The corpus behind these examples

Public veteran resumes and portfolios · accessed September 7, 2026

Ten fictional people, twenty paired resume images. Each pair uses the same career history and changes one specific teaching issue. The before passages are deliberately flawed examples written for this workshop.

The career patterns draw on nine publicly posted veteran resumes and one veteran resume/portfolio. Candidate identities, dates, degrees, credentials, employers outside military branches, projects, and measurements are invented. The source histories have not been independently verified.

Microsoft role context

Role names give each example a discussion target. Applicants still need evidence against the required qualifications in the specific job posting. This workshop is not a Microsoft hiring rubric.

Resume formats

The centered Original format draws on the authorized Malachi resume. The navy, left-aligned Professional format follows the approved template work in OperationMOS PR #2338.
