Do recruiters on RP ever give feedback on how job seekers should complete their profile?

Jacqueem I think the servicemember has to take the initiative and ask. One of the things that frustrate me the most is a servicemember that do not have sense of urgency. In the last week or so I had about 5 servicemembers that returned my call and they said I am calling because I received your email about 1 1/2 months ago....really. How would you recommend I support someone like tha. Trust me I am not sitting around waiting for their call.
Servicemember be on the offense take charge of your career.

Then you build a relationship with them so you are working top down approach applying for role....and inside out connecting with someone in the company that can get you some mileage.

Because they are focusing on trying to make it dress right dress. Get a product and connect with people to develop relationships. Ultimately find the product you like and go with it test it and see if you are getting hits. I may see it one way and someone else will see it another way.

With your background and a security clearance you should have no issue landing a quality job. I'd say that the toughest choice you will have is location. I'd worry more about my LinkedIn profile and networking with civilian recruiters. You contact them, don't wait for someone to read your resume.
Good Luck.
