Frank Said:

What employment position do I qualify for with this resume and experience? Must make at least 34K annually.?

We Answered:

First -
Any HR person reading your Objective will not read past it. The phrase "further my career" means it gets filed in the trash!!!
All this objective says is what can you do for me.
Companies do NOT want to know what they can do for you. They want to know what you can do for them.

Second -
I think you could do well in an advertising agency - you have advertising, management, computer & graphic design skills - all necessary in the advertising world.


Third - making the resume better
Be specific about what computer applications you know - do not just say "variety of computer applications".

Separate out the different types of skills -
database & computer skills,
library skills,
customer service skills,
advertising skills.
Makes it easier to see.

And its not necessary to put ALL your skills into every resume. You have enough here to pick & choose what you put in. You must PERSONALISE each resume for each application.

There is no such thing as a general resume - and this is a very general resume. That means you are not trying hard enough, and tells the company that if you cannot be bothered to do a good job with the resume, then you probably wont do a good job if they hired you.

Let me see if I can rework this resume for you.
Here you go.

EDITED RESUME
I changed this from chronological format - which is what you have - to a functional formet which I prefer. You'll need to redo your objective.
Dont include the university education if you didnt actually graduate. It just tells the employer that you cant finish what you started.
I removed the library skills because they are not really relevant unless you are looking for a library or a legal research job. (And for those you need either an MLS or a paralegal certificate).

Hector Said:

What is a marketing and sales job?

We Answered:

This job basically translates to being a telemarketer or a door-to-door salesperson. The reason they make the job description so vague is because they need to. If they were upfront about what the job actually entails, no one would apply. I highly suggest not replying to this post, you'll just be severely disappointed.

High ASVAB Scorce, which USAF job should I choose?

We Answered:

Couple of ideas regarding your job criteria:
Overseas - maybe/maybe not. It depends on how you do in training/class ranking. Don't count on it because if you do you'll end up somewhere like Altus AFB in Oklahoma (enjoy that).
High Profile/Prestige - if this is a priority for you then don't join. People who show up looking to be noticed/advanced usually are just out for themselves and they get cr*pped on...as they should be. As junior enlisted for the first several years you will have neither a high profile nor prestige.
Education - While training no...working yes. You just have to manage the time for it and distance courses make it possible while deployed. Good luck trying to tell anyone that you MUST be in only one or two bases in the AF. You are owned and you will go where you are needed. If you can be reasonably accomodated you will be if you are liked by your leadership.
Real world job - If this is a priority for you then just go get one now. The AF doesn't need more people just using it as a stepping stone without truly desiring to serve.
Training/Schooling - You'll get your fill.
My suggestion is to pick something that you enjoy or life in the military will not be pleasant.
