Important Resume Tip and Certifications


If you're in transition, please be sure to research jobs in your field for required certifications, and use this time to obtain them. For example, DOD IT positions all require reg. 8570 IAT/IAM certs. Certifications can act as gatekeepers and often are what get your resume "pulled" in recruiter keyword searches and ultimately, get your resume reviewed.
