A resume is worth more than gold.  After serving six years in the United States Armed Forces, you will enter the marketplace with six years of career service in the most respected professional institution in the world.  You just don’t know that because you have been talking to camp counselors.  I mean school counselors.   Pardon the slip.

While your friends are searching their thesaurus for all the right words to inflate their college transcripts into something marketable, your resume will speak for itself.  Veterans offer experience in employable skills where graduates only offer promising test scores.

If it was your company, and you were doing the hiring, would you risk your family’s future on six years of real-world performance, or someone who has been writing book reports?

Don’t knock a resume.  Veterans are not even included in the same pile of applicants as graduates.
