Vision to Purpose

Happy Thanksgiving, friends!

I’m grateful for God’s unending grace, for the family and friends who steady and cheer me on, and for each of you whose paths have intersected with mine in such meaningful ways. You’re a gift I don’t take lightly.

May your day be filled with peace, joy, and the kind of laughter that makes the stuffing taste even better.

Wishing you a blessed Thanksgiving.

I was recently contacted by a veteran who served in the Special Operations Forces community. He shared something that stopped me in my tracks.

He said, “I used to think jumping out of planes at 25,000 feet in the middle of the night was challenging, but I would argue that this job search process is worse!”

I chuckled at first, thinking he was exaggerating a little, until he told me he had gone through 7 to 9 rounds of interviews for multiple jobs. One company interviewed him 27 times across nine rounds for three different positions and still said no in the end.

That is unacceptable. No veteran or job seeker should be subjected to that kind of emotional marathon. It is exhausting for candidates and damaging for companies. It signals inefficiency, indecisiveness, and poor leadership judgment.

We can do better.

Let’s remember, behind every resume is a human being doing their best to serve again, this time in the civilian world.

I’m curious, how many rounds have you gone through for a single role? I’d really like to know.
