Active Duty Military Spouse

Marine Corps Active Duty Military Spouse, Danielle Valadez, RN says

Bryan “Gunny” has been so helpful in assisting me as an active duty military spouse with finding a job. He started with giving me some suggestions about how to better my resume. He then taught me how to navigate the NEOVETS website and which links to use to find a job in my career path. Once I applied to a job from the website, he put me in touch with someone who worked for the Cleveland Clinic. I was informed of what to expect and had all my questions answered along the way.

Job seeking can be a long process so while I was waiting to hear back from the Cleveland Clinic, Bryan continued to help me search for work. He would suggest different job opportunities and connect me with leads outside of the NEOVETS network. He gave me different suggestions on how to network and build a LinkedIn profile. Always very professional and quick to respond. I am so thankful to have this resource being a Marine Corps Active Duty Military Spouse who must move and get a new job every few years. You should schedule a call with Gunny McGown by clicking here.

Moving to a new location, especially where no major military presence exists, can cause an added strain to a job search. It’s good to know that there are free resources in Northeast Ohio where military families can get the free help they need! I’m hoping to obtain my Bachelor of Science in Nursing soon to further expand my opportunities, and Gunny will be recommending connections through the NEOVETS College Collaborative with the Cuyahoga Community College.

I highly recommend the services of GunnyRet Consulting for military spouses, or service members looking for work, higher education, or other supportive service referrals!

John Gallagher – HR Manager

I just recently worked with Bryan to place one of his referrals at our business. Bryan is extremely knowledgeable of military and civilian culture and job placement. He takes the extra time necessary to understand your business and the needs of the position and likewise he spends a considerable amount of time with candidates to understand their backgrounds, skills, needs and desires. Matching up military skill sets with civilian jobs is tricky business and you need someone in your corner that understands both. Highly recommended.

Recently Transitioned Marine Corps Veteran – Maintenance Service Operator- Timken

Wonderful service! I was completely lost in my transition period from the military to civilian life. Mr. McGown helped me to feel more at ease with the process and even with all the things I didn’t think of. With his resume template and guidance, I was able to begin getting reasonable job offers from my home of record. I would recommend his service to any veteran who is transitioning to civilian life. He made it a much smoother process and took a lot of the stress and anxiety out of fear of the unknown. I believe I have made life long connections through his service and look forward to more interactions in the future!

Wingman Gunny McGown

“You don’t need to go through this transition alone. GunnyRet Consulting is there to inspire, coach, provide resources, and assist in developing a strategy to reach your goals. There will be challenges in this journey and to have a wingman like Bryan McGown can make it easier to achieve. Bryan is a true leader in pushing you to expand and evaluate what is working or explore areas to improve on to get the results you desire. He offers a real conversation to build a rapport, listens, understands the frustration, and motivates you to go the extra mile. To get the most out of his services you need to be flexible, take the initiative to follow his advice, and determination to follow-through. I am thankful for fellow servicemen like Bryan and he had my back when I needed it. I highly recommend his services as we all need a wingman!”

This quote reminds me of Bryan:

“The wingman is absolutely indispensable. I look after the wingman. The wingman looks after me. It’s another set of eyes protecting you. That the defensive part. Offensively, it gives you a lot more firepower. We work together. We fight together. The wingman knows what his responsibilities are, and knows what mine are. Wars are not won by individuals. They’re won by teams.”
