Service members may apply for the Corporate Fellowship Program from anywhere in the world.<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter where you are in the world \u2013 you can apply for a fellowship.\u201d \u2013 Carla Miller, program manager with Hiring Our Heroes Corporate Fellowship Program<\/p>\n<h3>2. Be open-minded during the interview process. A hotel may be hiring for IT professionals and a hospital may have openings in logistics.<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cI always tell the service member that you have to be really open when it comes to interviewing because you never know what (type of job) a company is going to offer you.\u201d \u2013 Carla Miller, program manager with Hiring Our Heroes Corporate Fellowship Program<\/p>\n<h3>3. If you know what industry you want to pursue post-military, communicate those goals to your CFP program manager.<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really about matching and finding the identity that you want (after the military).\u201d \u2013 Carla Miller, program manager with Hiring Our Heroes Corporate Fellowship Program<\/p>\n<h3>4. The 12-week corporate fellowship is like a marriage. First, there\u2019s the excitement of a new experience, followed by hesitation about your decision to leave the military, and finally, gratitude and fulfillment in your transition.<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cFellows will say \u2018I realized that it took a 12-week process to go through all the emotions and now I\u2019m at peace. I\u2019m glad I did it with a cohort of other service members who were going through the same emotions and feelings that I was going through. And that we could network and mentor each other with the overall goal of employment.\u2019\u201d \u2013 Carla Miller, program manager with Hiring Our Heroes Corporate Fellowship Program<\/p>\n<h3>5. The Corporate Fellowship Program offers a way to humanize your skills further than what is seen on your resume.<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cCompanies say \u2018wow, this service member has great skills that didn\u2019t show in an interview.\u2019\u201d \u2013 Carla Miller, program manager with Hiring Our Heroes Corporate Fellowship Program<\/p>\n<h3>The HOH Sitrep podcast is the official podcast of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation\u2019s Hiring Our Heroes initiative.
