I would like to get back into a planning and analyst position. I am willing to travel and to move if necessary. I have been very successful at teleworking so that is something I am interested in as well. Right now I am not sure how to make my resume look more appealing. It has quantifiable/metrics information but I am not sure if there is enough to catch the attention of a hiring authority. I could use some advice. Thanks-

Thank you for your service and I would like to try to answer this for you. 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

Thank you for your service! I will also look at your resume as well if you send a copy. What federal websites are you looking on? My experience with the federal applications can get more in-depth than just your resume (USAjobs).
Send me a copy of your resume. Thank you for your service.
