    man, everybody already gave you constructive advice...
    so let me just say that that resume was ? horrible...
    and how you a veteran with no education benefits?

    I was wondering the same thing. I just assumed that he got kicked out before the benefits kicked in.

    Its a long story, don't wanna talk about it. But I'd advise any young person to join the military.

    I'm working on a resume now ith ABSOLUTELY NO PICTURES. Except the iRA! symbol for my name. It took me 20 minutes to make so I think I'll keep it.

    And when the ? are yall gonna post yall resumes? ? .

    military is not for everybody mane. FACT!!!!!!

    i got dishonorably discharged and almost went to jail cuz they had me stationed in a town w/ no black ppl and whole bunch of racist crackaz. ? aint fa everybody. It took YEARS for me to get that ? busted down to a general discharge so i could find a ? job. Military cool for sum ppl but not all. Don't walk around tellin all young ppl that ? cuz it aint for everybody. Just advise all these young ppl to go to school.(get a trade/degree/sum type of certification) but Military? ? naw, sum ppl not cut out to deal w/ them crackaz and they ? .

    I agree with you. I've noticed it go either way:

    Some can't survive on the outside without the military
    And some just can't get down with the military

    You're fortunate to have been able to get your discharge changed. Contrary to what a lot of people think, that process can be long and hard to do...I only know a handful that was able to get theirs changed.

    I got discharged cuz I busted up my knee so bad, I couldn't bend my leg. No marching, no running, 8-count body building, no walking up stairs.

    I was told I could reinlist in 6 months, so Imma do that. Military ain't for everyone, but I was 6 weeks deep (you need 8 to graduate) so I think I could do it again.

    Here's another Resume. THe last thing I'll add is OBJECTIVES, unless yall have anything else to add.

    as far as the resumes? you not goin catch 2 many ppl put their personal business online like that. It's not cuz they're ashamed, they just don't want to.

    But hol' on, you just told me how you got dishonorably discharged...? Thaz real personal.
    I go on facebook and see people post thier phone numbers, their bathing suit, and drinking games (with video). But people can't show their resume?

    It seems like you're more concerned with the format/pictures than the actual content. You need to beef your resume up with more details.

    ok bruh u should check out monster.com they have section on their that will help u with ur resume.
    Here's the thing about Monster. THey dont want you hired, they just wanna use you for statistics and advertisement. People will sell your phone # and email just to solicit you to either go back to school (Pheonix) or sell ? door-to-door. THEN, you gotta PAY to sell the product. ? that, put me in a uniform and a desk for 7 hours a day.

    Instead of finding a job strictly online, I'd rather look for a job on feet with a printed resume.

    Good luck with that. Fast food might be different but most companies now require you to use their website to apply and submit resumes. I know someone in HR right now that's told me she had people try to walk in with printed resumes and she just shreds them after they leave. Recruiters search for resumes online using keywords. Gone are the days of walking about job searching.

    ....Resumes got personal information that include where you work at, your profession, and where you can be located. All that ? have can be ? edited but it's ppl that can piece that ? together and do identity theft or start stalkin yo ass.

    Good point. First time I filled out some apps on CRAIGSLIST, I got a strange phone call the next day. This foreign lady says "
    Mr LaRoche, you need to claim your prize."
    What prize? "
    You've won 2.5 million dollars and a mercedes benz."
    ? ! So how do I claim it?
    "Can you send $300 by western union?"

    So yeah, that identity theft-scam ? is real.

    You need to have resumes that can be worded diferently to fit what they are looking for. And a lot of employers are using outside HR companies to make their hires for them. they used software that does word matches. To get your resume looked at the best thing is to use words and phrases that were in the job description.

    You guys have been great tho. You've probably saved me the humiliation.
