Self-paced course

The full 8-week curriculum, on your own timeline.

The complete founding-cohort program — worksheets, résumé templates, certification roadmap, skills worksheet, and a 90-day application plan — bundled for one $297 one-time purchase.

  • E-5 to E-8. Platoon sergeants, section chiefs, senior NCOs — anyone who already owns scope, teams, and outcomes but needs the civilian language and a structured 90-day plan.
  • Signal / IT / comm. 25-series MOS, network operations, SATCOM, NOC, COMSEC, spectrum — the work that translates cleanly into GS-2210 IT Specialist narratives on a USAJOBS submission.
  • 6–12 month window. Already past the ETS decision but not yet inside the application sprint. Long enough to work through the eight weeks; short enough that the résumé needs to ship, not be redesigned from scratch.
  • Self-paced > live cohort. Either the founding cohort dates don’t line up with your ETS, or you learn better on your own clock. Same curriculum, same artifacts, your timeline.

What’s bundled

Five deliverables, one purchase.

Every piece of the founding-cohort program, bundled. Each link below is to the public preview page — buy once and you can return to any of them without re-authenticating.

Included
Full 8-week curriculum

The same eight-week program the founding cohort runs — worksheets, templates, certification sequencing, GS-grade comparisons, interview prep, and a 90-day application plan. One working artifact per week.

Included
Federal USAJOBS résumé template

4–6 page federal résumé: announcement-specific header, per-duty supervisor, narrative accomplishments, explicit KSA response block. Work an HR-graded version of your real record.

Included
Defense-contractor résumé template

2-page résumé tuned for the cleared primes (SAIC, Booz Allen, Leidos, CACI). Clearance on top, acronym-heavy skill band, scope-led bullets, prior service compressed.

Included
Military-to-civilian skills worksheet

30 Army Signal Corps (25-series) MOS-to-GS-2210 mappings plus senior-NCO leadership translations. Each row pins a military term to the civilian language HR panels actually read.

Included
Microsoft · VMware · CompTIA certification roadmap

A 12–24 month sequenced path through the certs cleared-staffing firms and federal GS panels ask for, mapped against target GS grade and a 90-day exam window.

Who it’s for

You’re past the decision to leave. Time, format, and constraint.

E-5 to E-8

Platoon sergeants, section chiefs, senior NCOs — anyone who already owns scope, teams, and outcomes but needs the civilian language and a structured 90-day plan.

Signal / IT / comm

25-series MOS, network operations, SATCOM, NOC, COMSEC, spectrum — the work that translates cleanly into GS-2210 IT Specialist narratives on a USAJOBS submission.

6–12 month window

Already past the ETS decision but not yet inside the application sprint. Long enough to work through the eight weeks; short enough that the résumé needs to ship, not be redesigned from scratch.

Self-paced > live cohort

Either the founding cohort dates don’t line up with your ETS, or you learn better on your own clock. Same curriculum, same artifacts, your timeline.

Curriculum

One working artifact per week, for eight weeks.

The same eight-week program the cohort runs. Each week closes with a deliverable you can keep — résumés you can upload, a cert roadmap you can run, an offer letter you can read line-by-line, and a 90-day application plan that starts the morning after you finish.

  1. Week 01
    Inventory your uniform record

    Translate MOS, NCOERs, and signal-section assignments into the categories a federal HR specialist reads on a USAJOBS submission.

    Artifact

    A working MOS-to-GS-2210 inventory you can hand to a recruiter the same week.

  2. Week 02
    Federal-language fundamentals

    Read GS-grade, series, and qualification language the way a USAJOBS HR specialist reads it — and stop mixing contractor jargon with federal jargon.

    Artifact

    An annotated sample USAJOBS announcement you can decoded yourself.

  3. Week 03
    Specialized résumé templates

    Write the federal, defense-prime, and cleared-staffing résumés from the same underlying record — three formats, one source of truth, no contradictions.

    Artifact

    Three résumé variants keyed to the same underlying record.

  4. Week 04
    Certification sequencing

    Sequence Microsoft, VMware, and CompTIA in the order that matches your target GS grade and the 90-day application sprint — not the order a vendor sells.

    Artifact

    A cert priority table mapped to your target GS grade.

  5. Week 05
    GS-grade + locality-pay comparison

    Read a GS offer letter and a contractor offer letter side by side without missing FEHB, FEGLI, step-increase, or leave-accrual rules.

    Artifact

    A side-by-side GS / contractor benefits comparison.

  6. Week 06
    Federal + technical interview prep

    Walk through the federal panel and cleared technical panel question bank, including how to talk about clearances without over-disclosing.

    Artifact

    A documented mock-interview feedback sheet you can run solo.

  7. Week 07
    Veterans' preference + cleared pipelines

    Set your USAJOBS veterans' preference scoring strategy and activate recruiter intros to the cleared-staffing firms and federal IT hiring programs.

    Artifact

    A cleared-staffing recruiter shortlist and a USAJOBS preference strategy.

  8. Week 08
    Your 90-day application plan

    Lay out a week-by-week federal and defense-contractor application sprint you can run the morning after the course ends.

    Artifact

    A 90-day application sprint calendar with USAJOBS / USA Staffing queues.

Cohort vs. self-paced

Same curriculum. Different cadence.

The cohort adds live coaching and a founding-member seat with direct recruiter intros — but the underlying artifacts are identical. Pick the format that matches your timeline.

Why one bundle

The five pieces together are the curriculum.

You can buy the résumé templates or the worksheet on their own, but the curriculum plugs them into a sequence. The bundle is the sequence.
