🚨 Important Tip for Transitioning Military Members! 🚨 As you move from military service to civilian employment, here’s a crucial tip for your resume, job applications, and LinkedIn profile: 🔹DO NOT put the city/state where you want to live. 🔹DO list your current location and indicate that you are open to relocation or planning to relocate. Why is this important? When recruiters find out that your actual location is different from what you listed, it can lead to lost opportunities and frustration for hiring companies. Transparency about your current location, paired with a note on your willingness to move, ensures a smoother and more trustworthy hiring process. Best of luck in your job search, and thank you for your service! #TransitioningMilitary #JobSearchTips #VeteranEmployment #ResumeTips #LinkedInTips #MilitaryToCivilian #VeteranSupport Image by OpenClipart-Vectors from Pixabay

Instead, I always recommend to put your desired location on your linkedin profile and in your about section state "Currently resides in ___, relocating to ___ in ____."
