Question:
My question though is how do you all feel about listing military background/ experience when it doesn't really pertain to the job? I always list it to show that I can work as part of a team, or as a leader. I list what I did, rank, and any honors earned.
RedJen's Answer:
If it is within the last 10 years, I would list any miliary service. The further from the position you are applying for, the less details I'd include, but rank, time frame and branch at a minimum. While not directly relivent, it shows you can commit to something, work as a team, work within a system and have some leadership training.
