Desiree’s story
Sergeant (E-5), Army, to Senior Financial Consultant. $135,000 per year
Real email, in their words.
Thank you so much for providing such an affordable and amazing tool to use! I was able to secure a job making $135k hybrid with your resume services. During the first interview, the comment was made, "I am not even sure what to ask because I love your resume from the top down." I will now be a senior financial consultant, which is amazing because this offer came a week after finishing my MBA in Business Analytics. A huge difference was how my military service was easily explained, which made it much easier to talk about to someone who had no prior knowledge of the military. I am excited to be joining a women-owned company as their first female veteran, and I could not have done it without your service giving me the confidence of an excellent resume!
Desiree’s transition
Desiree spent five years in the Army National Guard running supply chain and operations as a Sergeant. Like a lot of Guard members, she built a civilian career at the same time, working in HR and program analysis. She knew what she could do. She needed the next role to see it too.
In January she built her first resume on Best Military Resume. Then she went to work. Program management roles. HR and operations roles. Finance roles. Federal and private sector both. Every single opening got its own tailored version. Eighty-three of them across seven months.
The one that landed came down to a 40-minute phone call. Forty minutes in, the interviewer told her he had run out of things to ask, because the resume had already answered everything.
In her words: "I am not even sure what to ask because I love your resume from the top down."
She starts as a senior financial consultant at $135,000, hybrid. The offer arrived one week after she finished her MBA in Business Analytics, and she joins a women-owned company as their first female veteran.
What she says made the difference is worth repeating, because it is the whole problem in one sentence. Her military service was finally explained in a way that someone with no military background could follow and talk about.
Eighty-three doors. She kept knocking until one opened all the way.
Desiree built a resume that got results. Same tools. Free to start. About 15 minutes.
