Helipilot PTK Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Would anyone be willing to review my WOFT resume? I don't have much experience in leadership etc (being a 20 year old civilian), so I did my best with my current history. If you are willing to, I have a few questions we can talk about over PM. Quote
Lindsey Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 I'm no Warrant Officer, but I'll gladly give it a look. Quote
yakfishr19 Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 If you need any more constructive criticism I will look at it just send me a PM Quote

Helipilot PTK Posted August 20, 2012 Author Posted August 20, 2012 By the time you are 20 if you don't have experience in leadership you ignored a lot of opportunities. I mean nothing compared to leading a squad of soldiers etc. Lindsey and drhill(Purdue) PM sent. Added. What type of leadership experience would you expect someone of my age to have? I steadily held two jobs since highschool, training new employees, managing money etc. I help out at my flight school whenever possible with rides and anything else they need. What type of leadership experience did you have at my age, if you don't mind me asking? Quote
aeroscout Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Scouting. Neighborhood watch. Big Brothers. Student Council. Charities. Sports teams. Extra Curricular clubs. Church leadership. Even dare I say politics ? Just to name a few. Quote
Helipilot PTK Posted August 20, 2012 Author Posted August 20, 2012 That is a very impressive list. However, would you put all of that experience on a resume for WOFT? I have been active in church and sports for most my life, but would not know how to present this on a resume. I never held a leadership position though, I was active in sunday school and discussions amongst others in the class etc. Quote

Name of office held, and dates of office held. Any accomplishments while in office absolutely. Quote
Helipilot PTK Posted August 20, 2012 Author Posted August 20, 2012 I will start looking into getting involved with charitable or volunteer organizations. Your accomplishment have me motivated. Quote
helistar Posted August 20, 2012 Posted August 20, 2012 Depending on your level of involvement any of the following could be considered leadership experience... active in your local church activities? participated in high school sports? currently or previously involved in community service such as volunteering at the local senior center, hospital or church? amateur or professional racing experience in which you represented sponsors? any mentoring of younger students? summer camp leadership? shift leader at work? It's important to list all of your leadership rolls since it shows a long history of leadership and willingness on your part to accept the additional responsibility associated with being a leader...

Yamer Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Participation in sports can show you are an outstanding peer leader amongst your team and possess the ability to work together to achieve a common goal (beating the other team)... Quote
01CelicaGTS Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 I'm trying to put together my resume too, and I'm not sure how to structure it. I have a very recent one that I edit for civilian jobs. I don't know if I should just tweak it or make a new resume. My current one has a lot of numbers (measureable results, such as, "led a team to increase credit card sales by 230%") and achievments. Should I just list my duties and leadership roles? Quote
Lindsey Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 I would say pointing out measurable results is almost always a good thing. In my opinion, keep it. Feel free to send me a PM and I can look it over if you'd like. Quote
Helipilot PTK Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 Lindsey gave me some awesome advice on mine, I would take her up on that offer. It showed me that I need to get me my college edumucation, thats the right speling write? 2 Quote
DC8488 Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 thats the right speling write?Your write their 2 Quote
yakfishr19 Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 So I just found on my resume that I misspelled one word and put "helped managed" instead of helped manage will this count against me on the USAREC board? Should I get it changed asap? Quote
Yamer Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 Uh yeah but i wouldnt point it out... Just ask to submit an updated resume to replace the other one is what i would do Quote
