53. Kicking off 2023 with Chad Jespersen, USAF (Retired)

Happy New Year! Chad Jespersen retired from the United States Air Force in June 2021.  With the COVID 19 pandemic ramping up as he was preparing to transition out of the service, he was forced to find innovative ways to network, which he did, including extensive use of Zoom and other online tools to meet people who could help him with his goal to find his next career.  What was clear from our conversations, both this one and another that we had offline, Chad is a person who not only talks about the importance of networking, but practices it.  Familiar with the numerous programs such as Hiring Our Heroes, Candorful, Fourblock, and American Corporate Partners, Chad is a walking encyclopedia.  Now working for Unisys in HR and acquisitions, Chad is a great source for information and tips about making the transition from active duty to the civilian sector.  His LinkedIn profile is available at https://www.linkedin.com/in/chad-jespersen/
