Welcome to "The Hired Veteran". I write about my experience as a veteran and the job search. My hope is that my adventures in job hunting help veterans find purpose and meaningful employment after they leave the uniform. Please reach out to me and share your thoughts on what you think of the site!
Cheers,
Tommy

I left active duty in 2014, in June of this year I will have officially been out of the Marines longer than I was in the Marines. That in and of itself doesn’t really mean anything, it’s just an arbitrary statistic. However, it does mean that my military service is largely irrelevant.
The job titles on your resume need to be understandable and attention-grabbing.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll offer some insight into how veterans can write better resumes to increase their chances of getting interviews in the business world. We’ll dig into how long your resumes should be and how you should format them, but the main focus will be on what information you should include in them.
I have many issues with algorithms that I feel unfairly discriminate against us career switchers and don't really hit on finding talent, but I digress. I just don't like algorithms that insult me and I would think that companies wouldn't want them either.
