John’s story

Captain (O-3), Marines, to Security and Intelligence.

I have accepted the step 1 and I start the 3 month background check. This is basically a special permission request to hire during the hiring freeze.

John’s transition

John served as a Captain in the Marines, building expertise in security and intelligence. When his transition came, he used Best Military Resume to build a resume that targeted positions in the intelligence community.

John accepted a position. What makes his story notable is the context. The hiring freeze was in effect, and his selection required a special permission request to hire. That means the organization wanted John badly enough to push through the bureaucratic barriers to get him on board.

That does not happen with a mediocre resume. It happens when the candidate's qualifications are so clearly communicated that the hiring authority is willing to fight for the hire.

John's resume did that. Best Military Resume helped him build a document strong enough to survive the most challenging hiring environment in recent federal history. Background check in progress. Career in motion.

John built a resume that got results. Same tools. Free to start. About 15 minutes.
