Common ErrorsCommon ErrorsNot Specific on Duties: Must give us enough information to see the specialized requirements in the job you did.
Generic Resumes: Resume should include as much info as possible. Must very specific and document the general/specialized experience and KSA factors for all jobs you are interested in. Or you can create various resumes to “focus” on types of positions
Not showing both military and civilian experience: List ALL related civilian and military job experience related to position applying for. The relevant military experience you show may make the difference as to whether or not you are qualified. Volunteer time counts too!
Specify whether experience was part-time (and hours) or full-time.
