Applying for a job with military experience can be a struggle, as you may not be sure how to translate your military background into skills that will impress an employer. Start by translating your military experience into civilian language to show employers you have key skills like leadership, teamwork, dedication, and a good work ethic. Supplemental sections for honors, additional training, and technical skills you learned in the military can also help to strengthen your resume. When you compose your resume, make sure you use a clear, concise structure so employers can understand your value as an employee.
