Congratulations, justin!
Assistance Received: My coach helped me see where my resumes were overloaded with needless qualifications, many of which were unrelated to the specific job postings. She helped me see clearly whether I was truly qualified for what I was interested in. She helped me learn to give concise responses during the interview process.
Results: I would never have known about the specific job listing that I ended up being hired for, and I am confident that with my previous track record, I would have bombed the interview process, if I was lucky enough to have even made it that far.
Value of Experience: I have spoken to dozens of my Marine brothers about the awesome tool that is the CASY process. I am incredibly grateful for the help, guidance, and mostly, for the patience my coach gave me. I wanted to land a killer career like yesterday, so she had her hands full helping slow me down enough to work the process. The career that I am now in checks all of my required boxes: the amount of travel I do, my ability to work remote, controlling my own schedule, amazing benefits, lots of customer interface, and amazingly, about $20k a year higher than where I thought I’d end up financially.
Hiring Challenge: I thought that I had mastered resume writing and targeting because I had successfully landed dozens of interviews prior to finding CASY. I also thought that I was great at interviewing because they were always very positive and friendly.
