About Scott Vedder

Author - Recruiter - Speaker - Funny Guy I help people, especially military veterans, find success in their careers. Leadership Training, Coaching, and Talent Development: • Represent the Disney brand as a facilitator, trainer, keynote speaker, content developer and consultant for leaders at high profile clients including healthcare, automotive, banking, pro sports teams, government agencies, and more. • Invited to the White House by the Office of First Lady Michelle Obama and to the Pentagon as a career transition expert; facilitated career transition workshops in the White House Military Office. • Conducted career transition engagements; created compelling narratives for vets as a transition service provider to leading non-profit organization clients. • Delivered presentations for Duke University, UCF, FAMU College of Law, US Navy Reserve, Department of Veteran Affairs, and others with audiences up to 1,500. Customer Experience (CX) and Employee Experience (EX) Collaboration and Innovation: • Developed strategies for retail training which drove conversion from 5% to 19%; each PPT valued multimillion dollars. • Dramatically improved service at 8 fitness centers by redesigning on-the-job training and operating guides. • Managed $2.3M training program, labor, and auditing budget to deploy leadership and service enhancements at 20+ hotels; established metrics to measure success via secret shoppers and drove a significant lift in guest satisfaction. The most rewarding part of my job is helping veterans, transitioning service members, military spouses, and job seekers worldwide to showcase the best skills and experiences they bring to an organization. I’ve twice been invited to the White House, to the Pentagon, the Army War College, and many events nationwide to do just that. I also serve as a résumé and interview expert for a number of veteran service organizations to help guide transitioning service members and vets on their career transitions. I'm the proud author of Signs of a Great Résumé, an Amazon.com #1 best-seller and Signs of a Great Résumé: Veterans Edition. I enjoy teaching how to write a résumé that speaks for itself! Ask me why your résumé should be full of!@#$%. I'm available for virtual learning and nationwide travel for speaking engagements, guest lectures, media interviews, to speak on or to moderate panel discussions, and career transition workshops.
