Team Candorful’s Half-Marathon to Honor Patriots Day 2024

A note from

Executive Director, Pat Hubbell:

I am proud to tell you that our half-marathon team has grown to a true team, with 5 of us running the Fast Half in Hamilton, MA on April 21, 2024 to honor Patriot’s Day.

Patriot’s Day, the day when the shot heard ’round the world sparked the revolution from Lexington/Concord, MA, and the beginning of this great experiment now known as the USA. Lexington and Concord are just a bit down the road from where Team Candorful will hit the pavement to support our present-day Patriots and their families as they come home after selfless service.

Kind regards,

Pat Hubbell
Candorful Cofounder & Executive Director

Imagine Giving a Gift That

Removes the intense stress of the military-to-civilian transition for a veteran,

And

Enables them to land in the right job, at the right level,

Which

Eliminates the fear of food and housing insecurity for a military family,

That’s exactly what a donation to Candorful will do!

Why Did We Start Candorful?

Why are we passionate about Candorful? Because we are Candorful.

Pete, former US Army Captain, made his transition from the military via Business School. During the recruiting process, Pete, found himself facing unfamiliar challenges. Mastering the art of the job search and, in particular, having the confidence and comfort to connect with the interviewer was a skill that he had to practice and develop.

Later, after launching a successful finance career, Pete realized there was a lack of resources to directly support development of interview skills.

This led Pete to an idea. What if he could develop a coaching service focused on the piece of the job search where the rubber meets the road: The Interview. He also knew that the right place to initially focus this service was on transitioning military veterans. Being one himself, Pete knew the struggles this particular group faced when transitioning from the military to the civilian world.

The need to translate an esoteric set of military accomplishments and job descriptors into common language, combined with the reality that many service members have never interviewed before, make for an ideal opportunity to serve this community.

Pete reached out to Pat in 2016 with the idea, knowing Pat’s vast experience in career coaching, interview prep and mentoring, as Pete’s career counselor at Johnson. Pat also brought experience as a product development engineer and management consultant and therefore a history of process innovation to apply to Pete’s fantastic idea.

Pat and Pete put their heads together to conceptualize a platform where those transitioning from the military, or those in career transition, could meet experienced interview coaches for realistic interview experience and feedback. Together, their combined experiences and skill sets give their clients a competitive advantage in the transition and the job market.
