Military jargon needs to be replaced with civilian - friendly language.
Not exact matches
Entering the civilian workforce after 10 years in the Army, I
needed someone who could quickly transcribe
military jargon into terms employers could understand and be drawn to.
Thus they often apply for government positions with private industry resumes that are too short, too dense, too filled with
military jargon, and too lacking in an emphasis on the skills and experience federal HR
needs.
This means you
need to figure out your transferable skills, focus on accomplishments, and put your resume into language that is easy to understand for someone not familiar with
military terminology (basically, don't use too much
jargon).
