I am a military professional. How do I communicate my skills to potential employers? By Anne McKinney, Prep Publishing I am presently in the military. I will be getting out within the next two years. My question is, how do I communicate the skills I have learned from being in the military? A military professional needs to have his or her skills “translated” into “civilian language” so that people will understand what you did. Make sure your resume “translates” your experience into plain English without acronyms like “battalion, brigade, petty officer, deployment” and so on. In the cover letter accompanying that resume, hit the employer with three key points you wish the employer to know about you. For example, “While serving my country in the U.S. Army, I was promoted ahead of my peers to supervisory roles in which I managed up to 120 people in dozens of career specialties.” Prep-Pub.com (Opens New Window) Source: Prep Publishing DISCLAIMER: The opinions of the authors are not necessarily the opinions of this web site or its parent company.
