Translate Your Military Skills into a Job Winning Resume

In this guide, you will learn what skills employers want, what military skills to share and see actual examples of resumes.

Interpersonal Skills

How we work with and communicate with people is often more important than the skill sets you initially bring to a new career.

Many employers love the direct and honest way veterans approach challenges.

Leadership

Learning to lead small groups is one of the first skills a soldier learns. This skill is valuable in a civilian career because you already have the capacity to supervise.

Technical

Serving your country gave you a host of skills that may not easily translate to civilian careers.

Breaking down your skills and then looking for those individual tasks will help you clearly highlight the benefits of hiring you.

Resume Tips

You get a host of tips on what to include and what not to include on your resume and how to structure it to make sure it gets noticed.
