Your experience

How we present your experience

Government solicitations score the experience of the whole team, including experience earned in earlier roles. With your written permission, we name you in a proposal, attach your resume and list the plans you completed, credited to you and the organization you did them for, with your role stated accurately. We never present your work as work the firm performed.
