I am Thankful for this Federal Job

I am Thankful for this Federal Job I am Thankful for this Federal Job I am Thankful for this Federal Job HIRED AND STARTING WORK NOV. 24, 2017 IN THE USA By Kathryn Troutman, Author, Federal Resume Guidebook 6th and Jobseeker Guide, 8th November 22, 2017 11/14/2017 Thank you for your great writing and support for my federal resume building. I am starting my new job with a different agency on Monday and I am very excited. I feel this is the caliber of job that I deserve and need to be in. You and your staff helped me get there. I was selected for Construction Analyst for HUD. I did not expect to get the 13 and was very pleased after the result. Being stuck in Afghanistan on deployment and having the time zone difference create more complications in communication, You and your staff did a phenomenal job in helping me pursue the job I deserve. Sure its my opinion, but when I know in my heart and soul I know what I know and just being able to tell some stranger that is very difficult in any way shape or form. You allowed me on paper to explain myself the way it needed to be. I think this job is my destiny and I think my new supervisors feel the same way as they read my resume. I walked out of Afghanistan with a cache of awards and medals that only I and the people I worked with know about. My existing command will never know this information but it will need to be explained to any new jobs I seek and I will use you again to help assist me in explaining this. I dont think Ill need you again as I think Ive found the job for me but if I do your the first person I call. If you read my original resume that I wrote, I had my Marine career in there. Its extremely difficult to explain or convert combat and weapons experience into real life. The Marine Corps made me who I am today. Youll never explain that in words. My construction experience was hard for me to explain as well. I have done a lot. Veterans like myself thought I could walk right in to a GOV job. And with my experience it took a year to get in the door. Of course I see a lot of the buddy system in the GOV but its a small percentage of the jobs available. The right resume might of rectified my situation. Thank you Ladies Semper FI PS Use any or all of our communications for the validity of your service!!! Kathryn, I just did my last day yesterday at the base and it was sadfor about 1 minute. Im throwing everything I have at this job because I think I found the right fit.
