We know that military spouses volunteer at a very high rate. Volunteering isn't just a great way to support the community, it's also a great way to learn and hone important job skills.

What if you could take your volunteer experience and the skills you gained and turn them into career skills on a resume? Well, now you can. Blue Star Families has created a resume builder to help you get started, sponsored by the Military Spouse Business Alliance.
