MEET YOUR CONSULTANT
Founder & Principal
Capitol Career Consulting
Returned Peace Corps volunteer.
Career guide. A believer in giving back.
Good guidance changed my career.
Now I help others find their way forward.
Chad founded Capitol Career Consulting in May 2021 to make thoughtful, practical career support more accessible. His work focuses on federal government careers and private-sector international development, with support for resumes, career strategy, networking, and interview preparation.
His approach grew out of his own experience navigating a career transition—and years of helping fellow returned Peace Corps volunteers pursue meaningful work in Washington, DC.
In 2011, after returning from Peace Corps service in Honduras, Chad was struggling to turn applications into opportunities. At the Peace Corps Career Center, career development specialist Jodi Hammer helped him improve his federal resume and navigate the search that led to his first FEMA role supporting long-term community recovery.
That experience stayed with him. In 2015, Chad became Professional Development Director for the Returned Peace Corps Volunteers of Washington, DC. He met with hundreds of returned volunteers, sharing what he had learned about federal hiring while learning from their experiences, too.
Over five years on the organization’s board, he also served as Mentoring Director, Development Director, and President. He founded Capitol Career Consulting to continue that work: helping people make sense of their options, communicate their strengths, and take practical steps toward their goals.
CLIENT EXPERIENCES
Clients share their experiences with career planning, resume development, and making a change.
Chad keenly listened to my situation and interest in a career transition, and skillfully laid out a development plan to help me zero in on my long-term career goals.
Chad’s advice helped me land my first Federal role and launch a new career.
His consultation provided a clear strategy and tips that were beyond my previous job search experience. A much-needed jump start to the process. I now have a solid path to follow.
His guidance through multiple interviews was invaluable and led to a great job offer in my field.
He also helped to revitalize my networking skills. As a former Peace Corps Volunteer, I am now reconnected to a powerful network of professionals who have been very helpful.
Chad was amazing! He completely revamped my resume and tailored it to the market sector I was pursuing. Fast, reliable and affordable!
When I returned to the USA after working overseas for eight years, it was Chad who helped build the blocks that led to my current career.
