Retiring from the U.S. Navy following 21 years of service, I found that my first venture into the civilian job market left me feeling both apprehensive and eager to start a new adventure.
I came to Boeing in July by way of networking. My colleague introduced me to a Boeing employee who had a job opportunity that fit my skills. I had already made an account on the careers site to keep me connected with Boeing job announcements, so I was able to quickly apply once I heard about the available position.
My military experience not only provided valuable technical skills but also instilled in me the commitment to team and professionalism. During my short time here, I’ve found that Boeing really values the traits that I learned during my time in the service.
My management team has gone out of its way to help me adjust to my new career, and I’ve received so much support from other veterans on my team who have also made the transition. The future is bright–and I look forward to spending it with Boeing.
