Why Defense Professionals Work With Me

William Beaver

If you’re applying for $100,000+ positions, your resume is a business asset that requires strategic planning and leads to interviews, salary increases and high-value contracts if done correctly.

I created Defense Profiles to serve defense professionals who need premium career positioning — not generic resume writing.

With 25+ years in the defense world, including 16 years in Kuwait, service in the U. S. Army and founding Danger Zone Jobs.com in 2005, I understand the needs of this unique market.

My services are specialized for:

    • Cleared or uncleared defense industry professionals
    • Contractors transitioning to Federal roles
    • Federal employees applying for advancement
    • Military personnel transitioning to Federal or contractor careers

To help you, I use a comprehensive understanding of:

      Overseas contract experience translation

     • Federal hiring language & USAJobs scoring and formatting

     • Transitioning from contractor to GS roles

     • How hiring managers in the defense sector evaluate resumes

The 5-Step Process

1.  We start with a Defense Resume Strategy Audit.
I review your existing resume and LinkedIn profile compared to your goals, and discuss what I find with you including clear next-steps suggestions for planning. 

2. When you decide to move forward, 
 we’ll deep dive into your objectives, jobs of interest, and companies or agencies you want to go after, and discuss everything by email, telephone calls or on something like Zoom.

3. I’ll strategically plan your resume
by gathering information from your existing resume, performance reviews, certifications, diplomas, DD 214, etc. and mapping the job qualifications and requirements to your background.

4. I’ll research job posts you’re pursuing
to identify the best keywords for your specific job search objectives, strategically include them in your resume, and ensure that your resume presents you as a highly relevant and qualified candidate.

5. I’ll craft a strong and effective resume
that works successfully with recruiters and job search software.
