John's Story

John served in the Marine Corps for nearly 25 years, from 1995 to 2020, finishing as a logistics officer. When he got out, he stayed close to the mission. He worked defense analysis and consulting roles, learning the civilian side of the world he already knew from the inside.

This summer he went to work on the next move. He built his base resume on Best Military Resume in May. In July he went Pro and tailored five separate resumes in six days, each one aimed at a specific analyst, program management, or acquisition role.

About three weeks later, the offer came in. Senior Analyst, supporting the Department of Defense.

His email said it best: he is going back home to the DOD.

Nearly 25 years in uniform taught John how the mission runs. The resumes did the one thing left to do. They showed each hiring manager exactly the analyst they were looking for.
