Your resume should include key headings that give a brief detail of your work experience and what you have to offer a hiring company. You don't want to be too detailed to make it lengthy, nor should it be too short and not contain enough of the pertinent information needed. Keep it simple but be sure that it is job specific as the viewer may be seeking specific information for that field. If you are skilled for multiple fields you may need multiple resumes to fit those specific fields. Your resume should contain:

Name
Address
Email Address
Phone numbers(s)
Your objective
Experience
Education
Additional Training
Community
Awards
Licenses
Security Clearances
References

Your resume may include other headings as well depending on your previous history. Hiring a professional is the best way to go since they are skilled at the target areas on a resume. When hiring a service make sure that you choose one that is aware of today's market and offers a job search or other services.]]> http://www.milplace.com/anndanner/blog/what-goes-into-a-resume/ Sat, 26 Nov 2011 15:18:34 +0000 Ann Danner http://www.milplace.com/MedalsofAmerica/blog/many-veterans-suffer-from-post-traumatic-stress-disorder-a-disorder-that-ne/ Medals of America's Blog.

Post-Traumatic Stres...]]> Medals of America's Blog. It's a great read and a disorder that we all need to be aware of.


Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, is a very serious disorder that many of our veterans deal with in their lives. While this disorder isn’t always widely recognized, it is important that we support our troops and our veterans. Medals of America is doing its part to raise awareness and support this disorder by offering PTSD merchandise, including PTSD shirts, challenge coins and hats. All PTSD items are great for both active and retired military members helping let all of our soldiers know that they are supported.

While PTSD may not always be widely recognized as a disease or disorder, it is one that is very prevalent, as close to one-third of all soldiers returning home after war suffer from this disorder. Despite being angry, confused and even suicidal, many of these men and women refuse to seek help, as they are afraid it will be seen as a weakness or stigma. However, it is important to remember that it can be through the aid of friends, family, and military leaders that these individuals pull through and can begin the healing process. We all can play a role.

PTSD is a type of anxiety disorder that often affects people after they have witnessed or experienced a traumatic event that threatened them with injury or death. Victims of this disorder may suffer from flashbacks, nightmares, severe anxiety, confusion, guilt and anger—all of which may result in thoughts of suicide. Many cannot stop thinking about the traumatic event, or events, that caused the PTSD. The sooner PTSD is diagnosed and treated, the better.

Helping spread awareness about this disorder and how it affects our country’s military, Medals of America is trying to do its part through the distribution of PTSD merchandise. It is important for those suffering from PTSD to know that they are not alone. Additionally, to support Vietnam Veterans with PTSD, Medals of America donates a portion of every purchase made through their VVA Store to the Vietnam Veterans of America Headquarters in Maryland.

Aside from the political issues surrounding immigration, I will try to explain why allowing the immigration bills to pass would be a bad ... Just as many Islamic radicals have infiltrated our sovereignty by entering our country under false pretenses such as the 9-11 bombers did, The Mexican illegals have learned from that and attempting the same techniques. If you saw an Iranian Islamic radical terrorist entering the U.S. hidden in the undercarriage of a car would you be shocked and scared? Why not a Mexican National with evil intentions who could cause serious mayhem in the U.S. Yes, I know a dirty bomb would be more dramatic than getting our children hooked on drugs and killing a few rivals on our streets would, but only because cases like that don't make the headlines like a bomb would. I think that's only because we have become somewhat desensitized to drug dealers being killed in the streets as opposed to an Islamic terrorist planting a bomb in New York Square. If you don't think that will ever affect you, it will only be a matter of time if you succumb to political correctness and acceptance of outsiders. To address the human side of immigration, Yes. I believe that there are honest hard working Mexican nationals seeking U.S. citizenship that want to contribute to our society because I know a few. But, we cannot continue to fall for the same old sob story and be blinded by self righteousness and political correctness that endanger our American way of life to ease our conscience in the name of acceptance of other cultures and their ways of life.
OK folks before you start calling me a racist or prejudiced against Mexicans, I must state that I am of Mexican decent and 2nd generation American citizen sworn to defend the American way of life. I have chosen to defend the country I have integrated into as my parents have because the USA has provided us with a prosperous life as the U.S. Constitution states. I am just asking that you rethink the issue of politics and "acceptance" and "understanding" over national security and our way of life as our Constitution states it. Our Constitution has made us the most powerful and most desirable country on Earth. Now is no time time to compromise our principles for the sake of false principles of political correctness or politics.]]> http://www.milplace.com/txsgrunt/blog/the-immigration-issue/ Tue, 08 Mar 2011 04:13:30 +0000 txsgrunt http://www.milplace.com/OneWearySoldier/blog/read-my-blog/
To follow my blog you need to go to http://www.onewearysoldier.blogspot.com. I've written about many topics. I'm currently raging about service dogs and how difficult the VHA is making it for me and other Veterans not only to obtain one, but once you have one, to get the VHA to pay for its' care.

I've written about PTSD, MST, treatment of women Veterans at VA Hospitals just to name a few topics. To read the rest, go to my blog and browse it. You won't be disappointed. There's even a step by step guide there on how to apply for SSDI if you're eligible, based on my own experience.

Happy Holidays everyone. Wherever you are I wish you a safe, happy and healthy holiday season and a wonderful New Year. Thanks to all of you, my Sisters and Brothers for each and every day of your service, past and present. Whether you are still in uniform or not, doesn't matter. We all continue to serve.

Until the next time ....
