Dear Frank,

I am reasonably certain there is a Federal position waiting for you. A search on www.usajobs.gov showed 635 job announcements in a 25-mile radius of Atlanta. And the second job announcement on the list, https://www.usajobs.gov/GetJob/ViewDetails/463484100, was for a Special Agent – Education/Teaching Background.

But before you apply for any Federal position, it is critical that you know the information and the correct format that is required for a Federal résumé. Please feel free to contact me for assistance.

Good luck with your job search and thank you for your Service!

Sincerely,
Bob Jurasek

Frank,
I reviewed your LI profile, and your TAG/Headline find me line does not even mention the fact you are in teaching/professor. Secondly, you should never put your resume on LI, LI is your means to sell yourself, in keywords used by your career field, to then obtain request for your resume or CV. The resume or CV is then tailored to the position, not a general resume. I would also you connect with
https://www.linkedin.com/in/quinnmi/ Michael Quinn, he is a veteran advocate with E&Y, and a retired CSM, who is very candid on service members working. The first article speaks to your TAG/Headline, which that and your picture are the first things they look at. Then the second article goes into your summary and experience. You should focus on your educational accomplishments, with #$% and awards or special recognition. I would also obtain a recommendation on your teaching skills, unless you are going back into sales. If you are then keep your sales experience and head that way. Keep in mind, just because LI offers the opportunity to fill out your entire life, you have a passion for teaching-sell that and market yourself as that-anything past 10 years does not matter on resume and especially the profile. If you are going for a GS position and use USA Jobs, then you need it, outside of that the application may have you go back. I see more passion in your ACP question than in your LI profile, market yourself as a passionate educator. I hope I am not too rough, but your profile will add to your frustration. Personal face to face networking is better than social media, but social media has a place in today's fast paced world.

Frank:

I see you live in Atlanta . There should be a number of opportunities to network in the Atlanta area . I suggest you once again reach out to an ACP advisor for some guidance . In the interim do a search on veteran organizations in the Atlanta area . The key to finding a job is networking, networking , networking.... The more opportunities you have to interact with other professionals the greater your chance of success . You should probably work with your advisor to first identify your target market and then revise your resume to ensure it properly highlights your skills and work experience.

Good luck .
