Hi Guillermo,

Thank you for your service and for posting a question to the Community. While you are not able to post your resume directly to AdvisorNet, there are a few options to get some feedback.

You can post another question asking if anyone would be able to provide feedback and you will likely get several responses with offers. You can send your resume via private message as well. You can use the Community tool to browse for Advisors with experience in your industry of interest, or perhaps HR, and you will be able to find some people to send your resume to.

I hope this information is helpful for you, and please do not hesitate to send me a message if you have any questions.

Best,
Lauren

Thank you for your service. There are several suggestions that most services and internet sites recommend, and they are right.

Give your resume a format change and lead with a summary that outlines your skills and qualifications. Share generalities from past positions to translate how it will be beneficial in new roles, like skills, duties, projects or management. Use clear civilian language to describe your career objectives, but highlight key wording from job descriptions and any accomplishments you have achieved. Keep the verbiage in present tense and have others read through it for feedback. If you can pursue any certifications or even CEU (Continuing Education Units) will show how interested you are and make recruiters take notice.

I hope this helps you on this new journey and I wish you all the best.

Kindest regards,
Merry Vickers

Hi Ybarra,

Recruiters are not looking here for resumes. Today's trend is to search for a job within companies you are interested in and then apply with a suitable resume with skills matching what the firm is looking for. Cover letters are critical as well again, using skills and key words the firm has set up within their data bases. If you need help with resume review, I would be happy to review and make any suggestions to help you get in the direction you need.
LinkedIn is another source for companies to find you and you to find them. Once the resume is clean, LinkedIn becomes a great tool.

Regards,
Liz Campanelli
