    EP. 33 - How to Build a Thriving Career from Scratch with Steve King

    Have you ever wondered how to build a thriving career, no matter where you start? Are you curious to know what it takes to go from apprentice to operations manager? These are just a couple of the questions we explore with our latest guest, Steve King, on the Ex-Mil Recruitment Podcast. After 24 years in the military, Steve made it a priority to grasp what he wanted to do after his leave. He began to plan early, which he says was key to his success, and once he understood what he needed to do he was able to strategically move forward.  He began as an apprentice, but it wasn't long till he climbed up all the way to the Operations Manager title.  Tune in to hear our discussion about how Steve built a career, why he, as well as Centrica, actively supports veterans and communities such as the Gen Dit Network. Connect with Steve on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steve-king-mcmi-3511067b/ You can also connect with his colleagues here and here.
