+ Learn how to ‘showcase’ your skill sets more prominently on your resume

Purpose of having this Webinar:
Many transitioning service members write their resumes in ‘TAPS’ classes.  Once they are out of the service, they often need to revise their objective and tailor their resumes to be more industry specific.
