Job-Seeker Tip of the Month

Let’s discuss the resume this month and a few of the common issues that we see when helping military job-seekers land their next role.

1. The Professional Summary: Far too often we see individuals with two paragraph professional summaries full of buzzwords like “results-oriented”. While there is nothing wrong with using one or two of these, that is not what will set you apart as a candidate. Consider a 3-4 sentence professional summary that clearly highlights your: (1) relevant experience including the number of years (2) relevant education, certification, achievement and/or clearance and (3) the role you are seeking.
2. What to Include: Your resume does not need to be everything you have ever done. In fact, for some roles it might feel like you are cutting out a huge portion of what you have done. However, you want to try to get your resume down to one page and have only the things that speak to why you are right for THIS job on the page. Having a resume that includes everything you have ever done, or a “master resume”, to pull from makes creating individual resumes for roles easy.
3. Your Bullets: These are not a job description, they are results that you produced. So don’t say “I was responsible for..” because that doesn’t tell a recruiter if you performed well. Focus on outcomes and don’t be afraid to estimate those outcomes in order to quantify them. Go from “Responsible for the training of all infantry officers” to “Led curriculum design and delivery to X students with an X% pass rate”.
4. The Length: If it is not a federal resume, aim for one page. At most, go to two pages but this is for someone with significant private sector experience, applying to a role in which the details of each individual position they held is important.
5. Double Check For: Consistency, is the text different sizes, colors, does it look weird? Is it in PDF format like it should be? Is it titled FIRSTLASTRESUME? Are there periods in some places but not others? Etc etc etc.
