I hope you're playing good OPSEC and redacted PII to prevent possibility of stealing your identity. That also may happen when you submit your resume to unverified "employer."

I was actually thinking the opposite for some reason. Like one of those ads that say there is hot girls in my area that want to meet me! Lol I immediately thought NOPE!

If you're at MacDill AFB then go to the service member resource center next to the pool / Subway and have them assist you. That is what they do for transitioning service members, and it is free.
Cheers!

Hi Jay,
I am responsible for hiring IT personnel at the senior level. I go through resumes quite a bit, and rather rapidly. Here are a couple pointers. 1) Put a list of all your skills (alphabetically) near the top on the first page of your resume. When scanning through hundreds of resumes, I don't have time to read them all. I skim rapidly for keywords. 2) Use an easy to read font. I use Garamond, but Ariel and Calabri work well. 3) Write your resume with the understanding that it will be in a pile of hundreds of other resumes. Your resume has to stand out in some fashion.
Here is how i have the first page of my resume setup (@9 font):
Header with all contact information and link to my Linkedin profile
Objective
Technical Skills
Managerial Skills
Summary of Qualifications
Education
I can take a look at your resume if you would like. Just ping me.
