"You never get a second chance to make a good first impression."

“The resume that you've given me has proved to be great as I've been getting more responses including complements from HR personnel from several companies. Thank you very much again for everything I really appreciate it. The support, and service you provide to us veterans and those of us transiting out the military unparalleled and first in its kind.”  CPO Julio S.  -2016

The Who:

Founders ~Ryan and Abby Berg.

I am a U.S. Navy Veteran. I know first-hand the challenges one faces during the reintegration from military to civilian life. Working dead end, low wage jobs, I struggled for years to communicate my education and skills gained during my time in the service. I didn’t know how to write a resume. I didn’t know what my skills were, or how to translate them to civilian workforce language. What was considered classified information? Where did I fit in? I also didn’t know that some, if not all, of the schooling and training received during military service could transfer to civilian college credits. I now know that some companies would have regarded my military career as on the job training. Abby studied business and accounting in school and offered to write my resume. Success! I got a better job. She suggested we offer to write resumes for all Veterans, at no charge. Mid 2015 Write on Top (formerly Carry On Resumes) was born. I married her!  ;)  We feel very passionate about serving our Veterans, men and women who have put their lives on the line for this great country we call home. We consider it a great honor to be in this position. In 2020, due to the demand created by Covid-19, we added civilian resumes and business support to our menu of services.

​

Our Why:

Veteran Resumes:  The reintegration process has many overwhelming stressors; obtaining a home and vehicle, locating a school for the kids, finding insurance, establishing credit, securing a job that will support a family and restore one’s personal purpose just to name a few. A successful reintegration, from military life to civilian, begins with securing employment that is both meaningful and financially sustaining. Relieving the time consuming, stressful task of composing a strong resume is how Write on Top will remove one of these stressors, while showing our Veterans that we have their backs. We know Write on Top will serve and support many deserving United States Military Veterans.  A professional, military to civilian translated resume is an essential tool in obtaining gainful employment. The members of our Armed Forces and their families make great sacrifices in the service of our Nation, and when their service is concluded, we owe it to our Veterans and their families to help them accomplish a successful transition to the civilian labor market. 

Civilian Resumes:  In spring of 2020, due to the rate of unemployment created by Covid-19, we added civilian resumes to our menu of services. Civilian resumes are quite simple when compared to a Veteran resume. Our research into the translation of skills, education and experience of military service is extensive. We are able to use those same research and translation skills to convey a civilian's transferable skills as personal assets. 

It is one of our greatest moments when we hear, "I got the interview!".

Business Support:  It may seem strange to many, but we really do enjoy proofreading, editing, and copy-writing.    Little typos can drive us just nuts! It's a gift and a curse to notice every mistake in a book, newsletter, email, and so on. Let us know how we can assist you in creating the perfect, professional copy.
