Message from Patra to Veterans:

I am delighted to be writing this column, after many years helping vets and transitioning military with their job searches. My passion is helping people thrive at work and helping companies create success through their employees. I speak and write regularly on job search topics and talk to job seekers constantly.

I am looking forward to hearing from you. What topics do you want me to cover? What issues are most troublesome for you in your search? What have you learned that other military folks need to know?

You can reach me at questions@job-hunt.org.
