Career Challenges
After your service, you may face unique challenges when it comes to doing your job or finding employment. Veterans bring unique skills to the workplace, but reintegration to life and work outside the military can be tough, especially if you’re dealing with bosses or colleagues who seem insensitive to or unfamiliar with your situation.
