Father, Donald Rederscheid, Private 1st Class, U.S. Army
Resume Tips: If you work for a very large company or work in a very specialized area, make sure you include the division you worked for along with your company name. And, don’t ever put your high school information on your resume, no matter how special your high school was it is not relevant in a professional job search.

Father, Earl Notestine, Private 1st Class, U.S. Army
Resume Tips: Don’t forget that your resume is your biggest professional marketing tool. Don’t just list what you were given to do but rather try to present what challenges you faced while completing your job responsibilities. Highlight what you achieved and what difference it made to your business. Don’t forget that employers want to see “What’s in it for me?” when considering hiring you, so make sure you show them.

Resume Tips: Remember those eight seconds you have to grab a hiring manager’s attention? Using bullets and lists catch far more attention on a resume than dense, word packed paragraphs. Concise language sells you as an efficient, articulate hire.
Nancy Darian, Executive Recruiter, Data Science and Analytics
Father, Louis Caracciolo, U.S. Coast Guard
Resume Tips: Include your accomplishments in your resume, not just job duties. Employers want to see what tangible results you have achieved.
