Here's a simple question for you:

"Do You Want A Civvy Street Job Offer When You Get Out?"

If your answer is "Yes", and you take my advice, you could even get an offer before you finish, i.e. before your last military salary payment goes into the bank!


From: Stephen Thompson (Company Director, Ex-Army WO1), Huddersfield, UK

Dear Colleague,

If you really want to get that Job Offer from 'Civvy Street', maybe even before you leave the Armed Forces . . . then this is going to be the most exciting message you'll ever read!

Here's why:

There's an amazing new Career Transition Product called the "Armed Forces CV". It's written specifically - by an ex-military Expert - to enable you to 'get your foot in the door' with a civilian employer, and at the same time gain a significant advantage over competing civilian applicants.

Imagine being able to move seamlessly into civilian life, without taking a drop in pay, or worse, having to scramble around to get a good civilian job. Wouldn't that be great?

Or what if you could slip quietly, covertly, into 'Civvy Street' as if nothing had happened, and simply crack straight on with your new life as a civilian? How would it feel if you could do this?

Imagine being able to just get on with your resettlement and training package, without having to rely on the 'system', or worry about getting a civilian job at the end of it. It truly is possible, but you need to know how.

That's what this brand new CV Package could help you to do.

And it's not like any other CV Package you've ever seen. It WILL get civilian employment lined up for you. And if you start the process early enough you could have a job to go to before you even leave the Military!

Why?

Simply because every part of the Package and our service has been carefully and painstakingly researched, and accurately targeted. The result, The Armed Forces CV, is there because 'you asked for it.' Well, not 'you' really, but built from the answers from people just like you to real live questions. Questions from people who have already been through the 'mil-to-civvy' transition, have since got into civilian employment, and with our help have easily left the competition for dead.

A simple web page was set up last year, and people in your situation, about to leave the Services, visited it and left me their most pressing questions, challenges and fears about moving into 'Civvy Street', of getting an interview with a civilian employer, and being able to compete on a 'level playing field' with similarly-qualified civilians.

I personally analysed the questions, using my 15-plus years of professional experience and hard-won expertise, and answered them! Then I ran them past my clients, civilian and military, and my 'team' of writers and in-house experts. Finally, I went out to the industry and got the opinions of other CV and Career Change Experts. 

If you know me, that meant no fluff or B.S. - I always 'tell it like it is', no punches pulled. Just the real answers you wanted to know.

The Armed Forces CV was designed to address every single point, and to incorporate every single identified facet. I can honestly say that the resultant product and service meets or exceeds specification in every respect.

Here's a sneak peek at the 'stealth' solutions we've built into our process as a result of your answers, and what now goes into every Armed Forces CV:
  • How to ensure YOUR CV is the one the employer reads first
  • 3 simple ways to make sure you get an interview every time you send out your CV
  • The little-known way to make sure 'Joe (or Jane) Civvy' doesn't get in there first
  • 5 proven steps to beating the competition - hands down
  • 2 simple keys to get job offers coming out of your ears
  • AMAZING! We have effectively 'written the book' on how to translate your military skills into 'civilianese', so it's all in the CV
  • 4 proven strategies for getting employers to consider you before the rest
  • 7 insider tips and tricks for opening the 'doors of opportunity'
  • A dirt-cheap way to separate your CV from the pile sitting on the prospective employer's desk
  • A free and easy way to slam the other 250-plus applications he has received, taking them completely out of the equation
  •  Have you been looking for this for ages? We KNOW how to write your USP (Unique Selling Proposition) so that it is YOU the employer 'buys' and puts at the top of their list
  • How to blast past even the well-qualified civilians that are your direct competitors
  • REVEALED! The hidden truth behind translating military skills and terminology, or jargon, into 'Civvy-Speak'
  • The secret weapon for making your military career a huge positive for a civilian employer


And that's just a fraction of what we incorporate into your Armed Forces CV. All these unique and 'secret' techniques are built into it - you don't even need to think about them! That's why you should get it today (in fact, you can be reading our Exclusive Career Development Questionnaire in as little as 5 minutes from now!). 

 

(All you need is a credit card, no special internet accounts or anything like that. And it's totally secure. Your credit card data is passed directly to the bank and no one but the bank has access to your sensitive information.)

What's a resource like this worth?

To have someone do all this research for you, or acquire the expertise yourself, would cost you a minimum of £35,000 (I should know, that's what it has cost me!). Particularly the laser-guided, pin-point accurate, techniques and methodologies I use - SPECIFICALLY for 'getting your foot in the door' with a civilian employer, and gaining for YOU a real and distinct advantage over competing civilian applicants.

This isn't some 'spray-on' collection of commonplace or everyday pieces of publicly-available information - this is crucial, specialist, insider knowledge of the marketplace, and breakthrough techniques that have taken me a pretty tough 15 years to acquire.

Everything is done for you, so that you don't even have to think about the process. The Career Development Questionnaire, which forms the backbone of our service delivery to you, explains everything in PLAIN English. Which means it's dead-easy to read, understand, and complete. And it's logically laid out.

Which is why the Armed Forces CV is such a bargain at only £154.97.

We've just finished re-costing the product and taken your valuable recent feedback on board. As a result we have SLASHED a MASSIVE £50 (25%) off the price (it was £194.97 until the end of June), to just £154.97. Plus we've absorbed the VAT element too, saving you another £34.12.

So £154.97 is ALL you pay - in total!

That's right, a fraction of what it's really worth, or what it has cost me to research and build our unique interview-winning process.

Why would I make it so affordable? Because as an ex-soldier myself with over 20 years' exemplary Regular service, plus a couple of years with the TA behind me, I know how difficult it is to make the change. When I left the Army there just wasn't a service like this available - not anywhere. The Resettlement people did their best, but frankly just weren't up to the job. Not entirely their fault - the CV market is too volatile and specialised, and its secrets are jealously protected.

I also know, that as an ex-infantry Warrant Officer (WO1), I am privileged to be uniquely placed to cater for this particular market. I know the language and the marketplace, and understand how to translate your military skills, ranks, appointments and jargon into 'Civvy-Speak'. I make it easy for civilians to understand what you are all about.  This is key; absolutely vital (check out the TRUTH About Your CV! later to find out why).

On the 'Civvy-Net' I have been writing CV's for company directors, managers and other professional 'high flyers' through my company - Top Professional Resumes Limited - for more than 13 years. Despite this I only recently realised what a massive need there was for a bespoke product for people leaving the Armed Forces. I should have picked it up much earlier, really.

You get exactly the same level of service and product as my Top Pro Clients (who actually do pay £194.97), including a one-hour telephone consultation with me personally, but you pay £50 less because of my specialist background knowledge . . . . plus I write all Armed Forces CV's myself. This means I don't pass the premium rates I would otherwise need to charge, to cover my freelance writers' fees, on to you.

Our unique Career Development Questionnaire, which has been cleverly-designed to double as interview preparation, can be downloaded to your computer in a flash. Which means you can be reading it and beginning your civilianisation process in as little as 5 minutes from now.

No matter what, however, The Armed Forces CV is an absolute bargain for you.

And yes, I am already being pressured by my Financial Director to raise the price again from £154.97 to at least its previous level of £194.97 very soon. He has pointed out, probably quite correctly, that at this price it won't be long before I simply won't be able to cope personally with the volume, and will therefore have to recruit another ex-military writer to take up the overspill. That will of course mean additional overhead expense.

Once I get a few more testimonials from satisfied military clients, and the volume picks up, the price will have to increase. So you'll want to be quick if you want to save some money.


£154.97 is a drop in the ocean compared to the results you will get with the Armed Forces CV.

And don't worry, if for any reason you're not happy with the content, you have a complete guarantee to protect your investment:


 

100% RISK-FREE GUARANTEE

Look, you're my customer. And if you're not happy, it reflects badly on me. I have a well-established reputation, and you know how word travels within the Services community! So if you're not happy with your Armed Forces CV, and it doesn't get you the interviews you want, just fire off an email to me and I'll happily rework or rewrite the CV until it does!

 

OK? So you really can't lose!

That's about as fair as it gets, don't you agree?

Right then - let me tell you what else I'll do to make this absolutely the best investment you'll ever make.

I'm going to 'throw in' some free bonuses that are literally worth more in real terms than the CV Package itself!

Simply grab your Armed Forces CV right now, and here's what I'll also give you:

FREE BONUS NO 1:

Tightly-focused, personalised and targeted Cover Letter (worth at least £25)

This amazing bonus is all about actually getting your Armed Forces CV opened and read. 


I can't stress how important the 'humble' Cover Letter is - I'm actually writing a book on the subject at the moment. Send your CV in without one, or write it badly, and your CV will never see the light of day. Fact.

When you identify a position you want to apply for, just send us the details and we will write you a personalised Cover Letter, to exactly match your CV, to GUARANTEE it gets read!

Once you get it, the Cover Letter will also show you:

 

  • How to give yourself a huge and unbeatable advantage
  • How to specifically tie the employer's 'key frustrations' to your skill-set, making you the 'must have' new employee to solve her problems
  • How to identify and isolate those critical success factors from the vacancy ad, so that you can instantly position yourself as the'Product of Choice'. Not bad, right? But that's not all you get! Because I'm also throwing in:

FREE BONUS NO 2:

Interview Follow-up Letter (worth a minimum of £18)

Are you beginning to see how valuable this package is? This bonus alone gives you the edge over all those other interviewees, who simply won't bother to write this important relationship-creating masterpiece. They won't even think about it!

 

Here's what it reveals:

 

  • How to align the points you discussed with your interviewer to make him subconsciously choose you over the competition
  • How to create that critical rapport with the interviewer after the event, when he is already starting to forget your face and those of the other interviewees. How do you think it will impact on your chances of selection when he receives a polite and very relevant 'Thank you' letter from you?
  • How to reinforce your relationship and leave a fresh, lasting impression. You can bet that none of the other candidates have done this. Puts you streets ahead!

Imagine how you'd feel if you knew these things! YOURS FREE when you order the Armed Forces CV. You are reading this, aren't you?

Well the good news is, that's still not all! Because I have yet another gift for you.

FREE BONUS NO 3:

CD-ROM with your Armed Forces CV in 4 digital formats (normally £17 each, so a £68 value!)

In addition to the physical copies of your Armed Forces CV (in PDF - Portable Document Format), for perfect printing, copying and reproduction every time, and professionally bound for that extra presentational panache, you'll also receive it in 3 extra (editable) digital formats on CD-ROM.

Here's a short list of what this amazing bonus contains:

 

  • Word (.doc/docx) format that you can personally edit and tweak for maximum impact in the future if you wish, without coming back to us (saving you more money) or losing the winning language and format of the Armed Forces CV
  • HTML (Hyper-Text Markup Language), for posting onto websites, preserving the format, look, and feel of your physical Armed Forces CV. You could post it onto your own website, Facebook or Linked-In page, for example, as a permanent (and editable) online reference where you can send or point prospective employers and recruiters to.
  • ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange - text to you and I!). This is especially useful for 'copying and pasting' sections from your CV into online application forms, which many employers require these days. It contains all the information from your CV, even your address, telephone numbers and email. Saves you hours of hassle, as it has been stripped of all the formatting codes and fonts that are embedded in the Word version, for example, which makes it instantly usable.

FREE BONUS NO 4:

A copy of my acclaimed eBook "Breeze The Interview, Get The Job" (sells all day, every day for £27)

  • Once you've snagged the interview, the REAL work begins! Most people would rather recite poetry from memory live on National TV, or walk down their local High Street stark naked, than go through the vomit-inducing, gut-wrenching Hell of the dreaded Job Interview. My book will get you through the experience painlessly.
  • THIS BONUS ALONE is worth the investment; a massive 10mb of easily-digestible information and detailed preparation techniques to ensure the whole interview process goes smoothly. I sub-titled it 'Preparation on Steroids!'



Phew...that's some list of FREE Gifts, don't you think? A total of over £138 in bonuses!


They're each worth every penny. But today, they're yours FREE.

Congratulations!

I don't know how long I'll be able to keep these bonuses up there. It's part of another marketing test we're running. They're worth a lot, and we have previously charged extra for them, so at any time I could be persuaded by my Financial Director (he's a bit tougher than me, which is why I keep him on staff) to take them down forever. So if you want them, get in quick.

Tell you what - I'll even send the whole package out to you by Royal Mail Next Day Special Delivery! And I'll put it all in a strong board-backed envelope to protect the valuable contents without bending or folding - FREE OF CHARGE (worth another £8.95 altogether).

Listen, don't take my word for it on how great this package is. Listen to what people just like you have had to say about it. These are actual (and recent), genuine testimonials, and can be viewed at our premises by appointment:

 

"I would highly recommend Armed Forces CV's. The service was quick,and highly efficient. Despite being out of the country there was regular communication by emails through the whole process. I was sent a draft for which I asked for a few alterations to be made, and these were done straight away.

As I was away the completed CV was then sent through email in several different formats, and the whole excellent package was there waiting for me when I returned home.

I used the CV to approach several companies and was offered interviews straight away. This is a highly professional service and would highly recommend it to anyone."

Ex-Corporal, The Parachute Regiment, currently on an FCO Contract providing Close Protection in Kabul, Afghanistan

"Many thanks for your excellent service. Now convinced and very content with your product and output!"

Lieutenant Commander, Royal Navy

"Had tried to do my CV via the Career Transition Workshop but hadn't been getting past the first filter. It was suggested to use the Armed Forces CV advertised in Soldier Mag.

This is the first site I had used, as it was aimed at the Services. I cannot fault the service I have received, and the CV is very different to my attempt. It definitely does 'smack you in the face' and make you want to read on."

Staff Sergeant, Royal Military Police


As they say, the proof is in the pudding. And these people are more than happy. Just like you'll be.

You can't leave this page empty handed, can you?

For a mere £154.97, you're getting the Cutting-Edge CV you need . . . PLUS MUCH MORE.
 
Now, you can only get this product from me - we're the ONLY Specialist Military CV Writing Service in the UK. It's not available anywhere else, even on the web. Just imagine being able to get yourself started on this unique career transition package
