Practical Resume Advice for Military Veterans

Switching careers takes courage. And veterans know a thing or two about courage.  But when military personnel finish serving their country and look to re-enter civilian life, they need more than just strong nerves to make the transition to a new career. Finding a job demands practical strategies.  For veterans, the struggle is often aligning the skills and experiences they’ve gained in the military with the types of jobs that exist outside the military. On top of that, long-serving veterans don’t have a lot of experience with resume making.  Not to worry. This post is all about helping those that have served in the armed forces create resumes as they seek out civilian positions.
