Employers love to see any military experience on a resume. If he were looking for a job in security or law enforcement, I wouldn't be surprised if he got hired on the spot. He could make a killing as a pirvate security guard in Iraq (I think they start with six figures)

employers love to see military backround in general. He should probably clean the title up and instead say ammunitions specialist or something like it. Sniper makes you think he might come to work upset one day and you shoot everybody. Also make sure he focuses on the highlights of what that means and what it takes to be a sniper. It takes self discipline, attention to detail etc.. focus on positives and minimize negatives. This is also true for the Interview. Don't get into the good old days stories either.

It really depends on the job he is going for. If it is Law Enforcement, or that type of job yes? Maybe he should just put US Marine Corps then if he is asked by the interviewer what he did in the Marine Corps that is when he tells them that he was a sniper...

No!!!Definitely not. Just Marine Corpse. Thats all Human Resource requires for military service information. During an interview, just say combat squad leader, or leader of a combat unit or something like that. Being a sniper is a high level position for a combat marine, but nothing of importance to an employer.

Actually it depends upon what type of job he is applying for. However, if he is applying for a job in a corporation then when he writes his resume he should NOT say he was a military sniper, BUT he SHOULD say that he was in the military. Yes he can say his duties but tell him not to use the word sniper. However, if he is applying for a CIA position or a position on the SWAT team then yes he should write that he was a sniper.

Due to intense stupidity on the part of many civilians I say "Don't tell"
I was asked how many babies I had killed after putting Avionics Radio Repair on apps by 2 different women. One guy wanted to know what it was like to kill VC. Did not seem to matter to any of these idiots that the US Army did not conduct any combat operations during the years I was active.
If he is looking into Police work of some type then "Yes" by all means it is applicable.

depends on the job but I would say yes, the big point is to make it translate to the job- patience, focus, attention to detail, abilility to see things through, he has great skills he just needs to show they would be an asset to the company he is applying for.
