If this is you, a coach can help

  • You led people and ran operations, and your resume still reads like an evaluation report full of acronyms civilian recruiters can't decode.
  • You can't tell what civilian level matches your experience. A senior NCO or a field-grade officer could fit anything from team lead to director, and the titles don't map cleanly.
  • You have a separation or retirement date and want target roles, a resume and interviews lined up before terminal leave.
  • You're already out, took the first job that came along, and want a role that uses your leadership and your clearance.
What you get

Built for a military transition

Your service, translated

Your coach helps you turn rank, MOS or rating, and command experience into civilian titles, scope and outcomes a hiring manager understands.

The right title and level

Your coach helps you size your experience against civilian roles in operations, program management, logistics and defense, then target the level that fits.

Your clearance, put to work

An active security clearance is an asset with defense contractors and federal employers. Your coach helps you find and position for the roles that value it.

A story that works in civilian interviews

Your coach helps you cut the acronyms, lead with results, and tell your story in civilian interviews, including the salary conversation.

Questions

Military and veteran career coaching FAQ

How do I translate my rank and MOS into a civilian job title?

There's no exact conversion, which is why it's hard to do alone. Your coach looks at what you led, the size of your team, the budgets and equipment you were responsible for, and the results, then matches that to civilian titles and levels. You leave with target roles and a resume written in the employer's language.

Can a coach help me plan around SkillBridge and my separation date?

Yes. Your coach helps you decide what kind of role and employer to target, whether a program like DoD SkillBridge fits your plans, and how to sequence applications and interviews around your timeline. Eligibility and approval run through your command and the program, so confirm those details there.

Is my security clearance worth anything in a civilian job search?

It can be. Defense contractors and federal agencies often look for candidates who already hold a clearance, because a new one takes time and money to process. Your coach helps you find those roles and present the clearance alongside your experience.

What if my coach isn't the right fit?

Tell us within 48 hours of your first session and we'll re-match you or refund you. That's our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
