Your service,
translated.
You already have the record — a DD-214, an old résumé, a LinkedIn profile that undersells you. We turn what you have into one page a civilian hiring manager actually reads: your service and your work, stated plainly, built to print. Free for every veteran.
Your files stay yours
A résumé is a service record. Most of yours never made it onto paper.
Military experience gets flattened by civilian résumé templates: the rank means nothing to an ATS filter, the real responsibility hides behind an acronym, and twenty years of work gets squeezed into bullets that read like everyone else's. The fix isn't a prettier template. It's translation — someone reading your actual record and stating what you did in language a hiring manager weighs.
That's what this service does. It's the first working piece of Shadowbox: the same idea — your record, assembled and put to work for you — applied to the document you need this month, not at launch.
Three moves. You approve everything.
Send what you have.
A LinkedIn export is the best single starting file, and anything else helps: an old résumé, certificates, a bio someone once wrote about you. Rough is fine — that's the point.
Your DD-214 is the gold source for the service section — rank, dates, specialty, decorations, all official. We treat it like what it is: it's read on our own machines, the details we need are pulled from it, and the document itself is never published and never kept. Black out your SSN before you send it — we don't need it.
LinkedIn → your profile → "More" → "Save to PDF"We read it, then we talk.
We build a draft profile from your files and mark what's missing. A short conversation fills the gaps — what you want a reader to remember, which jobs matter, what to cut. Nothing is ever invented: if we don't have a fact from you, it doesn't go on the page.
You get the page.
One page, built to print — clean PDF plus the source file, yours to keep and edit. Your service stated with the same precision as your civilian work, and a number on every line the truth allows. Want it on the web too? See the hosted edition below — built by us, owned by you.
One page on paper. One address on the web.
In a job search, a link beats an attachment. If you want it, we build the web version of your résumé too — the same page, live at an address you can put in an email signature or a LinkedIn bio.
Here's the part that matters: we don't host it — you do. We build the site and hand you a claim link; you claim it with your email and from that moment it lives in your own account at here.now, permanently. Your address, your access settings — keep it public, put a password on it, or share it only with recruiters you choose. Want your own domain later? That's a setting in your account, and we'll walk you through it, along with edits and anything else. We manage nothing and hold nothing. Same rule as everything Shadowbox builds.
Free means free. Yours means yours.
This runs on our own infrastructure, on our own time, under the same custody ethos as everything Shadowbox builds. Your files exist to build your résumé and for nothing else.
