Resume Template and Comments

Resumes & Cover Letters

Greetings,

Below you will find a simplistic resume template that can be used for civilian employment. Within my experience and school of thought, I do not add an objective to the template. Unless extraordinarily particular and focused, objectives seem obsolete and cliche. However, you must feel comfortable with your resume, so the choice is yours!

Lastly, gone are the days of civilian resumes being limited to one page. If you have more than ten years of experience, training, education, and/ or military experience, your resume may very well become two pages. And that's OK!
