SPECIAL VETERAN FEATURE
By Col. Michael T. Lawhorn, US Army, Ret.
(Member of Patriots Path class December 2018)

Wow! It's been a few weeks since my retirement ceremony, and the job search is in full swing.
One of the first things I did, which turned out to be very beneficial, was to take three weeks of vacation time and try to unplug (well, to stay minimally plugged). We took a week to go out of town and then two weeks of taking it easy around the house, all the while keeping my ears open for future professional opportunities.
As I go through this process, I continue to learn more about myself and what I want from my next career. In this post, I wanted to share a few more things I've learned about this transition process and finding that right "next team."

We've always been extremely fortunate to have amazing resources to refer our veterans to. Patriots Path volunteers double as career coaches, mentors, and mock interviewers.
If you're interested in becoming a volunteer, please register with us. We are always in need of experienced resume writers and editors as well as general resume coaches to help veterans prepare this important document for their career transition.
