Any good recommendations for a local barber shop in the area? Recently moved to Ogden and I am in need of a haircut and beard trim

Title is for engagement, I’m a new broker and actually having the time of my life! I thought I would at best tolerate this job, but it’s a good time so far. Turns out I don’t mind making calls all day, I find it very exciting to negotiate and try to figure out a way to make profit in a very tight capacity market.

I’ve only actually managed to book a few trucks so far (very new) but I can see myself continuing to enjoy this job for a long time! I keep seeing people on the sub say how brutal this job is, and I can see how it could get that way. But hopefully I’m just the right kind of personality for this industry! Anyone else really enjoy brokering?

I’m pretty new to the business, but everything I’m learning makes me feel like this is a good industry for motivated individuals to go off and be their own bosses. I obviously don’t know nearly enough to start my own business, so I plan to put a few years in before I make any kind of moves but am I off base here?

I’m not looking to make millions, just be my own boss, work from wherever I want, and take home a comfortable (low 6 figure minimum ideally) pay long term.

Any input is greatly appreciated! Like I said, mostly just making sure that this is actually something reasonable to look into creating several years in the future, once I’m a competent broker.

I feel like I recall there being some update to the way ABCP chapters are processed, but I can’t find anything recent. Historically I believe ABCP chapters were allowed to be either honorable or general (under honorable conditions), but I could have sworn SECDEF said something about body composition failure not being honorable or something, and there was maybe a memo or something that came out saying ABCP chapters are general (under honorable conditions) now? I can’t find anything supporting this, did I somehow make this up?

Thanks for anyone who can provide help beyond “look it up” as I already have and can’t find anything.

I posted here about two months ago, I was looking for some advice on breaking into project management coming off my active duty contract. I’m almost done with the Coursera Google PM certificate (I know it’s not great but my work is paying for it, so I don’t mind), and I’m planning to sit for the CAPM within two months (hopefully work pays for this one too, if not…not sure it will be worth it). I’ve been applying for jobs all over the space for about a month, from Project Manager/Coordinator roles to very tangentially related things that list PM skills in the job description. It’s felt like a never ending slog, most of the listings I look at have over a hundred applicants, and they all have degrees.

I was honestly getting to the point where I decided it was impossible for me to find a job in the field currently, but I decided to download LinkedIn and see if that made a difference. I’m sure that’s probably what I should have done right off the bat, but coming from the military, LinkedIn is not something I’ve thought much about in the past. I have to say it’s been a game changer for me! I’m finding way more entry level roles, even some local ones that are looking for people with little to no formal PM experience that they can mentor in several different industries. I had an interview a couple of days ago, and I have 6 more roles that I am very hopeful I can land interviews for.

All that is to say, for people like me who are struggling to find their way, don’t give up! Expanding the parameters of my job search, using new platforms, and learning about making a resume that doesn’t suck has changed the game for me. I’m hopeful I will land a role within the next 1-2 months, and I hope everyone else looking will too! Just…not the ones I’m looking at, find your own please.
