Andrew’s transition

Andrew served as a Senior Chief Petty Officer in the Navy, building years of leadership and training expertise. When his transition came, he knew the job search would take patience and persistence. He was right. It took over a year.

But Andrew never stopped. He kept applying. He kept tailoring his resume for every single application using Best Military Resume. That discipline made all the difference.
