"• Took charge of the division’s training program, transforming the command’s vision into a vibrant program. Ensured that the divisional training plan benefited everyone in a 21-man division, regardless of experience level."
Too general. What does vibrant mean. Exactly how did the training transform into performance?
--- End quote ---
My Chief wrote that statement on an evaluation after I started to give training in the department. How I understood it is that my training benefited everyone regardless of of their experience. It was a vibrant program because it was alive and existed more than just in the class room setting. We trained on every inch of that Engine Room and its operations.
It transformed into performance by increasing the qualification and operation knowledge of the mechanics on the boat. We also had competitions to create the best power point presentation.
I always thought it sounded awesome how he wrote that on the evaluation. However; I can understand how an outsider who wasn't there might not be able to envision a machinery division being excited over training.
Training is just what I do. I either strive for more knowledge for myself or try and give it to others. I can remove that line if you suggest and put something else there... I'll post my other resume below that I was using before this one.
PS> I don't mind harsh criticism. In the end I just want to get back into nuclear power.

Get someone who knows nothing military to read this and identify your jargon. What's it mean to qualify subs? Honor man?
Also, it's a grammatical mess. Random capitalization, missing commas, etc...
Resume's need to be 100% factual. I'm not saying you didn't prove your ability on a ton of valves and save an Obama-term of money, but you should make sure this is something you can defend and not just feed out navy eval lingo.
You made a vibrant program? Just tell me what you did and if you were rewarded for it, I nor anyone else care about how awesome your self assessment is.
If this is draft 1, then it's a start. If you have been submitting this, then STOP and get it reviewed by some other people first. Please.
Also, google some other resumes and look at different formats and steer this boat away from the Navy eval that it looks like I am reading.
good luck!

What exactly were your accomplishments:
Example:
Supervised 20 individuals of which 11 were promoted to leadership positions vs a Navy wide average of 6.
Yours is too generic.
Evals are NOT ways to sell yourself to an employer.
Rennhack:
Normally I would suggest you post you resume in the job board... you know.. that's whats its here for.
However, it seems that you are getting some very good resume advice that could benefit us all.
Perhaps we should all take a turn posting our, and letting the guys destroy it! If the resume can survive THIS peer review, it is golden.
