Civilian recruiters may not recognize military job codes, acronyms, or equipment names. Explain the function of your work and the skills involved in terms a hiring manager can understand.
Put it into practice
- Replace unexplained acronyms with plain descriptions of maintenance, logistics, inspection, or team coordination.
- Describe your level of responsibility and the type of documentation or procedures you used.
- Ask how the employer evaluates prior experience and verifies any credentials needed for the role.
Make the next step count
Do not assume military training automatically satisfies every civilian qualification. Bring available records through the appropriate hiring process and ask which requirements still need to be met. Focus your introduction on the work you can demonstrate.
