Career Transition
From
Lieutenant Colonel (O-5)
Army
To
Operations and Logistics
That’s right! I used BMR at the end of 2024 to get a job as a Budget Analyst with (Redacted) Command (GS13) in January and then retired at the end of February. Side note - I never spent a day as a finance/budget person prior to starting that job. I decided to take the second DRP because I was concerned there would be a reduction in force. I re-upped with BMR for job_search_v2. After more than a dozen interviews and two job offers, I took a position as a Business Analyst with a (Redacted) (and cut my commute by more than 550 miles each week). Thank you for what you do. - (Redacted)
James served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Army. His transition story has two chapters, and Best Military Resume was there for both.
Chapter one: James used BMR at the end of 2024 to land a GS-13 Budget Analyst position. He retired in February and started the job in January. The remarkable part is that James had never spent a single day as a finance or budget professional. The resume translated his Army leadership and operational experience into something that federal hiring managers in a completely different field could see value in.
Chapter two: Concerned about a potential reduction in force, James re-subscribed to BMR and started job search round two. After more than a dozen interviews and two job offers, he accepted a Business Analyst position that cut his commute by more than 550 miles per week.
Two transitions. Two successful outcomes. Both built on resumes from Best Military Resume.
James's story is one of the most compelling on the platform because it shows adaptability. He did not just use BMR once. He came back when circumstances changed and it delivered again. That kind of reliability across multiple job searches is what separates a good tool from a great one.
James built a resume that got results.
