Use Your Federal Experience to Land High-Paying Contract Work: (Step by Step)
Apr 14, 2025In a recent interview with Ernesto Bent—veteran, long-time federal employee, and co-founder of Aviano Procurement— he shed light on the growing concern of federal downsizing under the current administration, particularly within the Department of Veterans Affairs. With over 20 years of experience in federal service and a background in the Air Force, Bent emphasized the value of transferable skills when navigating job insecurity in the public sector.
He shared his personal transition from government roles to launching his own consulting business, inspired by his experience in GovClose. GovClose helped simplify the complex world of government contracting and sparked his passion for helping small businesses succeed in this space. Today, through Aviano Procurement, Bent is committed to guiding entrepreneurs through the contracting process, proving that even in uncertain times, new opportunities can emerge.
