Hired at major metropolitan fire departments across the U.S. and Canada.
Looking back now on my original resume, it just wouldn’t stand a chance against my new resume in the hiring pool. I’m literally a different candidate the way I’ve translated my background better.
FirePath really helped put things into perspective on skills I actually have in my background. I just didn’t think to or know how to include them in my resume. Once it was all laid out in front of me a switch flipped.
FirePath is like a resume tutor for a fraction of the price. Absolutely incredible.
