Seabee Son needs help with Military Conversion Resume'

It has been a very long time since we communicated. A lot happened since then---some very upsetting. My Seabee Son, Jarod hit an IED while driving his MRAP in Afghanistan. He was injured but thank God alive. Anyway, he returned home and is going through a lot of therapy both physical and mental. He is applying for some Federal jobs that are available around his area where he lives. What I need to ask is where can he get assistance to have someone do his Military to Civilian Conversion Resume? He asked me to do it. I am so far away and just really lost with taking on this task. My Seabee Son doesn't like to ask for assistance of any kind except on rare occasions  from family.

I can compose great civilian resume's but have no idea how to incorporate all his accomplishments or KSA's--Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities.-----(A KSA is a specialty essay that is required in most federal government resume writing. Usually these KSA’s are rated on a ten point scale, and are used to separate the good candidates from the best candidates.) into his resume'. He is at a 10 point scale because of many awards, one of which is the Purple Heart.

Can anyone advise me how to assist him with all the resources and tools available for him to accomplish an excellent Military Conversion Resume? There has got to be a program or several to assists Veterans in this. I don't even know how to begin to take on this sort of project.

Thank you so much for any assistance you can give,
Donna

Donna - I'm sorry to hear about your son accident.  God bless him!  

Per the resume, he needs to go to the Disabled American Veteran (DAV) for assistance.  They are extremely good with this.  They will assist him in getting his VA disability benefits along with helping him find a job. He might want to go find a Federal job, since all of his military time will count towards retirement.  Their website is:  http://davwi.org/jobs/

He will probably need assistance with explaining what his rating was, so he can go to the following to get the civilian wording.

Again, God bless your son!

I also want you to join this website.  Dave_M works in the VA as a disability rating specialist.  He knows his stuff.  I've known him for years.  He knows all the places you need to be going.  

Understand, this website is mainly for veteran, please let them know that you're a mom, and explain your sons background.  Sometimes Vets come across the wrong way because we usually don't sugarcoat things, we just speak the facts and run with them.  I bet they can help you alot!
