“For the longest time, I tried to avoid bringing up my military service because I was afraid of presenting a ‘Thank me for my service’ type vibe. After dozens of interviews, all asking the same canned questions, I decided to lean into it because I was getting tired of coming up with ways to answer ‘Tell us about a time you encountered a stressful situation at work and how you handled it?’ while avoiding my background.”
“Now I just say, ‘Well, as a combat medic with the infantry serving in Iraq, I have many instances of dealing with high-stress situations. In the end, I was able to overcome the obstacles by relying on my training, my leadership, and the skills I acquired through continuing education in my field to do the best that I could and not dwell too much on my failures, but rather use them as a learning opportunity.’ No shit, as soon as I started doing this, I started getting serious job offers. And for the record, I work in payroll and data analysis, so I’m using this for dumbass corporate office jobs.”
