We've all been there - maybe it was during your military transition or years after you've been out - where you think you're doing everything right.

Following all the advice.

Using Keywords.

Listing your accomplishments.

But for whatever reason, you are still no closer to landing those jobs you've been after. And you see former brothers and sisters in arms - other Vets - being referred and landing positions when you know you are just as qualified, if not more so.

You start to question yourself. "What am I doing wrong?", you ask yourself.

Somehow doing all of those right things is not paying off and you continue to get more and more frustrated with each and every job announcement you apply to.

It feels like a hamster wheel. You're moving, but going nowhere.

The difference between being referred and being passed over remains a mystery to you.

Am I doing the best I can to represent all of my military experience to a civilian employer?

Imagine for a minute what it would feel like to "figure it all out".

You start seeing referral after referral so that you have more chances at interviews instead of being frustrated. You apply to different positions with confidence instead of dreading seeing another job announcement.

And you finally know with certainty that you are moving in the right direction.

You sit down to apply for another job knowing you have a resume that is going to set you apart.

You see yourself in a position with career growth and opportunities.

You're no longer stressed and frustrated and can spend quality time with your family and friends.
