Christopher's Story
Chief Petty Officer (E-7), Coast Guard
Career Transition
From
Chief Petty Officer (E-7)
Coast Guard
To
Federal Policy

I used the resume your site built for me to apply for my first-ever position on USAJOBS, and I was selected for a GS-13 position writing policy for the same type of work I did while on active duty. First pitch- Home Run!
Christopher's Transition Story
Christopher spent 24 years in the Coast Guard and is getting ready to retire. In all that time he had never applied for a federal job. Not one USAJOBS application.
He had heard what everyone hears. The resume filters. The applications that disappear. The people who apply over and over and never get a word back.
He built one federal resume on Best Military Resume and sent it to the first posting he ever applied for. He was selected for a GS-13, writing policy for the same kind of work he had been doing on active duty.
He did all of that on the free plan. The free tier gives you one tailored federal resume and one tailored private one. Christopher used the federal one, and that is the resume that got him selected.
There is a detail that makes this one land harder. Christopher works on the talent acquisition side of a SkillBridge program, so he spends his days helping other transitioning service members find their next step. He had been recommending Best Military Resume to those people for months before he ever used it on his own resume.
In his words, first pitch, home run.
"Never would I have dreamed it would work this well."
Christopher built a resume that got results.
Same tools. Free to start. Takes about 15 minutes.
