“I was a communications officer in the Marine Corps who thought that the only jobs I could take were telecommunications related. Jim Lose helped me identify a few positions that were great matches for my experience and unique college degree. They helped me negotiate a salary that was far above what I thought was possible and took all the pain out of the job search process. However, the most impressive thing about the process was that they did all this in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. I was hired at a dream company in the middle of one of the worst job markets in American history — which shows their incredible professionalism and expertise. I would absolutely recommend Jim Lose and the LucasGroup team to any Marine Officers who are looking for the next opportunity after the Corps.”

“Separating from the service generates a lot of anxiety. First among my concerns was finding gainful employment. I had heard of Lucas Group, like many others, through their regular letters, which I had dismissed for years. While I was casting as wide a net as possible in my job search I thought it couldn’t hurt to give Lucas Group a shot. Within hours of expressing interest, Jim Lose called me and got to work right away. He took the time to understand what I was looking for and what my preferences were. He did his absolute best to cater to my myriad needs. I had two interviews within a week of our first communication. They briefed and prepped me for each interview. I felt very prepared and with their guidance I did well. They negotiated on my behalf to attain excellent offers after both my interviews. Jim Lose and the Lucas Group worked tirelessly, often calling me late in the evening. When all was said and done I got an excellent job exactly where I wanted to live with a salary not a dollar less than my desired compensation. I cannot recommend Jim and the Lucas Group highly enough.”

“I cannot recommend Jim Lose and Lucas Group highly enough if you are a transitioning officer. I contacted Jim directly and from that moment forward he and his team did not stop working on my behalf. They quickly got me in front of multiple, high quality opportunities and personally prepared me for them. Jim is clearly invested in his candidates; the time he spent speaking with me one on one, coaching and answering my questions, was so valuable to my preparation for individual interviews and in moving through the career search process as a whole. Thanks to Jim and Lucas Group I won on all the major considerations of job, compensation, location, and future potential.”
