If you’re returning to civilian life after military service, it’s important that your resume reflect the wealth of experience, training and education you acquired during your tour of duty and so can offer to the civilian employers to which you apply for work.

People in the military members are well trained, well-disciplined and usually able to work well in civilian teams because they have worked as both team leaders and team members during their time in the military. Most military members have also received specific training and worked in a given occupation that support civilian careers.

Unfortunately, most military personnel, even those with the skills and knowledge that could get them a civilian job in a heartbeat, don’t get that job because their resumes don’t present their skills in language that civilian employers understand.

Translating what you did during your time in the military into a civilian resume may not be easy.  You’ve gotten accustomed to describing jobs and skills using language that military ears understand.  The best advice is to find a resume writer to specializes in conversion resumes and plan to spend a few hours while your military experience is translated properly!
