[quote=Anonymous]Highlight your most relevant skills and experience - don't fill pages of your resume with technical descriptions of being a radio operator when you're applying for a marketing job. Convert your resume to English - avoid acronyms and miltary-speak. It may be impressive in a military setting but I can't decipher it. If your military career did not provide you with relevant experience, highlight previous experience that does. Use your cover letter to help me understand why I should consider you for the job. Demonstrate knowledge of my company, our industry, and the market in which we operate. These are all things that every candidate should do, but things that I see ex-military most often missing the mark on. Also, show me that you are more than military. PS I'm a military brat - father served 30+ years. Great respect for the military, and want veterans to do well when they return to the commercial sector. [/quote]
