Can I ask you to send me your resume, so i can look at it? Currently I am serving as the Director of Veterans Initiatives for the nova.issa.org (NOVA- Northern Virginia, ISSA International Systems Security Association.)

What is your MOS? what do you want to do in civilian life? Would you take a job in security?

All drop me a resume to robertedwards771 at hotmail dot com and I will provide my two cents on the review.

Take a view at the old fox hole or defensive fighting position and provide a description as the above being an information system, list input/output, firewall, boundary, software, anti-virus and components of an information system.

I have gone through many versions of my resume in the last 3 years and at this point am still not sure if I have the correct version as of yet for what many employers are looking for.

The variety of veteran and military organizations that say they have assistance available, no one yet has really been much help in this area as each has their own version of what it should look like.

Robert,

I will do that in the near future, when I get home, currently in the hospital for surgery, only have my laptop with me for companionship, LOL.

I would have no issue with it, but would prefer if we were referring to physical security mgmt. or supervisory, not the standard guard type position as I don't think physically I could handle it.

Jinger,

If you could attach a copy to a message to my inbox here on RP that would be great, if not message me anyway and I will give you my email addy or physical addy to get one whichever is easier or feasible, thank you.

Veterans are supposed to get priority, but you need to be careful of the Application Manager as I have seen Veterans turned down because they failed to submitted the proper paperwork for the position. One individual lost out on a position due to an SF10 not being submitted for the position when the individual was not seeking a 10 points veterans preference. They through this out and by the time you appeal, Sorry the position has been filled.
