Fear of change
One of the things that I noticed when I made the transition out of the military into a civilian-type career was the ‘fear of change’.
I had spent 20 years in a very structured environment, everything was clearly articulated for me and expectations were clear on every level. There was some real fear when I realized that businesses do not always articulate exactly what they want or what they are looking for — but they still expect you to hit the moving target.
I’m wondering how others have managed to cope with the change from a very specific work space to a vague and plagued with second guessing.
