As a former or current member of the armed forces, you have already demonstrated personal dedication, perseverance and strong commitment to your country. Today, the US government is better prepared than ever to offer you new, economically competitive civilian employment opportunities. Whether you’re an officer, bookkeeper, aircraft repairman, supply clerk or administrative officer, the federal government may have the right job for you.

Professional Resume can create great Military to Civilian and Military to Federal Resumes.

First you will need a “military to civilian” or  “military to federal resume.” This resume style includes details of military experiences and duties, ranks, military operations and campaigns, specific training and certifications, security clearance levels, awards and honors, projects and accomplishments.  The resume is usually anywhere from 10 – 25 pages and also may include a KSA – Knowledge, Skill and Abilities that may be 10 – 15 pages.

Many military veterans find the resume-writing process difficult. In a recent class, soldiers at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center were interviewed about the hardest parts of writing good resumes.  They are:

  •     Telling a good story.
  •     Bragging about yourself.
  •     Unlearning what you already know about resume writing.
  •     Describing your work in detail.
  •     Explaining the challenges of work experiences.

It is critical that you meet stringent requirements for your resume and KSA to be reviewed and ‘accepted’ .
