I suggest you ask James Sipprell for feedback. He just wrote an excellent article "Transition Condition" on resumes. He knows how to get results. This is must reading for all of our members.

After some 25 plus years actually in "Supply Chain", Procurement and Contracts, here is my "two cents".

Look to start at the bottom: Junior buyer or some such. Don't be too fussy about which industry . You need to get "Hands-On" experience. Later you can be more selective. Take night courses in Supply Chain at a recognized college or university. Join the Supply Chain organization - (good for contacts) Find a mentor, (there are plenty around to help ex-military folks), who can help you advance. I will if you ask. Good luck.

Hi, the top one half of the first page of your resume should contain the most important information for prospective employers. Your customized cover letters should address specific requirements for the job that you are applying for. Please feel free to message me with both docs. With thanks, Leslie

I have taught resume-writing in college business classes and have been an evaluator/interviewer for many jobs for very large institutions. Here's my distillation: Resume evaluators are looking primarily for performance rather than positive-sounding, self-aggrandizing claims. As a result, I recommend that, even if your experience is rather limited, look for things you can quantify.

Example of weak statement: I understand supply-side economics and am very good at it.
Example of strong statement: I was able to cut 12% off our typical turn-around time from order to delivery.

Good luck, and thank you truly for your service.
