Planning to move just south of Austin in August. National Guardsman completing nearly two years of training in a few months. Hoping to find a job with steady weekday hours as I return to the civilian job market.

Most recent civilian work experience was in a supervisor role at a Starbucks. My recent military training has taught me a lot about discipline, commitment, organization, time management, interpersonal skills, and more.

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Would folks be open to participating in a “PM Office Hours” style discussion?

Flexible on format etc; here’s what I’m thinking:
- We choose a particular problem for a week (/month?) which a lot (all?) PMs face regularly. E.g. “stakeholder mapping”
- we have a “Fishbowl Live event” where we (practicing PMs) can discuss what we have seen work / not work/ brainstorm solutions for someone with a specific problem.

The idea is to provide multiple peer perspectives, and hopefully something useful
