so it sounds better if i say ” quick decision making in stressful sitiations?
i was thinkin about sayin what weapon im qualified to shoot but then i would have to say
m16, m4, m249 , 240, mk19, m2 .50cal, at4,
i dont think it would sound good
what do u think
what about
“Provided leadership, instruction, and supervision of a fireteam of marines”
does it sound ok. i mean i got 2 “of’s” almost next to each other?
thank you all for ur comments please keek them coming
If they don’t hire you – they deserve what they get!
it seems perfect.:)
no mistakes i saw.
and im a editor.
best answer?
Awesome resume! You will be hired.
I’d hire you it sounds impressive to me! I don’t know what they’re looking for but your grammar is just fine and your accomplishments are plentiful!
Didn’t read whole thing but when I just started reading, I noticed you said bilingual, you mentioned english and spanish. english is probably need, so just say fluent in second language, that’s it
No,
what is grammer?
Where it says,
“• Able to make difficult decisions in stressful situations”
Perhaps change it too, “Quick decision thinking in difficult & stressful situations”
Thats all I could think off
I guess you meant “grammar”.
*No typo found, but you should change “summary of qualifications” to “leadership abilities”.
*Just put “fluent in English and Spanish”, not need to emphasize on “bilingual”.
*Don’t forget to add the dates for your activities and awards. The employer would like to verify that.
*Specify the kind of computer software and hardware you are proficient in, as well as how long you have been using them.
Other than that it looks pretty good.
Good luck!
I would list what weapon systems you are qualified on, besides that it sounds good
If they don’t hire you, they’re nuts! You did extremely well on your resume, and your qualifications are excellent.
Everything looks good but I wouldn’t say that you qualified “marksman” or list the weapons. There are a lot of marines that are police officers and that won’t impress them unless you qualified as an expert.
I would say that you are “proficient in small arms weapons”.
I would also specify what rank you were when you EAS’d. I would also go with the recomendation of saying “quick decision making under stressful situations.
Tyris
I think it sounds good, but I did catch a typo. Add a d to improvise to make it improvised IEDs.
And what about saying supervision of a marine fireteam? It gets rid of one of the “ofs”.
They should be happy to have you in their force if your resume is representative of you!
