Hi, Iām Bernardo Machain.
I am a retired Army Chief Warrant Officer 3 with a diverse military background spanning various roles from team leader to company commander and later, a subject matter expert for one of the Combined Joint Task Forces in Afghanistan. My career has been marked by four combat deployments and several overseas tours.
I began my military journey as an enlisted supply specialist then sergeant before transitioning to human intelligence. Throughout my career, I've had the honor of serving in a wide range of units, including infantry, aviation, intelligence, as well as supporting special forces and the Defense Intelligence Agency. I've experienced the military from line unit to division, at every echelon of command.
In the civilian sector, I've transitioned into talent acquisition, where I've spent the last eight years. During this time, I've worked at various levels from individual contributor to director, across small to large companies, including contracts with industry giants like Apple, Google, and Netflix. My passion lies in assisting veterans not just in finding jobs, but in building fulfilling careers.
I hold a bachelor's degree in international relations and business, as well as a master's degree in business administration. I am eager to leverage my experience and knowledge to help you transition from your military career to a rewarding civilian career, or to support your professional growth.
My Approach
My approach begins with a comprehensive intake process to get to know you as an individual. We'll take inventory of your skills and abilities, and if you don't have a clear career path in mind yet, that's perfectly okay ā that's what I'm here for. Together, we'll craft a master resume, and I'll teach you how to tailor it for different job opportunities. Our focus will then shift to your job search, honing your interview techniques, navigating salary negotiations, and ensuring a smooth onboarding process with clear expectation setting. Our journey will be a partnership every step of the way.
Dream it
You don't have to settle for just any job. You deserve your dream career, and it's within reach with dedication, hard work, focus, and the right guidance. I would be honored to be your coach and guide as you embark on the path to the career you've always dreamed of.
Build it
Building a career is much like constructing a house: it requires a solid foundation. The stronger your foundation, the more resilient your career will be. But it's not just about the base; it's about constructing it piece by piece, section by section. As you grow and take ownership of your career path, I will be the architect guiding you, helping you build the career you've always dreamed of.
