DIU or AFWERX, but if you don’t have a sponsor on the backend who’s willing to bring you in and adopt you at scale, it’s going to be a challenge. So, you have to be very selective about who you end up investing your cycles in.” - TJ Rowe, VP of Sales at #SecondFront Did you catch TJ's episode of #AQ2F? After completing his Engineering degree at West Point, TJ spent 7 years as an Infantry Officer with the Army, then carried his success over to the land of commercial real estate.
