Your resume builder played a real part in that. It helped me present my experience in a way that translated well from military to civilian language, which is where a lot of vets get stuck. A lot of talented vets sell themselves short. The experience is there, it just has to be packaged the right way.
Corey’s transition
Corey spent over two decades in Air Force security. Antiterrorism. Force protection. Vulnerability assessments. He led security teams and ran physical and personnel security programs at senior levels.
The experience was there. Getting it onto paper in the language federal hiring managers wanted to see was the harder part. That translation piece is where he says a lot of veterans get stuck.
Landing a GS-11 was a personal goal. Corey used Best Military Resume to build his federal resume, targeting a Physical Security Specialist role. The platform helped him turn more than 20 years of military security work into civilian results, leadership, and measurable impact.
He was referred and ultimately selected. GS-11. The goal he had been working toward.
His advice to other veterans going the federal route is worth reading twice. Tailor every resume to the announcement. Do not use one generic resume for every job. Apply even if you do not feel 100% qualified. Let them tell you no. Be patient. The federal hiring process can move slow, but keep pushing.
A lot of talented vets sell themselves short. The experience is there. It just has to be packaged the right way.
