Does military rank carry any weight on your resume after you leave the service?

As a veteran who did 4 years and got out as an E-4... I'd say I have not seen that it has made a whole lot of difference.\n\nHowever, I have mentioned that I had gone to the Army's Primary Leadership Development Training (Sergeant school).\n\nI also mentioned that as an E-4 I was placed as the temporary leader at times over others.... learned leadership training etc... That seemed to get their interview pens jotting furiously when I mentioned that. lol\n\nSo my guess is as an E-5 or higher, just the fact that you would be placed in charge of others is what is important and not the rank.

yes, all members of the united states service are considered veterans. but not all are entitled to benefits once released from the military.

You may want to take a look at the link below from the Department of Defense. It lays the ranks out in all branches side by side to compare. It may help you better understand just how much your brother has accomplished. As others have said, you should be very proud. And if he ever uses the term "Senior Chief" or "Master Chief" to describe himself, then know that he's ranked even higher. Either E-8 or E-9.

I stopped putting those little jobs on mine, and I don't think anyone cares.  (Having a lot there can make the resume hard to read, and bury the important work you've done.)\n\nMostly, employers are concerned with experience that actually relates to the job for which you're submitting the resume.\n\nUsually, if an employer wants a _complete_ job history (for government jobs, background checks, etc), they'll give you a separate form with plenty of legal language concerning the honesty of your answers.\n\nJust make sure you're completely honest about your work history when it comes time to sign forms.

you'll get new uniforms, but you'll have to pay for them... just like you had to pay for your uniforms when you first got your seabag in bootcamp.\nsince you got out, you won't be able to enter as a petty officer.  you'll probably be an e-3.

I am currently in the middle of hiring 5 new employees and I also live in an area with 3 bases so I can relate to your question. I think your military back ground is a plus and a minus for you. First and foremost military personal tend to have a higher sense of loyalty to their jobs and better discipline. I also find integrity of military to be a lot higher so I love having them as employees. On the down side I am concerned with call ups and deployments. There is an extreme shortage of manpower here in my area and I must have people that will be there.They can not be easily replaced. I need to be my employees #1 priority, behind family of course.

No, it puts a negative effect on your resume.

I would have to know exactly what you wanted to know.  There are several different sections on the ERB.  One shows when you were promoted to a certain rank, another shows all the duty stations you have been stationed at.  Another area shows if you have been stationed overseas and whether it was a long or short tour.  If you want to know something specific then you really need to ask the specific area you want to know about, but as the previous person said, your NCO should be able to answer the question for you.

Hell no.  Human Resource managers are looking for any reason to eliminate your resume.  Being fired looks really bad on your resume.  You better have a great reason for getting let go ("layoffs").  \n\nIf you leave the job off your resume entirely then you better have a good reason for the break in between jobs.  \n\nA person who is going to hire you will check previous jobs and referrences.  The old employers are not allowed by law to bad mouth you to a potential future employer.  They can only say things like "they were employed here, but they will not be considered for re-hire".  Your potential employer will be smart enough to read between the lines.\n\nGood luck!

You become AWOL and they look for you. Then you face court marshal and dishonorable discharge.  All bad for your record.  It is better to work out the problems with your senior officers.  Worst case is you could serve time in a military jail - not a cool place to be.

You know people who are actually already in the service are capable of crossing over to other branches, it happens all the time in the reserves. So I don't think you should have a problem doing so. The Marine recruiter will make it difficult no doubt but you should be able to...I'll be back. I'm gonna check something for ya...

You definitely should not leave it off of your resume.  Essentially, you're lying to future employers by leaving it off.  You are much much better off to put the job on there and explain the position you had with the company.  Employers don't want to hear excuses about not liking the job or hating someone you work with.  If a prospective employer finds out about the job you didn't list, it is going to be a huge mark against you.

Complete the college without doing the enlisted careers.  This will ensure you go to Officer Candidate School.  This will allow you to complete your college and get your bars before being deployed.  If you finish training in an area of need, you might be deployed earlier.  Focus on your task of completing college and OCS.

I am an Army officer that was commissioned through ROTC.  It has not hurt nor helped my career.  I feel that everyone has made an assessment on my performance not on what school I attended.  I have met both great and horrible West Pointer, ROTC cadets, and OCS grads.  I think there is very little difference at least through my present rank (captain).  This may change as I progress or perhaps the differences are a thing of the past.

Yes, but you'll have to get your GED.  After that, you'll have to pass the ASVAB test.  That will determine what job (MOS) you're qualified for.\n\nGo talk to the recruiter.  They'll help you get everything in order.  They can even help set-up the GED.\n\nGood luck!!

I was in the Navy.  But I'd say that things are probably pretty relevant across the armed forces.  Except maybe marines, that's like Armed Forces Extreme.  Who you are in general isn't going to change.  They will teach you a sense of team that you likely haven't encountered before.  I've never folded my clothing different since Boot Camp.  So I guess that changed.  You will learn many new things in a short period of time.  Your perspective will forever have a different slant but you as a person will not change completely.  You'll still like your bacon crispy, your mates blonde or whatever.  My sister was in the Air Force.  I think her uniforms were much neater than my Navy ones.
