While many of us are aware of the difficulty that veterans face when transitioning to the civilian workplace, many conversations overlook the experience of military spouses. Being married to a service-member alters a life in many ways. For those who have had to forego a typical career path, getting back to a steady professional routine can be hard.
Barbara Sanchez knows this issue well — she’ll be sharing her experiences and introducing our new veteran hiring partnership with Hiring our Heroes in 2017. She was kind enough to sit down with me and explain her journey as a military wife, mother, and legal counsel with Nestlé USA.
