As an enlisted veteran, he experienced firsthand the challenging journey of transitioning from military service to the civilian workforce. He sought out numerous professionals to translate his resume for what seemed like a completely different world. After finding—and then being laid off from—what he thought was his dream job, he grappled with the daunting task of navigating a fiercely competitive job market.
Throughout this journey, he successfully worked in a variety of fields, starting as a technician, moving up to supervisor, then manager, and eventually program management for some of the largest companies, including Amazon, Eaton, and Microsoft. These diverse experiences equipped him with invaluable insights into the demands of the civilian job market and how to position oneself for success.
Like many others, he turned to so-called “professional resume writers” who promised "fully ATS-formatted resumes." What he received, however, were costly but visually appealing resumes that failed even the most basic applicant tracking system (ATS) checks—let alone making a lasting impression on recruiters. After spending hundreds of dollars, he was no closer to securing attention or landing interviews.
Refusing to let this setback define his future, he sought guidance directly from senior recruiters at leading corporations. Through countless conversations, he uncovered crucial insights into the intricacies of ATS and what truly makes a resume stand out. With persistence and refinement, he developed a proven strategy for creating resumes that not only pass ATS filters but also capture the attention of decision-makers.
Now, his mission is to ensure no veteran has to endure the same frustrations he faced. When working with him, clients receive resumes that are not only ATS-optimized but also meticulously crafted to highlight the unique skills and experiences that set them apart. He is dedicated to transforming military service into a compelling story—one that positions veterans for success and opens doors to new opportunities in the civilian world.
He’s been in your boots, wondering how to "demilitarize" military language into corporate speak. From soldiers to personnel, missions to assignments, senior-enlisted to program managers — every role and accomplishment needs the right words to convey its value in the civilian world. His mission is to help veterans confidently bridge that gap, because he knows firsthand how frustrating it is to feel overlooked despite having a wealth of experience.
In today’s economy, it’s not enough for a resume to simply look impressive; it must also be built to work within applicant tracking systems (ATS). What most people won’t tell you is that, without ATS formatting, even the most accomplished resumes can slip through the cracks and never reach a recruiter’s eyes. He’s here to prevent that. His team works tirelessly to ensure resumes not only showcase skills and achievements but are optimized to get noticed by the systems employers use.
He knows that veterans often feel humble about their service and hesitant to “brag” about their accomplishments. But he believes their stories deserve to be told—and told well. That’s why his team digs deep to uncover the unique details of their training, missions, and achievements that make them stand out, not just in the military but in the civilian workforce. His goal is to highlight their individuality and ensure their resumes reflect the true breadth of their experience.
