Veteran

Elyna Feist Sierra Vista, AZ

I am looking into getting back into Human Resources and wanting to see if someone is willing to look at my resume to see what needs improvement and possible word choices that need to be arranged. I am interested in at least aiming to get back into GS if possible.

Elyna,did you know that as veteran the company that employees you is entitled to a tax credit up to $9,600. Most employers don't this either. I can show you what to add to your resume that will point this out plus how the employer can take advantage of the credit. Just send me an email to ramco1@verizon.net if you want to learn how. Anyone else reading this feel free to contact me for some guidance.
Warmly,
Bob

Hi Elyna,

Thank you so much for your service and question! Since you you're currently working on your resume, I want to suggest a few articles and tools that you may find helpful. I really like https://hbr.org/2014/12/how-to-write-a-resume-that-stands-out

For more military-specific advice I would highly recommend https://www.realwarriors.net/veterans/treatment/civilianresume and https://www.resumeengine.org/.

If you'd like to have someone directly look at it, you can always ask an Advisor in our Community tab. From the options menu on top you can select Community, and it should bring you to a map of the United States: https://acp-advisornet.org/community/advisors

From here, you can click on certain cities on the map to search for Advisors. You can also search by company, industry, or years of experience. Once you find an Advisor that you think can answer your question, you can send them a private message.

If you need help with this process, please feel free to send me a direct message,

Best,

Yasmina
