Advice for a Warrant Officer Candidate Resume (for the Board)?

I'm completing my Warrant Officer Resume, and I would like a guideline. If someone who was board selected recently still has their resume, and would be willing to share it with me I would be very appreciative!

I submitted my application in May and I can tell you from my experience that it should be short and to the point. Briefly summarize your accomplishments from the resume then focus on why the Warrant Officer Corps would be better off with you in its ranks. Highlight your leadership ability and why you will make a successful Warrant Officer. Lastly, have as many Warrants look at it as possible. God luck!!!

SSG Krull,

Please refer to the following link for help completing your application:

http://www.usarec.army.mil/hq/warrant/

They also have a Facebook page that can be found at:

I completed my packet when I was active duty Navy, as such I had little to no help. I followed the instructions on Warrant Officer recruiting webpage that I listed above and had a relatively easy time completing the application. The largest challenges I faced was getting my flight physical and taking the AFAST (not used any more). The form for the Warrant Officer resume can also be found on the site listed above, in case you have trouble finding it I am including a direct link to it as well.

Best of luck to you!

Very smart decision. I put together an OCS packet that went through but ws fully qualified/non-select (age). I gave the same packet to another NCO in my unit and he is now on RallyPoint as a Major. Getting old kind of.....sucks.

Anything that you can include that is in support od the Warfighter is Gold, or at least it was when I applied! Whenever you can show that your training or experience would benefit the Warfighter, that had additional weight. Any "warfighter" experience is even more beneficial. I don't know what the "phrase that pays" is now, but it was..."Support the warfighter"

When I first applied for and was selected the Army had Warrant Officer Accension NCO( Warrant recruiters). Now I understand that it is now handled through most retention offices. If you already meet the criteria the only advise I can give sight unseen is to make sure that you have supporting documents for whatever you list on your resume'. We had to have 3 good NCOER's specifically citing ability for growth and more responsibility. It is a plus if everything is in chronological order and the supporting documents as well. A good current DA photo is needed as well.
