To Us, it's Personal
Sheepdog respects, supports, and understands LEOs
because we are a LEO family.
We founded Sheepdog 10 years ago to assist our blue family in their transition from law enforcement into their next chapter. It quickly grew to include LEOs, military members, corrections officers, dispatchers, and firefighters. We are honored to work with all first responders.
We are a retired Washington State Patrol Sergeant, and a former network news journalist. Together we are subject matter experts in translating your law enforcement experience and skill set into the business language needed for you to compete in the job market. Your skills and experience are valuable. Our purpose is to assist you to know this, and prepare you to move forward into another meaningful career or promote within your agency.
Resume Services
Your resume needs to be more than your career history.
It needs to show more than tell.
A resume that lists your job titles and work dates will not get you through the Applicant Tracking System onto a human. Your resume needs to have keywords that are tailored to the job announcement. We regularly talk with hiring managers and recruiters who tell us what they want in a resume from law enforcement officers. We know how to translate police language and job duties into actionable expertise and achievements that show the value and contributions you can bring to an employer.
Sheepdog has two tiers of service to meet different needs. Tier One includes your resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile. We write one resume, one general cover letter, and either create or update your LinkedIn. Clients who choose this tier need a resume for a promotion opportunity, or are applying to one specific job.
Tier Two is an unlimited number of resume revisions and cover letter revisions. This means we write and edit your resume and cover letter with the right keywords and tone to fit each position you apply to. There's no limit to the number of revised versions. It's open-ended, we are here when you need us. Clients who choose this want to apply to many positions, or don't have an exact plan for their next step.
