Soldier in Jersey

Hello all,

My name is SFH. I'm a Soldier in the Army Reserves and have recently ended my seasonal retail gig. There's no way in hell I'm only worth $12 an hour, and all though I love the Army, one weekend a month is all they can afford. Uncle Sam has budgets too... I want to capitalize on my savvy, intelligence, and interest in the markets. Im a quick learner, you sort of have to be in the Service. I reside in central New Jersey and am looking for an opportunity at some good work where I can learn, contribute, and point myself towards success. Let's see where employment in the financial industry goes. Please feel free to send me a tip or some advice. I've attached my CV here, for you nob-crooks out there looking for a freaking 'go getter' with a security clearance. I wish you financial professionals the best of luck out there.

-F

Hey SF welcome and thanks for your service. Before you do anything else - you should scrub your name and personal details off your resume and this post. ASAP.

Maximum effort.
 

You have no education and your last +5 years of experience has been in retail. It's just not marketable for the jobs you're probably interested in. You need to use your benefits and go to school.

 

How can someone who once held a TS clearance be that careless posting that much PII on a public forum?

Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.
