Hello, I'm getting out of the Air Force and I'm trying to take advantage of DOD Skill bridge which is a 6 month internship my last few months before leaving the military and transiation into Info Security/Information Technlology. I know while I'm not posting for an actual job I'm hoping people in the industry can help me tailor my resume to help get hiring a recruiters attention.

#

Im aware the format is kind of messed up but they are in alignment on the original resume

Do you think it's a good idea to remove the summary since I'm trying to change careers and I don't have a lot of IT work in the since of working since Civil Air Patrol isn't a job per se or do think it's wasted space?

yeah its more wasted space than anything

#

like ofc if you apply to something u want the job, and you show your prev exp already

#

as you are changing jobs, thats why u need to switch towards tech skills rather than your airforce exp

Should I change the interests to projects or do you think that's section is pointless?

stiff reef
#

yeah u dont need an interest section

If your going specifically for IT then I would focus more on getting certs like A+, network+, etc. than projects

Yeah, this is mostly a CS server, so most of the advice will lean more towards software development / engineering - which is why the initial advice you got was “you need projects”

Not sure if ppl here can help with IT roles, those are a bit different. Sorry
