Cal’s story

Cal’s transition

Cal gave the Navy two decades in operations and logistics. He ran supply at sea, taught the next wave of logisticians, took command, and directed large-scale programs. On paper, he is exactly the kind of leader any company should want.

Getting companies to answer was the hard part.

In January he sat down with Best Military Resume and built nine tailored resumes in a single day. Not one resume blasted everywhere. One resume for each specific role he wanted.

By April he had five interviews lined up.

By July he had four offers on the table. $165,000. $162,000 plus $100,000 in stock. A general manager role still pending. And a $180,000 formal offer from a defense contractor.

He declined the first two. When the offers stack up like that, you get to choose.

In his words: before using the site it was hit or miss. Now it is routine to get someone to answer.
