Career/Job/Resume Counseling

TAP counselors assist servicemembers in all areas of transition. One-on-one counseling, instruction, and assistance is available as needed. However, one-on-one counseling does not satisfy the requirement for pre-separation counseling or attendance at the TAP Workshop.

 

Resume Software allows for the preparation and laser-quality print of resumes on resume paper. Computer-generated resumes are high-quality, professional documents ready for individuals to submit. It is strongly recommended that members complete these job search documents prior to leaving the military, since resumes prepared in the civilian community can be extremely costly.


Resume Workshop

For many job seekers, preparing a resume is the first critical step in the job search process. Learn to prepare a resume that will make a positive impression on prospective employers. Issues discussed include how to put your education, experience, and background together to make the resume work for you.
