Step 1: Define and Translate Your Skills
Employers cite that one of the biggest barriers to hiring veterans is in understanding how their military skills and experience translate into civilian terms. For future employees to know how valuable you are, you must describe your skills in language they can understand. In other words, you must translate your Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) into skills employers can recognize, appreciate and utilize. For help with this step, please visit one of the following websites.

Step 2: Create a Professional Resume
A resume is the sales brochure you use to "sell" your skills to a potential employer. It is a summary of who you are, your skills, career goals and professional accomplishments. Employers expect to be able to see a summary of your qualifications in a clean and concise presentation. Organizing all the great things you've achieved and the many skills you have to offer can be challenging, though.
