Ex-Military CV Writing
Translating your military experience into civilian career success
Common Military-to-Civilian CV Challenges I Solve
I understand these challenges — because I have lived them
✗ Military Jargon Overload
Terms like "SNCO", "JPA", or "Op Orders" mean nothing to civilian employers.
✓ The Fix
I translate military terminology into clear, impactful civilian language that demonstrates your value.
✗ Underselling Your Experience
Many veterans don't realise how impressive their achievements are in a civilian context.
✓ The Fix
I identify and amplify the accomplishments that will impress civilian recruiters and hiring managers.
✗ Gaps in Civilian Context
Employers may not understand the scope of your responsibilities or decision-making authority.
✓ The Fix
I provide context that helps employers grasp the scale and complexity of your military role.
✗ Generic Role Descriptions
Simply stating your rank and unit doesn't convey what you actually did or achieved.
✓ The Fix
I craft achievement-focused descriptions that showcase tangible results and leadership impact.

What Ex-Military Clients Say
Trusted by veterans across all branches of service
★★★★★
"After coming to the end of a full career in the British Army and looking onto new opportunities, I came across John's services. With his 5-star reviews and his previous Armed Forces experience, I was of no doubt he was the correct person to assist. John transformed my military skills and experience into civilian employment and provided a very high-standard CV, cover letters, and a fully developed LinkedIn profile. John explained the process throughout and was always on hand to answer any questions and ensure the documentation produced. I would 100% recommend John Logan to all especially service leavers."

"Highly recommend John for his exceptional CV writing and mentoring services. From the onset he took time to understand my background, strengths and career goals and transformed that in to a clear compelling CV that reflected who I am and what I offer. John was incredibly thorough, insightful and incredibly supportive, offering multiple drafts and phone calls to ensure my CV is the best it can be. I can't recommend him highly enough, especially for military service leavers to highlights your career strengths in a way that goes beyond what standard military services can offer."
