Resume writing tips for Military Veterans

Since the crash of oh-eight and the subsequent bottoming of the markets in oh-nine the matter of finding a stable occupation in these times of instability are slim, however as a previous member of the service you have skills that could put you at a distinct advantage and in this article we’re going to show you can market advantage to potential employers (you lucky person you).
