After 25 years in the military, my biggest challenges were focus, direction, finding out where my talents fit, and discovering where I now wanted to be in the civilian workforce. That was really tough for me. The Hired Executive allowed me to get that thumbnail understanding of where my mindset was at, what my desires were, how my personality impacted my future success… and how that all fit in with this next phase of my career. It was something I really didn’t think about. Before working with The Hired Executive, I tried working with mentors as well as peers who had transitioned their military service ahead of me. However, The Hired Executive was night and day different. Everything I received from The Hired Executive was very personalized, tailored, customized…and gave me tangible feedback to work on and take forward. Having to calendar time with focus towards a specific goal was also really helpful as opposed to the nebulous “I need to prepare for transition” state I was in previously. By comparison, most everything I received from the military was very shotgun blast general. For the most part it was also aimed at people at a level very different from myself. The results speak for themselves. I had multiple interviews with multiple job offers. I landed the job I wanted two days after I started on terminal leave, working with the city I wanted, with great people and great compensation. If you want an experience that is tailored specifically for you, is actionable, and will provide you with great outcomes, then invest in The Hired Executive. They’re a great team that can help you achieve fantastic outcomes through what can be an intimidating process.

I received stellar support from The Hired Executive. Within weeks of commencing the program I had clarity and focus, my actions became aligned with my purpose in terms of how I intentionally advanced my job search, and I started to get traction with my A-list target companies. I exuded confidence in my interviews and was thoroughly prepared when it came to salary negotiations. I received offers from both General Motors and Accenture. I opted for the consulting path and accepted my position less than 12 weeks after starting with The Hired Executive. I’m thrilled about this next phase of my career.

I have been working at one of the top music industry labels for the past 10 years. I recently set a goal to advance my career, from Director to VP. Craig is a master networker who is gifted at teaching ninja networking skills. Within months of working with Craig I built the ideal connections, nailed my interview, and have been offered a VP level position with the country’s hottest music label. 

When I found The Hired Executive, I had already spent several months trying to navigate the transition from being a senior officer in the US Navy for 25 years, to applying my skills and expertise in the civilian world. I felt frustrated and at times struggled with how to network effectively, especially as an introvert. However, once I joined The Hired Executive, I immediately became clear on the type of role that would make the best use of my strengths and interests. I also developed a stronger sense of direction and an actual job search process. As I worked with the team of coaches, I was able to build my confidence even more, develop a strategic networking plan, and make much more effective use of my time spent job searching. I am thrilled that I was able to land and negotiate a six-figure dream job just 8 weeks after starting the program! I have no doubt that my success was directly attributable to the guidance I received from The Hired Executive. I cannot thank the entire team enough for all the world-class coaching, support and encouragement.
