Family Member Employment Assistance Program

The Family Member Employment Assistance service provides valuable employment assistance and accurate, timely information about how to find employment in Hawaii for family members of Marines, Sailors, reservists and retirees.

The Career Resource Management Center (CRMC) at Marine & Family Services, Bldg. #216 assists family members, retirees, reservists seeking employment and active duty personnel looking for employment. This is accomplished through a variety of services, seminars and special employment recruitment -- all at NO COST. These services include:

• Career/Job/Resume Counseling
• Company Recruitment
• Federal Application Workshop
• Interviewing Basics Workshop
• Joint Employment Management System (JEMS)
• Resume Software
• Resume Workshop

CRMC has an extensive stock of Career Resource books available for use within the office. The subjects covered include resume instruction, college information, career fields, and current professional topics and trends.

Career/Job/Resume Counseling

TAP counselors assist service members 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.
