The 3 Biggest Mistakes Veterans Make With Their Resumes – Eric Burleson

I can't get to your website- it is blocked and will try to get on it from home. Good on you for helping other brothers and sisters out SSG Eric Burleson

Good morning I wish my server here at work would let me view your post but I would like to add my 2 cents, One thing I tried talking with a Active duty CSM is that resume writing is not being taught in the Senior level NCOES schools at first so we are screwing our troops from the start, I've been working on my resume since 2007 and I still got a long way to go but I landed a pretty good gig. Two TAPS and ACAPS is teaching us crap, either way where did they get the people to teach these classes volunteers. Are you active duty or have you retired from service, tell me what is was like to develop a resume with out any guidance? oh did I forget cover letter as well, Your talking to combat arms guy because there are a lot of NCOs and senior Officer who don't have a clue on resume writing, so before you come on pointing out problems with resume, lets teach our veterans how to write them first, I know what the hiring managers are looking for because I've been though the loops and still trying to find the right security job that I fit into. Sorry to sound like a jerk but I really wish I could view you write up of your article. Some reason the firewall is up today and it is not letting me in. First time. Try again.


RESUME 101

On the resume length advice. Yes that is good for most recently discharged veterans but if you have over 15 years of experience and the employer is looking for someone with over 10 years in experience..........you need to be at least 2 pages, over 2 is probably excessive and I agree 3-5 is ridiculous.
