Beyond professional credentials and certifications, Information Professional Officers can advance their education by:

Postgraduate education is important to the success of the Information Professional. Most IPs will complete a master's degree in C4I, space, information systems, computer science or modeling and simulation.

For annual training, Information Professional Officers may serve anywhere in the world, whether on a ship at sea or at bases and installations on shore.
Take a moment to learn more about the general roles and responsibilities of Navy Reserve Sailors.
Most of what you do in the Navy Reserve is considered training. The basic Navy Reserve commitment involves training a minimum of one weekend a month (referred to as drilling) and two weeks a year (referred to as Annual Training) - or the equivalent of that.
Information Professional Officers in the Navy Reserve serve in an Officer role. Before receiving the ongoing professional training that comes with this job, initial training requirements must first be met.
For current or former Navy Officers (NAVET): Prior experience satisfies the initial leadership training requirement - so you will not need to go through Officer Training again.
Officers who previously held a commission in another United States Military Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Public Health Service, or United States Coast Guard are exempt from attending ODS or LDO/CWO Academy.

Senior IT Staffing Account Executive / Market Leader
Locations:
Open to proven senior producers across the U.S. with an established market presence
The Opportunity
This role is built for experienced IT staffing producers who want more than a quota - they want ownership. Zeektek is hiring a senior-level Account Executive to build and own a market, shape a long-term growth strategy, and scale a book of business with full organizational backing.
This is an ideal opportunity for a high performer who feels constrained in their current role - capped commissions, limited autonomy, internal competition, or lack of investment - and is ready to create something lasting. The role is challenging by design, but for the right individual, it is exceptionally lucrative and offers the chance to establish a personal legacy within a fast-growing firm and the tech staffing industry.
What You’ll Own
- End-to-end ownership of a defined market or vertical within IT staffing
- Development and execution of a long-term market growth strategy
- Full responsibility for business development, account expansion, and revenue growth
- Ability to build, scale, and retain a high-performing consultant population
- Strategic relationships with senior-level hiring leaders and decision-makers
- Autonomy to shape how your desk, territory, and client base are built
- Close partnership with executive leadership to align growth strategy and resources
This is not a plug-and-play role — it’s a build, scale, and lead opportunity.
Who This Role Is For
You’re likely a fit if you:
- Have 5+ years of IT staffing experience with a proven record of growth
- Think beyond individual placements and focus on market penetration and scale
- Want to own your success without internal competition or artificial limits
- Are motivated by building something that’s truly yours - not just inheriting accounts
- Thrive in environments that reward initiative, resilience, and strategic thinking
- Are financially driven and comfortable with high accountability
- See challenges as leverage points, not obstacles
Requirements
- 5+ years of technical staffing agency experience (required)
- Demonstrated success growing accounts, territories, or verticals
- Experience selling SOW and Project solutions in addition to traditional staffing
- Strong network of client relationships within IT and technology leadership
- Proven ability to scale consultant headcount and revenue
- Strategic mindset with hands-on execution ability
- High integrity, professionalism, and business acumen
Why This Role Is Different
- True market ownership - no internal competition for your accounts
- Uncapped earning potential designed for top-tier performers
- Profit sharing opportunities tied to market success
- Executive-level visibility and decision-making influence
- Support from recruiting, marketing, and leadership invested in your growth
- A company culture that rewards builders, not just maintainers
Zeektek invests in people who want to build - and backs them fully once they do.
Why Top Performers Choose Zeektek
- Competitive base + best-in-class, uncapped commission structure
- Aggressive bonus and incentive programs
- Direct access to C-Suite leadership - no layers of red tape
- 401(k) with company match
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance
- Company outings and team events

Saving lives is the mission-but for Special Operations medics, it's a mission fought in the shadows. These elite medical specialists don't just treat injuries; they bring life-saving expertise into the fight.
From stabilizing wounded operators under enemy fire to leaping from helicopters and diving with Special Operations teams, Hospital Corpsmen in the Advanced Technical Field (HM-ATF), are trained to handle medical emergencies wherever the mission takes them. As part of an exclusive group supporting SEALs, Divers, SWCC, and EOD teams, they deliver critical care in the most extreme conditions. You might serve in one of three roles: a Search & Rescue Medical Technician, a Dive Medical Technician or as a Special Operations Independent Duty Corpsman.
It's not easy to earn the title "Doc." But when warfighters put their lives on the line, they need a medical warrior by their side.

SPECIAL OPERATIONS CORPSMAN: CAREER DETAILS & REQUIREMENTS
Responsibilities
Those in the Hospital Corpsman Advanced Technical Field go beyond the duties of basic Hospital Corpsman, working in austere and challenging environments while saving lives. Each of the three classifications has its own responsibilities:
Special Operations Independent Duty Corpsman (SOIDC)
- Provide advanced medical care and operational services for Marine Reconnaissance, USMC Special Operations Forces and Navy Special Operations Command personnel, like SWCC and SEALs
- Engage as a team member in direct action, special reconnaissance, foreign internal defense and unconventional warfare

- Rescue patients and deliver emergency care from the back of a helicopter
- Perform aircrew duties and En Route Care (ERC) for routine illness and emergent patients
- Provide relief and assistance in areas ravaged by catastrophic natural disasters
- Support Search and Rescue (SAR), tactical evacuation (TECEVAC), Medical Evacuation (MEDEVAC), casualty evacuation (CASEVAC) and Combat Search & Rescue (CSAR) for Navy and Marine Corps Aviation

- Operate, test and repair all Navy diving equipment
- Perform underwater inspections, harbor/port/ship security inspections, conduct ordnance searches, rescue personnel, engage in special warfare and small boat operations
- Operate Swimmer Delivery Vehicle Dry-Deck Shelter system and submarine Lock-in/Lock-out systems
Work Environment
As a Hospital Corpsman, you have the most diverse range of work environments in the Navy. Your job will likely take you all over the world-and far out of your comfort zone. If you choose to go the Hospital Corpsman Advanced Technical Field route, you will work in extreme and sometimes precarious conditions. From deep-sea diving to combat missions to flying in MH-60 Romeo helicopters, you will train outside the realm of conventional military forces to prepare for any mission. You may work independent of a physician or under supervision in this program.
Training & Advancement
Upon completion of initial training at Recruit Training Command Great Lakes (known as Boot Camp), you'll report for specialized training including:
Hospital Corps "A" School (19 weeks) in San Antonio, Texas for training on basic principles and techniques of patient care and first aid procedures.
After "A" School, HM-ATF candidates track to one of three advanced training paths:
- Special Operations Independent Duty Corpsman Pipeline (121 weeks)
Areas of training include but are not limited to basic reconnaissance, airborne operations, combatant diving, demolitions, clinical diagnostics, advanced trauma skills, Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), basic surgical anesthesia, basic veterinary medicine and basic dental exams. - Search and Rescue Medical Tech Pipeline (27 weeks)
Areas of training include but are not limited to advanced fluid resuscitation, administration and management of Advanced Life Support medications, use of emergency medical equipment, rescue and recovery devices and patient handling. - Medical Deep Sea Diving Tech Pipeline (28 weeks)
Areas of training include but are not limited to diving physics, scuba and surface-supplied air diving, recognition and treatment of diving related illnesses.
After completing your pipeline, you'll receive your first assignment. You'll go wherever you're needed, which can be anywhere in the world. Automatic promotion opportunities are available but are competitive and based on completion of pipeline.
Post-Service Opportunities
There's no better way to begin a successful career in health care than by serving in the medical support division of America's Navy. Specialized training received and work experience gained in the course of service can lead to valuable credentialing and occupational opportunities in related fields in the civilian world, such as Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Home Health Aide, Anesthesiologist Assistant and more.
Education Opportunities
Beyond offering access to professional credentials and certifications, Navy technical and operational training in the medical field can translate to credit hours toward a bachelor's or associate degree through the American Council on Education.
