Eric's Story

Eric spent two decades in Air Force security forces. He started on response teams and worked his way up through team leader, flight sergeant, and flight chief roles into senior program management, running standardization, logistics, and training for large organizations. Twenty years of real leadership.

When it came time to transition, he treated the job hunt like a mission. He built dozens of tailored resumes on Best Military Resume, private sector and federal both, one for every role he chased in project and program management.

It worked more than once. In his words, he was hired three different times. Each role was a step. Then came the one he was really after: a GS-11 federal position. "This is where I'll stay."

That is what a transition actually looks like for a lot of senior NCOs. Not one perfect landing. A series of moves, each one closer, until you get the seat you wanted. Eric worked the process all the way to the end.

His note to us closed simply: "Keep doing great things, you all are the best!" Right back at you, Eric.
