Transitioning from military service to the civilian workforce can be challenging, but your military experience is a great asset if framed correctly on a resume. Here are some quick tips for service members and military spouses when building your resume: 🌟 1. Translate Your Competencies into Civilian Terms Avoid Military Jargon: Civilian employers may not understand military acronyms, ranks, or terms. Translate your skills and experiences into plain language. 💡 Example: Instead of "Platoon Sergeant," say "Team Leader/Supervisor." Instead of "Conducted air assault operations," say "Led complex logistical and operational planning." 🌟 2. Highlight Transferable Skills Many skills gained in the military, such as leadership, teamwork, discipline, problem-solving, and decision-making, are highly valuable in the civilian workforce. 💡 Example: Emphasize skills like "Project Management," "Leadership of Cross-functional Teams," "Crisis Management," and "Risk Assessment." 🌟 3. Quantify Your Achievements Use metrics to show the impact of your work. This helps employers see the tangible value you bring. 💡 Example: "Managed a team of 20 personnel, reducing response time by 30% during crisis situations." NC4ME is dedicated to assisting all Veterans, Transitioning Service Members, Guard/Reserve Members, and Military Spouses find meaningful careers.
