Z. Christian Zawolo

Jon was honest and direct, which I appreciated. I enjoyed listening to his experience regarding his transition and as a leader in the business realm. He provided sound advice regarding my options for a master’s degree and provided insider knowledge to what companies value in an employee. After my conversation with Jon, I have a better idea of which direction I should go as I continue on with my transition from the military. Thank you, Jon.

Jacqualine McKenna

Sahm is extremely knowledgeable and willing to help veterans in any way he can. Our conversation focused on opportunities in investment banking. His industry expertise allowed him to provide me with excellent, actionable guidance on networking and interview preparation. I look forward to working closely with Sahm as I transition out of the Army.

Justin Messenger

Stephanie was great. She provided additional information on the hiring process that two previous mentors didn’t have. Additionally, despite my future need for services she provides, Stephanie provided information on a competitor who may be more beneficial in my company’s core market. Selflessness like that is hard to come by.

Matthew Clemens

Alicia possesses great interpersonal skills and would be an asset to anyone looking for a great mentor. She understands the current and trending job market in the oil/gas and manufacturing businesses. She provided superior insight on how to get my resume noticed and what companies to keep an eye on. I would recommend Alicia to anyone looking for a knowledgeable mentor that is truly diligent to getting veterans into lasting employment.

Zeb Surdam

Kearstin shared crucial tips about resume writing and introduced me to new ways of highlighting my work experience. She offered personal advice about career transitioning as a military spouse. I left the conversation with actionable steps to improve my resume, a new job opportunity to explore, and advice on the transitioning to a new career field while on the move.

Sahm D. Cho

I had my first mentoring session today and I don’t think I’ll ever be the same person. I teach negotiating skills and a member of the Army who will soon retire called for advice on an offer she just received. Though I am a veteran, I went to law school after separating from the Air Force, I had never thought about the fact that they have never had to think about salary negotiations and it’s inherit anxieties. The call started with her expressing her apprehension and ended with her full of confidence and a plan. When I got off the phone I cried…tears of gratitude…for her service and for finding a way for me to give back in a meaningful way. Thank you for this opportunity. You are changing lives on both sides of the call.

Brady has a clear direction of where he’s headed & a great approach in getting there. I was impressed by his market knowledge but within and beyond his scope at IBM. I’d be happy to make connections for him to help clear his path. Great person, lead professional

Sedef BuyukatamanManagement Consulting

Mike is passionate about helping others reach their full potential, and I’m sure the people he manages can feel that success when working with him. Mike is highly intelligent, and enthusiastic in whatever he chooses to do. I look forward to continuing our relationship and helping him explore next steps as he is transitioning.

Susan ScottsProfessional Training

Completed my first mentoring call today. What a rush! I’ve been working with vets in other capacities and the ease of access through this platform is amazing! I see nothing but great things for the future of this tool through the investment of both the mentors and mentees.

Benjamin M. Effinger, MPAGovernment Administration

Jacob and I had spoken about many things in our first meeting. but we scheduled this call to review changes to his resume to have it more focused for the private sector. Shorter bullet points, more measurable info, and reduce to one page overall. We reviewed the new resume and discussed strategies on how to bring the ideas on the resume to life in an interview and leverage the work he had built into the longer form resume.

Jimmy is incredibly humble when it comes to talking about his nearly 40 years of accomplishments. With more than 22 years in the Navy, Jimmy impacted the lives of many through his stellar leadership and dedication to service. Jimmy would be a high value asset to any organization.
