For a veteran it is even more difficult then a civilian in interviews because you are discussing a topic which can sound like a foreign language to many hiring managers. When I first got out of the military, I was so used to titles and ranks and caught up with the formality and process of the interview, I lost touch with what I was really there for.

As I mentioned before, I got out of the Marines over 8 years ago and had no one guiding me, assisting me or even caring about where I was going or worse what my resume looked like. I was told to buy a Resume Guide (If my combat boots had a parachute I think it was called) and that was where I would get the help to do my resume. This book was okay, but what can you get out of a book? It was a military retiree’s firsthand opinion of how a resume should be done and how the military experience should translate. Come to find out, it was of no use at all. It did not give me enough information on how to best format my resume or even how to fully translate what I did in the Marines into civilian terms.
