Who This Is For

Officers, senior NCOs and Special Operations leaders moving into corporate, defense-industry and executive roles across Washington, DC, Northern Virginia and Richmond. It's also for those starting a second career after retirement, who know their experience is valuable but can't get it across on paper.

Why military resumes get overlooked

Most military resumes fail for one reason: civilian readers can't decode them. Ranks, billets, acronyms and mission language mean everything to you and almost nothing to a recruiter or a board.

I come from a military family and have deep ties to the military community. I translate command, operations and federal experience into the terms civilian hiring managers use: P&L, headcount, budget, risk and growth. My clients include Special Forces leaders who have gone on to C-suite roles.

Translated, Not Diluted

Every title, command and billet is reframed for the role you want next, without losing the weight of what you led.

Built for Corporate Search

ATS-compatible resumes and a LinkedIn profile written for recruiter keywords in your target industry.

Interview-Ready

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you write federal resumes for USAJOBS?

No. I focus on private-sector, corporate and executive roles. If you're applying for federal positions, a federal resume specialist is the better fit.

When should I start my transition resume?

Ideally 6 to 12 months before separation or retirement, so your resume and LinkedIn are ready when your network and recruiters start reaching out.

Can you work with classified or sensitive experience?

Yes. We describe the scope, scale and results of your work at an unclassified level, without disclosing anything you can't share.

Do you work with clients outside the DC area?

Yes. I work with clients anywhere by phone and video, with a special focus on Washington, DC, Northern Virginia and Richmond.

Will you explain my rank and roles in civilian terms?

That's the core of the work. Every title, command and billet is translated into the language of the role you want next.
