Master Class: Checklist Resume for Spouses

"This is one of the best sessions I have ever attended that focuses on improving your resume."

"I joined the class as Military.com's MSEP Specialist. Great information. I hope many other spouses were able to benefit from it. Jacey is an amazing speaker, and I am glad our community has her as a support!"

After three moves, a military spouse's resume does not look like the average job applicant. Even if you are the most awesome worker ever, a choppy resume makes recruiters hesitate to offer you the job. How can you show your best work self to a new employer?

In this 60-minute master class for spouses, you will learn how to overcome the resume and find the work you deserve.

1. Tell a cohesive story. Spouses usually come to me with a wide array of skills they have learned at school, on the job, in volunteer work, and on individual projects. Let me show you how to weave those into a single cohesive narrative that will capture the recruiter.
2. Spouse status does not belong on a resume because it is not a work skill. If you want to capture any military spouse recruiters out there, I'll show you how to fix your LinkedIn profile to reveal exactly the right info.
3. Use a keyword extractor to identify the skills employers want most. You probably have many of them; you are likely using the wrong words to describe them.
4. We live in a time of evolving spouse programs. I've got all your best opportunities right here—especially for hybrid or remote work.
