I got the following message and attachment from our Marine for Life listservice today, thought I'd attach it here. Looks helpful to me. It has many guidelines for preparing a resume for civilian jobs, for example; converting military experience into civilian language, cover sheets etc...

"Marines,
An awesome resume resource from the folks at Recruit************* . They assembled this document in collaboration with some of our retired Marine Generals.

Please pass along to anyone you know who might benefit from it as well..."

[lovdog]

A lot of things to consider here. If most are in the MC for their four year run, you are trained in one or a number of MOS's. If you can use these skills on the "outside" thats great. Unfortunately, not all get the ability to jump into a similar role that the service provided them. Thats the beauty of continued education at a reduced cost (sometimes free) that being a veteran provides. Use it !
Its sometimes difficult to impress on someone who is in their mid twenties how important it is to try to pick a career (not just a job) that will sustain a good wage and benefits along with a substantial retirement once they hit the ripe years of life.
Job hunting is only the beginning of the journey - selling yourself and landing the job are sometimes the most difficult. There are times that just having been a Marine on your resume will impress an employer to give you the green light. Othertimes - it will be like pulling teeth to convince someone that you can do the job and will be a loyal employee.
There are opportunities all over this country and overseas, but you have to consider sometimes whether you enjoy the sun of the south or west, cold weather in the north or hot/cold of the east and midwest, whether you like city or country life, crowds or no people for miles! Brick split level or shack with a barn? Continue military life as a Reservist or National Guard possibly ? So many choices to make and sometimes hard to make up your mind on exactly what kind of job or career to pursue.
I wish you all good hunting and hopefully "bag the big one (career)" and hopefully make some excellent choices for your life.

they will make a lot more than the MPs do, that is messed up

[Marine1955]

When did a Marine get paid the same as a civilian? Right never. I got 278 dollars when I join the corps and I didn't complain about getting paid the same as a civilian.mech when I was doing the same as he was. It's never going to be the same. It's just like life you deal with what your dealt and you ADAPT AND OVER COME .

Thats pretty wierd, are they "Certified" LEO? If not then thats jacked up to all hell, I couldn't imagine a Civilian Sub contracted rent-a-cop arresting Marines on a Marine Corps. base.

[awbrown1462]

are they Contracters or Dept of the Navy On Army bases they have DOA guards and contract guards DOA guards can give tickets inpound your car and stuff like that on some bases they do the duties of the MPs the contractors can not do any of that

[Vandrel]

Anyone looking to do some contracting, I work with Cubic Corporation, great pay and benifits. Right now Cubic holds a large majority of USMC contracts ranging from defense systems to simulations and training as well as logistics and management.

Good afternoon Marines,

Sign up on Linkedin and put a profile together and start networking. Search to see how many fellow marines you know and get connected with them as this will allow you to search 3 levels into your network. This is a great resource to find jobs and get yourself connected directly to hiring managers within companies.

Here is what a profile would like like (mine)

http://www.linkedin.com/in/rickporter2

I use this as a recruiting tool to find people and always give my fellow former Marines preference and coaching to help them interview and land the job.

Once you have a profile on Linkedin you can ask people for recommendations from each of your jobs you list and those recommendations can be read by others depending on your profile settings.

This is a great networking tool and free to sign up so take advantage of it!

I would stay away from half of the sites listed on top. They will usually get you into their "business" which are pyramid schemes. Got held up in one and they put me into an autoship without telling me. Took out 500 dollars from my card the day after I joined. Make sure it is a legit job before you end up like me. For some of the other sites that network each other. Looks ok. Also, the government jobs that ask for your MOS to give you a job most likely they only offer jobs to your MOS meaning if you got it because you didnt like your job, you are probably back to your MOS doing the same thing over again so it is equivalent to re-enlisting. Right now, I am still in the search for a job, school money helps though.

[Vandrel]

L3 and Cubic, can't stress that enough

[Wolverine1971]

Stay away from which sites at the top? Monsterboard, Careerbuilder, Hotjobs? I'm a corporate recruiter and we use those to post real jobs with very high paying salaries and benefits so it's not the...

Finally got a job afterbeing unemployed for four months. Sadly its for $5/hr less an hour. I barely make $100 more than what I use to on unemployment. If it wasn't for the Post 9-11 GI Bill, I wouldn't be able to pay my bills and support my family.

[Vandrel]

Congrats^ and have you went to the VA for disability? VA pays all my bills :D

Yes. i get 20% since 2008. I tried to get 30% but because I didn't seek treatment for something ever in the military they won't budge on it.

Has anyone ever checked into this? I noticed the FY numbers are getting smaller for quotas to fill. Will they phase this out?

[Vandrel]

I doubt it, the Marine Corps Police on base here are always growing and taking over more and more positions from the MP's. If anything they are expanding. Their classes still look pretty large over at the Staff Academy.
