Success Stories
“Scott is AMAZING!
I've had the privilege to go through multiple courses that Scott has designed and instructed. He is passionate, well spoken, knowledgeable, willing to go the extra mile helping people, and oh, did I mention passionate.
He brings in experts from a wide range of fields, he gives all of the tools available to transitioning members, and provides us with all of the capabilities for fulfilling our lives after we transition from military life.
Scott, thank you for everything that you've done for me personally and for everything that you have done and continue to do for the thousands of military personnel that you influence.”

“Scott has taken me under his wing and I will forever be grateful. He has a heart for helping others and it resonates in every thing that he does.
Scott is the cheerleader that pats you on the back for trying something new or making proactive changes. He is thoughtful in his responses as a mentor and coach.
Scott is the fact-checker. He will be meticulous about his advice to you making sure that what he says is accurate and effective. He prides himself on a job well done and that’s apparent in the quality of his work and in the massive amount of work that he takes on himself.
Scott is the role model. He leads by example and shows proven techniques, making learning from him easier and more comfortable. He will go above and beyond to give you step-by-step instructions or feedback - always tailoring his messaging to be positive and encouraging.
The world would be a better, and more productive, place if there were more people like Scott in it. I recommend him for any and all coaching to anyone looking to transition. You will be so blessed with a friend genuinely interested in helping you succeed in every way. ”

“I have spoken with Scott as a mentee a couple of times now, and each time have left with resources I didn't have but needed. I didn't even know I needed them! He even was able to help me sort out which positions mesh best with what I love, and he was completely correct. Thank you Scott for all of your valuable help (and patience!) as I navigate through this employment search experience.”

“I want to thank Scott for hosting a 2 hour Virtual LinkedIn Hands-on workshop for my work center. We all learned a lot and I for sure plan on leveraging the training to make big changes to my profile over the coming days. If you are looking to leverage your personal brand, improve your LinkedIn profile, resume writing, or interested in other valuable workshops highly encourage you to reach out to Scott and connect with him.”

“Scott was MONUMENTAL to my success in finding a position after losing my job to COVID-19.
He, specifically, was responsible for the marketability of my Resume, as he coached me through different ways to organize my skills in a way that would "catch their eye," and helped me condense much of my unnecessary content in order to highlight the truly impressive aspects of my employment history.
Scott was also my first call when I had received THREE job offers, and I needed help approaching the subject of salary negotiations. Scott made himself available later that same day, and helped me structure my proposal in such a way that I could present it professionally, and with confidence.
I would highly recommend that you utilize Scott for any career searching guidance that you may need!”

“Scott has been incredibly helpful during this transition to our new duty station and re-entering the workforce after maternity leave. His advise, support, and encouragement has greatly supported my efforts to enter the workforce in Illinois. I would refer anyone and everyone to him for guidance. He is a wonderful asset to this community!”

“If you are looking for someone to help launch, enhance, or improve your LinkedIn profile, Scott is the guy. He is amazing at helping military members navigate through the transition process, translating their vital skills into marketable, relatable, and understandable by the civilian workforce. Highly recommend taking his courses on LinkedIn, resume writing, and others. He continually seeks out ways to help, such as reverse career fairs, profile reviews, etc. ”

“When asked where I began my military to corporate transition journey, my resume, and most importantly the start of my LinkedIn profile...I always mention and highly recommend taking Scott's class. A true professional who cares about each service member who is taking that next step. His knowledge, skills, and ability are truly some of the best I've experienced along my retirement path. Thanks Scott!”

“Scott Raether is a excellent career facilitator. I recently took his Linkedin class. It was a very informative class that provided a step by step instruction on how to market yourself through Linkedin. Since I attended his class my Linkedin network has increased and I got several job offers within a week of my profile update.
Thank you Scott for your selfless dedication, service and advice you have provided me and many other transitioning service members, civilians and dependants.”

“I am writing this to give my highest possible recommendation to Scott for providing resume and cover letter services. Earlier this year- I chatted with Scott via LinkedIn about the current job situation I was in and I expressed to him I was ready to take the next step in my career! I wanted a senior position, and I felt I deserved it, but I was submitting applications to 20 jobs a week and hearing nothing back, which was so frustrating with my extensive marketing background! I sent Scott everything I had done at this point in my career and my current resume I was sending out in hopes he could tell me why I wasn't getting to that next level! Scott immediately knew what my resume was missing! After just a few weeks of working together via phone and email he crafted a stellar resume and cover letter for me to take out into the job market! My call back rate on manger-senior level applications I submitted went from 1/10 to 6/10. I was offered a Senior position at a large advertising agency with an 80% PAY INCREASE in 3 months time using the resume and cover letter Scott helped me craft. Not only did Scott's services help me reach my goal-he is always available as a reference and for advice (including how to make you stand out online in your current position)! If you are stuck in your current career--please message Scott to help you get started in the right direction!”

“I firmly endorse Scott as a military transition and LinkedIn expert. Leveraging his own active duty experience and counseling background, he has connected me with various resources to assist me with career insights, pre-separation administration, and preparation to my next career/life. I extend to him my personal thanks and sincere appreciation in motivating and preparing me for my next life endeavors.”

“Scott stayed late at work to look over my resume when I was going through the Military Transition Assistance Program. With no advanced notice, he made important corrections and shared valuable insights on what I should and shouldn't include on my resume. I will always appreciate the time he took to help me out. Thank you Scott!”

“I am very fortunate to have had Scott working with me as I transitioned from the military. He worked extremely hard to make sure I had everything I needed to make the successful transition to civilian life. He personally met with me to assist in writing my resume and shared job searching advice. He is also a great connection on LinkedIn and put me in contact with some awesome people. I start my new career 2 days after I separate from the military and believe Scott had a major influence in me landing a job so quickly. I highly recommend taking his workshops and classes if you are looking to separate from the military or if you are just trying broaden your professional skills”

“Scott is an All-Star and a huge reason why so many Service Members (and their families) at Scott AFB successfully transition into the civilian sector!!! His ability to understand Service Members KSA’s and connect them with opportunities on the “outside” is one of the biggest factors why I believe the Airmen & Family Readiness Center at Scott AFB is the best in the Department of Defense!”
