                 To give your resume the best competitive edge with future employers, it must:

 

· Be lean, mean and focused on the job you're seeking.  (What do you want?)

 

· Highlight the best of your transferable skills for the job.  (Tell them what you know how to do.)

 

· Show the best recognition and accomplishments of your career.  (Brag about yourself!)

 

· Document your academic credentials and related training.  (You have more than you think.)

 

· Be written in terms that civilian employers understand.  (Translate from military to civilian language.)

I’m Peter Marx, your GIJobCoach.  I have 16 years experience as the Transition Assistance Program Manager at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida.  Over the years, I’ve coached more than 10,000 separating or retiring military members and their spouses as they started their new lives in the civilian community.

You probably attended some of the same Transition briefings, classes or workshops that I’ve taught and some that I have designed for use throughout the Department of Defense.

My program was awarded one of only two "Outstanding Program" awards from over 300 that were inspected by the DoD Inspector General’s office in our last inspection.

I'm sure you understand my pride in that award and the confidence I have in writing the best and most competitive resume you can get.

Creating GIJobCoach is my way of keeping in touch with the military world I love and continuing to provide personalized, top quality resume writing services to our community.

Text Box: “Your help on my resume got my foot in the door of 4 financial companies.  I was in negotiations with them, plus another company seeking my management skills (another resume you helped me with) and a government job when I received a call for an interview with the government job.  I got the government position!  So, thanks for all your help.  I have since helped several folks I know here at the Pentagon with their resumes, using your techniques, although certainly not near the level that you provided to me…

Thanks!!!”
