About VetMF
No veteran should have to guess at what comes next.
That is the whole mission. VetMF learns who you are and what you did, matches you to the corporate work you'd be good at and actually want, and gives you everything it takes to apply ready: the job in plain terms, the pay, the outlook, the way in, and a resume written for it. No recruiters, no job board, no upsell.
The problem
The transition has no playbook, so most people wing it.
Roughly two hundred thousand people leave the U.S. military every year. Most have proof of capability (rank, responsibility, a record) and no civilian vocabulary for it. The usual tools translate a job code into a list of titles and stop. The harder question, what would I be good at and actually want, is left to luck and whoever the veteran happens to know.
The promise
Real data, the whole picture, and nothing to sell you.
O*NET (the Department of Labor's occupational database) is imported in full: occupations, interest profiles, tasks, knowledge, skills, software, job zones, and the military crosswalk. BLS wages and O*NET job outlook are joined to it. Matching runs against that database, so results are consistent and nothing depends on a third-party API being up.

What it does
Four things, done carefully.
Matches you against real occupations, not job titles
A 30-item interest profile plus your service record (branch, MOS or rating, rank, years, education, clearance) is scored against the corporate occupations in the U.S. Department of Labor's O*NET database. Your job code and your resumes point to the corporate roles your record supports; the interest profile finds the ones you'd actually want.
Shows the numbers with their source
Every match carries BLS wages (median and the typical range), how many people hold the job nationally, the job outlook, and the education level that is typical. If a figure describes a broader occupation group than the exact title, the card says so.
Writes the resume for the role you pick
Choose a match and the resume builder loads what that occupation actually involves from O*NET: its tasks, knowledge areas, transferable skills, and the software named in postings. It then reframes what you did in that language, and only writes claims your experience supports.
Keeps your profile for the next move
Your assessment and matches are saved. A veteran who used VetMF to land a first civilian job can come back years later, start from their current title instead of their MOS, and get the next set of matches without starting over.
The standard
What a good result has to do.
Two questions, both answered
A good assessment tells you what you'd be good at and what you'd enjoy. The matches are ranked on the intersection, and the reasons on each card say which is which.
Corporate, with an honest way in
Every match is a corporate role. Education sets which are realistic today; for a veteran without a degree, that means roles where experience substitutes and employers whose veteran programs open a door without one, not a wall.
No invented experience
The resume builder writes only what your background supports. Military systems are translated to the civilian category of tool, never to a vendor product you never used.
Funded by supporters, not users
Costs are covered by contributions and mission sponsors, not by charging the people the tool exists for.
Who it is for
Three moments in the same career.
Leaving service
Start from your branch, job code, rank, and years. The crosswalk and your interests do the rest.
Start from your MOS →Already in a civilian job
Start from your current title. Veterans in civilian work often can't see the skills they've built; this makes them visible.
Start from your title →Back for the next move
Your profile and matches are saved. Sign in, update what changed, and get the next set.

“There are plenty of resources for veterans. Almost none of them start with the hard question: what should I actually do next? I built VetMF to answer that with real data instead of guesswork, and to make sure that once you know, you have everything you need to go get it. Try it, and if something is broken or missing, tell me. I will fix it.”
