Real email, in their words.

I did get a job offer. Networking, resume, and the interview. 2 weeks. 130K. Network with people, research the companies — look to see if they have military recruiters; they help a ton with getting your resume and app through the system. Upskill, tailor your resume to the JD, have a mentor, sign up for free resources that are transitioning & vet focused.
