I have had the opportunity and privilege to work with many returning Veterans. As a writer with recruiting and military experience, I know that translating military-speak to the civilian world can be challenging.

There are many who recommend completely eliminating all references to anything outside the civilian world and just translating your skills. However, many of my clients want to utilize their inside knowledge and clearances to land positions with government contractors.The strategy then is to keep enough specific experience the resume to attract attention without overwhelming the reader with acronyms they may not understand. As always, your resume is not a static document and should be designed to be adjustable to each target opportunity.For a free evaluation and discussion on your specific situation, contact me at gary@garylouisnelson.com or at garylouisnelson.com
