TestimonialWhen I left the military, I struggled to find a way to write a resume… I read a bunch of books, got help from the VA Rep at the NH Unemployment Office, but none of it worked… It led to menial jobs with little promise. Then I left to go back down to NC, where I finish my undergraduate degree… As I finished up, I started to worry about my resume and how I would write a good resume that would get me noticed. After several people told me about a company called www.resumedoctor.com, I figured I’d check them out. It starts out pretty mundane – you send in your resume and they give you a 10 line critique (which I later found out was the same critique for every submission…) After the critique, I got a little excited and I bought the $200 package of personal “one on one” counseling, and resume rewrite… I had such high hopes! After an hour or so on the phone of being berated by some guy who was very much “anti-military, anti-establishment”, and being told that I was setting my sights too high by looking for a job higher than 30K, I finally told the guy that he was “fired”! It took another 3 weeks, but he refunded the money with a parting email that was nothing short of degrading and disrespectful… In it, he spelled out how I would likely remain on unemployment for an extended period of time, simply because I had no marketable skills in “today’s fast paced environment”… Toward the end of our conversation, I told you that I have a hard time explaining what I did while I was on active duty – that it was “just a job” to me – well, I didn’t feel that way when I spoke with AFC (& Kelly)… In fact, I didn’t even need to explain it – it was like they knew – and they were able to put it into words for me… That’s comforting – that’s reassuring – and that’s what I tell everyone that I get the chance to talk with… These guys are exactly what the service member needs – (brutal) honesty, professionalism, loyalty, integrity, and a strong and genuine work ethic… After all, that’s what we expect from one another on the battle field, so why shouldn’t we expect it from those who represent us… Kevin Vail |
