Writing my Army-LEO resume. Tips?

Do you have a college degree of any sorts. Volunteer work usually helps as well.
Out of curiosity, it doesnt sound like you are POST certified. Is this dept. hiring non POST candidates and sending them through an academy?
Good luck to ya. The hiring process is rough so don't get discouraged.

I don't have any degrees. I do have a considerable amount of volunteering time at my church, where they have me doing security/first aid kind of things. The departments that I am talking to will send recruits to the academy, and told me that they actually prefer new recruits over cops that are trying to switch departments.

Tip(s): (I have no .mil experience beyond movies and video games though my Father did serve, so can't help you there. However, I can help you in other aspects...)

- Don't lie/over exaggerate qualifications, etc.
- Don't use college words, express everything in short concise sentences... pull out the college words in the interview
- Format, grammar usage, spell check religiously....
- Get rid of any stupid cover letters, "Objectives", etc and don't make your resume longer than three pages. They see that crap it goes into file 13 unread.

Hirer's used to be really big on the MLA format, and some preferred the Chicago style, but in todays more "user friendly" (read: dumbed down) world, they usually want to see a short concise summation. They'll get the rest of the info in the interview if they think you're worthy to look into.

Those are the biggies I can think of off the top of my head. Time to go teach...
