EDiS Company and The WRK Group host a Trades Job Fair Friday, January 24 at The Warehouse in Wilmington. Local and regional trade contractors will be there to discuss jobs on the Kingswood Community Center Project. The new Kingswood facility will greatly expand the center's offerings for children, families and seniors, and trade workers and skilled laborers will play an important part in not just the construction but in building a space that will empower generations to come. https://hubs.ly/Q032XQqp0 #ChooseDelaware #NetDE

Calling all MN based Titans-in-waiting. Twice a year, we do these "job fairs", which is in quotes because it's not your typical job fair. - Our different Titan practice areas (engineering, marketing, PM, etc.) host huddles where they talk about what needs we might have, how we do the voodoo that we do, etc. - Friends of the firm who are also looking for resources join the cause and are doing the same - We welcome Titans-in-waiting of all stripes - varying levels of experience, and all roles. - And we do all this with some of the typical Irish Titan green glove experience. These have been great for us and for our friends. We've hired 6 different Titans from these events, and some of those hirings have happened well after the job fair. Which means that it's a great way for us to get to know each other and develop relationships, so that when the timing is mutually right, it's a smooth process. Kind of the whole "dig a well before you need the water" kind of thing. If you've been interested in getting to know more about working at Irish Titan, or know someone who's in the market for an engineering, creative, marketing, or PM role, these are the shenanigans you're looking for. See you there.

Reflecting on My Journey from the Military to the Private Sector Since retiring from the military in April 2010, I've had the opportunity to grow and understand what transitioning from active service to the private sector truly means. Here are some key lessons for veterans making this shift: 1.  Value of Military Experience: Unless you're a senior officer or sergeant major, your military experience may not be as highly valued in the private sector. While you might secure a supervisory or entry-level manager position, this is often due to having a degree rather than your military background. 2.  Understanding the Rules: Adjusting to the private sector takes time because the rules differ. In the military, experience and education directly influenced roles. In the private sector, these factors are not always understood or valued the same way. 3.  Quitting is an Option: In the military, quitting isn't an option—you see your enlistment through. In the private sector, the ability to quit is new and can be both a challenge and a temptation. It’s important to avoid job hopping, as this can harm your career progression. 4. Choosing the Right Industry: Some industries, like retail, can be particularly challenging for veterans. High demands, lack of support, and leaders who don’t take ownership can make it difficult to succeed. Finding an industry where your skills and experience are valued and supported is crucial. 5. Recruiting Veterans: Companies often recruit veterans for entry-level or junior leadership roles. Understanding this can help set realistic expectations and assist in planning your career path. Transitioning from the military to the private sector is a journey that requires patience, understanding, and strategy. These lessons have helped me navigate my path, and I hope they can provide some guidance for fellow veterans. #MilitaryTransition #VeteranCareers #CareerAdvice #Leadership #PrivateSectorSuccess
