129, Q & A: Is my age, size, education going to be a challenge starting in a police career?

Published 2 years ago
Description

Here’s a solocast episode in follow up and coordination with my newest Police 1 article, where I answer the prompt on whether youth is a “problem” as a new cop. Yes and no… and all that comes with it.

Beyond that factor, there’s every other thing. What about “being old” as a new guy or gal? What about being small, though fit and skilled? What about having no formal post high school education.. or truthfully- too much life in academia and not in the traditional workplace?

With all that, we talk about Imposter Syndrome- what it is, how it affects many of us- especially high achievers- and what to do about it.

For the full article, check out @policeone , hit the link in the bio (IG or LinkedIn or the blog at bluegritwellness.com) for my article list or google Police 1, Eric Tung and you’ll find your way there!

As always, let me know what YOU want to see me write, post or hear me talk about.

Stay gritty! 👊🏽
