Would you mind emailing your resume? I've helped several people with resume and networking tips who are former Navy. Send to Valerie d0t cortez1 at gmail d0t com

Are you willing to relocate if necessary or prefer to focus in your current geographic area?

Hi Levuris, I would be happy to assist you as well. Do you have a LinkedIn profile? If not, I can help you develop one. It is an essential tool for networking, finding and applying for positions that are truly open (as they are posted by the employer) - not just an aggregated job board like so many.

Hi Levuris, thanks for your service to our country. I've been in HR for 20+ years. I see that Ms. Cortez above will help with your resume. After you and she get that fined tuned, and dedcide if you are willing to relocate and to where, and what job/field/industry(s) you have in mind, and if you haven't already done so, you might want to create a profile on LinkedIn. This is a very good way to get your resume information out into the public and look for jobs that match your experience, skills, education and goals. You can also set up connections to many other people you know, and build a network of people that may also help in finding a job.

Good luck...

For your resume, start writing out a draft resume with all your skills written in concise form, for each job skill you've achieved, for each company or military outfit you've worked for. Have also, a section for your education, listed. If you need my help to rewrite your resume, you can email me at junermassoud@hotmail.com, and we'll talk by email. Give me some time to devote to it, it won't get done in a couple of days, or maybe I'll just guide you on how to do it and you could do it yourself. We'll see. Let's try. Best, June

Levuris, I would be happy to look at your resume. I agree with a couple of other advisors that suggested you consider relocating and I would also suggest consideration of the career field that would most inspire you. Over the years I've done a number of "jobs" and they had nothing to do with my education preparation. I am advocating that our returning military personnel consider business broker and ownership. Over the next 5 to 10 years a large number of businesses will be on the market. Let me know if I can give you some specific advice. I want to focus on your statement, "get to where I want to be."
