A few months ago I posted a question about good web based Job searching sites. A lot from what I have read was make sure you resume was good, churched up, and even legible. I was wondering if anyone out here knows of any good resume writing services, sites, or people? I can not afford to really pay and I have know idea if the VA has any service like this. I really suck at this resume thing, even with this separation packet I got when I get out. I know they're different types and styles out there. What has worked best?

Be aware there are different agencies, specifically for US Government jobs you need to be careful you get the right ones. A quick Google search will produce many results.

Be careful about embellishing the Military "stuff" into civilian tasks. Simply write it under "other schooling and courses" as far as the MOS description, most civilians understand when you write the name of the MOS like Infantry or whatever.
Honestly the Military education and experience does more for you as a weight in your direction as a person who will do what it takes, the skill set is often not so important unless it is an "skilled" MOS.
I can send you an example of a layout that works well if you wish but like I said; there are different styles and layouts for business and Government.

I do know that, and no worries on the embellishing. That is honestly one of my faults, I really don't know how to sell my self in writing. All I did was fix airplanes. With some support equipment and tool maintenance experience, I do not have much military education, I think, as well as college education. I have to work full time and online schools are not for me.
