Pick the statement that describes you right now. Each one routes you to the single best resource on this site for your situation — no browsing required.
You served. You separated or you're about to. You know federal jobs exist but you don't know how the system actually works — the GS scale, the KSAs, the referral process, none of it.
Start with the Federal Survival Guide. It covers the fundamentals without the fluff: how federal hiring actually works, what USAJobs is really doing when it screens your resume, and the three mistakes most veterans make in the first 90 days.
You've submitted applications. You have the qualifications. But you're not making the referral list — which means a hiring manager never even sees your name.
The problem is almost always the resume, not the experience. The Zero Protocol walks you through the exact framework for writing a federal resume that clears the automated screening and lands you on the referral list. Free ebook, no opt-in required.
You made the referral list. You may have even interviewed. But you didn't get the job — and no one told you why.
That silence is data. The AAR Generator walks you through a structured After Action Review of your application and interview so you can identify exactly where the gap is and close it before the next opportunity. Most veterans skip this step. That's why they keep getting the same result.
You're not in crisis mode. You're employed, you're watching the landscape, and you want to stay sharp — because the federal hiring environment changes and you don't want to be caught flat-footed.
The Passdown is a weekly brief formatted like a military passdown. Federal hiring intel, career strategy, and one tactical move you can execute the same week you read it. Delivered every Monday. Free.

Everything on this site is free. No coaching. No placement services. Just the frameworks he wished he had.
