I know professional resumes are very important in some careers, so I advise you all to check out the first site below. Search Google for tips on finding jobs in your profession. Tell everyone you know that you are searching for work. The more eyes looking for you, the better. If you have questions, remember that someone on FR.com DOES KNOW THE ANSWER. So don't be embarrased to ask for assistance!

I recommend that you read through the previous “Are you looking for a job?” threads for tips and ideas. I have gathered all the resources from them to this thread.
Are you looking for a job? (Thread #1)
Are you looking for a job? (#2) Expanded list! (Thread #2)
Are you looking for a job? (#3) [A Nice List] (Thread #3)
Are you looking for a job? (#4) [A Better List] (Thread #4)
Are you looking for a job? (#5) [Look here first!](Thread #5)
The more precisely you planned your future, the harder that your temporary unemployment will hit you. Flexibility must be the order of the day to maintain a healthy attitude.

I didn’t read all the links.
Its also wise to tailor a cover sheet that shows your interest in the particular Company you are applying to.
In this economy, it's especially important to demonstrate the capacity to market yourself to what employers are looking for and differentiate yourself from other candidates at the same time.
For any of you who have the added burden of looking for a job at this time of year, my heart and prayers go out to you.
That is an excellent point one of which is often overlooked. Taking 15-20 minutes to read a company's website, look at their last profit statement or press release and incorporating that into a cover letter shows an active interest in the company and what it does.

I have seen people who were “hand picked” by the dept who is hiring, get thwarted when the resume is routed to HR.
It’s a sad situation that the gatekeepers are clueless as to the needs of the company.
That being said, There are ways around these things, And your suggestion is on of them.

I've never been in the military, but I'll tell you this: when I've run across guys like you and I've been in a position to hire, I'd hire you in a heartbeat.
Didn't matter to me if you have 70% of the skills I was looking for or 100%. I knew guys like you had great foundations to build on, would learn what was required quickly and typically had great work ethics.
My sincere thanks to you for your service to our country.
You have to sell your skills as well as your enthusiasm!
Tailoring the resume a bit adds interest.
You can use a basic template for this, just change the players and the mission statements and skill sets as required.
Always close with how you look forward to working with this “Team” etc. Corporate loves that stuff. L0L
