About Mary Jo Sweeney

I’m enjoying myself consulting in my top veteran-military interest areas, as well as doing pro bono work in those areas - primarily in Career Transition, Corporate Sponsorship and Board work. I am keeping a promise to myself made years ago to work in roles serving the military and veterans, particularly in career transition and military market engagement, as a capstone to my career centered around servant leadership. I offer- Deep experience in engaging with military members, veterans and their families, and military/veteran organizations, particularly in the fields of military market engagement and brand awareness- Knowledge of Federal regulations regarding personal commercial solicitation and military installation commercial sponsorship, marketing contracts, face-to-face event marketing, social media- Proven skills in seeking and developing strategic corporate non-profit partnerships and affinity relationships, and business development through a broad and deep network- Strategic connections throughout the military, veteran organizations, VSO non-profits, military spouse groups, career transition organizations, veteran recruiters- Personal commitment to, and passion for, mentoring transitioning veterans and military spouses- Newly-found latent ability to use years of leadership, hiring experience, team member development and professional business writing in advanced editing and writing of SES Executive Core Qualifications narratives and private sector executive resumes- Executive leadership and coaching expertise grounded in my Navy career and corporate business experience in Marketing and Military Affairs with financial services providers who serve the military. Interested in me writing/editing your private sector resume or SES ECQs or TQs? I do all that via contract with Federal Job Results, a firm committed to client satisfaction. I am also a mentor with Veterati My favorite leadership quote, which has informed my commitment to servant leadership over the years:\"Fail to honor people, they will fail to honor you. Of a good leader, when his (her!)(their!) work is done, who talks little, her aims fulfilled, they will all say \'We did this ourselves.\'\"- Lao Tzu
