It was written up in the NY Times a few years ago but I just
came across it at the Austin Car Show: A FREE interactive resume writing,
business card generator, and job search app to support service members
transitioning into civilian life:
According to the NYT:
"Kevin Schmiegel, a retired Marine Corps lieutenant
colonel, had heard dozens of them from young veterans trying to sell themselves
to prospective employers. Acronyms. Jargon incomprehensible to civilians.
Puzzling explanations of military jobs. An inability, or unwillingness, to take
credit for awards, specialized training or even leadership positions. So he
decided to do something about it. As executive director of Hiring Our Heroes, a
U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation project that connects employers with
veterans, Mr. Schmiegel organized a team to create a program that could help
veterans translate their military experiences into easy-to-digest résumés"
