Twenty-year Infantry Soldier Transistions to the Railroad

I have experience working in the outdoors in all types of weather conditions 24
hours a day. The job is GREAT! The pay is even BETTER! For more information go to

Making More Than My Boss
"With the tremendous and invaluable assistance an SFL-TAP Center, my resume was
so impressive that I not only got the first and only job that I applied for, but
the resume, which nicely profiled my military experience, qualifications and education,
netted me a salary range higher than my boss ! I secured a position as Maintenance
Director with the State of NC, Division of Forestry and Natural Resources in the
mountains of North Carolina at their Mountain Training Facility. The location is
exactly where my wife and I wanted to be ! The assistance, guidance and counsel
that I received, one on one, at the SFL-TAP Center was the key component in my post-transition
employment success. With the web sites for job search, I was able to almost immediately
find potential jobs of interest and with the expert assistance of SFL-TAP advisors,
who guided me through the process of the State Employment Application, and the art
of 'tweaking' my resume by identifying Key Words, my application and resume was
chosen out of more than 40 applicants for the position. At my interview, I was told
that my resume was 'Most Impressive'. SFL-TAP truly reflects the meaning of 'Serving
those who Serve.'"
