Why listen:
In this interview we talk about networking & social media; we talk about interviewing and having a story ready to tell, as well as knowing what interests you; 
we talk about the functional expertise that occurs in the civilian world that doesn’t occur in the military; we also talk about Comcast NBCUniversal’s commitment to hiring over 21,000 members of the military community by the end of 2021; and we talk about all the ways in which Comcast NBCUniversal is a great place for the military community (including spouses).
