Career Transition
From
E-7, Navy
To
Skilled Trades
Sorry for the delay. Playing catch-up. Being retired isn't as retired as I thought it would be... BMR was one of my best transitional investments as I was on the tail end of retiring. I was probably sending out 2-3 resumes a week, looking at different contracting gigs for a while, and needing to tweak a thing here or there, but BMR saved me an immense amount of time. Then, life took a bit of a turn with the administration shift, and all of the contracting and GS gigs I had lined up were paused (but we had a feeling this might be the case late last year, so I wasn't too surprised). This is where BMR came in and saved the day again. I ended up shooting off resumes to jobs that were COMPLETELY out of the niche job sphere that I came from in the Navy. A couple of jobs I inquired about turned out to be flops, but one led to a phone call with a buddy who put me in touch with a guy he knew was hiring for a Sales account manager role. So I shot off a general resume that I had on hand (high five BMR). I had a quick intro interview, which led to me needing to quickly turn in a role-based resume that would get fired over to the HR department with the online job application (boom another high five for BMR seeing as it turned an hours-long ordeal into literally minutes). I went from a phone call to a quick informational interview to firing off an application with a new resume to an email response for lining up an official interview with HR within 24 hours. Went through the subsequent few interviews, did well, and ended up with a job offer!

Thanks for all you do man, and best of wishes to your continued success in business and helping other vets out!
