I am a Marine Corps Veteran that served with First Battalion First Marines and First Reconnaisance Battalion from 1990 to 1994 at Camp Pendleton CA. I deployed for Operations Desert Shield/Storm, West Pac 1992, and West Pac 1993/94. During West Pac 1993/94 my MEU-SOC was assigned to Operations Continue Hope, Show Care and More Care in Somalia. The highest rank I achieved was Corporal. I first contacted Joy October 15, 2009 for career coaching. Since then Joy has helped me with my resume, invited me to attend networking events and introduced many other people to set up mutually beneficial business relationships. After Joy found out my background as a CPA and got to know me, she asked me to serve ReBoot Camp as Director of Finance and as her personal CPA. I am looking forward to working with Joy on ReBoot Camp and serving other veterans. Joy is an expert career coach and veteran advocate who truly cares for those currenty serving and those who have served. I have never known anyone who is more knowledgeable about resume writing and the employment process in general. I highly recommend her as a career coach and for positions of veterans advocacy. Dan Longnecker, USMC
Joy was truly an inspirational person and helped me immensely during the difficult transition from military to civilian life. With her help I was able to build an effective network and market myself and my skill set to the technology world. As a constant source of motivation and support, she helped me through the more difficult and often unknown parts of the transition process. Large parts of my present success can be directly attributed to the advice, coaching and mentoring I received from Joy. Steve Sanchez, Combat Engineer, US Army
I met Joy as a frustrated Marine retiree who was terrified of the word resume. After 21+ years in the Marine Corps, I had never had to "sell" myself to a future employer. Joy's relentless patience & guidance helped me produce a master resume of which we are both proud. Although not a veteran herself, Joy understands the sacrifice every servicemember endures and is completely dedicated to helping veterans reconnect to their civilian life after having served in the military. BEWARE, once you have solicited Joy's assistance, Joy will search every nook & cranny to ensure you are provided with information to reconnect. Her service is completely free to veterans and no one is under any obligation to attend metings. I highly recommend & whole heartedly endorse Joy Montgomery for the much needed service she provides to veterans. Hyacinth McNevin, USMC
I know Joy from Toastmasters when I was searching for work after getting out of the Army in 1994. She helped me "civilianize" my resume explaining that for corporate America, "company executive officer" meant something completely different from its military title. Dwight Weese, Army Veteran
I am extremely grateful for everything that you have done for me. I can't thank you enough. You have given me your time and more help than any other job seeking service and I will always remember & appreciate that. Jeff DiLandro, Coast Guard Veteran
Joy Montgomery has been an ally and great support for a long time! As a former US Marine Air reservist, I appreciate her strong interest to help members of our military with job search. Recently, she helped me to help provide a 'new look' to my resume based on themes taken from excerpts in her recent book on the subject, "Hand it to 'Em on a Platter - 7 Steps to a successful Resume". I heartily recommend Joy Montgomery! David Fisher, former US Marine Air Reservist
Joy:
Your philosophy of job searching was correct. I know of a firm here in San Antonio, that cost people hundreds of dollars for the same thing you did for me. Since launching the resumes to the Internet, I had one job fair and four interviews a week until I settled on the one company that I thought would meet my family's needs and have an acceptable work schedule. God bless. CH Buell, US Army Reserve Chaplain
