Your military resume is a brief snapshot of your professional career to date.
The team at SOAR has seen thousands of military resumes and can help you create, revise, or update your resume. Read and review our Resume Guide to get a better understanding of the the ideal format and avoid common resume mistakes.
You should update your military resume at least every two years even if you are happily employed or not exiting active duty for some time. We recommend this practice because it forces you to document your accomplishments and quantify your results.
Keep in mind that most hiring managers spend less than two minutes reading a resume before conducting an interview. While your resume is a key tool in your career search, you should not spend hours on end preparing it. The tips and samples we provide should help you develop a concise, articulate document representative of your past performance and future potential.
