Boots About BusinessStories from military veterans that transitioned to the world of business. Author: Frank Strong
Support for our military veterans has never been higher than it is today. Many businesses have an interest in employing veterans, but they dont know how to connect, and they dont really understand the skills veterans can bring to their business. Something similar can be said about veterans in transition and their understanding of the business world. Hi, Im Frank Strong, Im a veteran, Ive worked in businesses of all sizes, small-, medium and large, today Im a business owner and now, Im hosting a podcast called Boots about Business.

Episode 30: Veterans Have an Employment Edge With or Without a College; Jason Marchant of FineTune
Wednesday, 16 June, 2021
https://www.swordandthescript.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/bab_030_jason_marchant.jpg Jason Marchant won’t tell you to not get a degree, but he will tell you don’t let not having one prevent you from applying for a job. That’s how he did it. And in a couple years, he went from a veteran in transition, and wondering what he’d do with his life, to having a career in sales and business card with the title of “president” of a franchise. Today he leads a sales team for a company called Fine Tune. When he hires, he doesn’t require a college degree. Instead, he looks for people willing to put in the effort, and he’ll train them on the skills needed. Jason is a former Marine that later served in the Army Reserve and deployed to Afganistan (there’s a lot of former Marines in the Army Guard and Reserve). On this episode, he shares how he wound up with a career in sales.
