Military conversion resumes are custom-written job search documents that attempt to analyze, translate, and highlight a client’s military duties, training, and positions into a presentation that will attract the greatest possible interest and interviews within the civilian economy.
The very first step in creating a successful military conversion resume is to gather all of the appropriate documents needed to be thorough, accurate, and comprehensive. First, if the soldier has been separated, he or she will usually provide you with the DD-214 separation document. This document is brief and not very helpful for writing purposes, but your awareness of it will tend to instill confidence in the client. However, the DD-214 form should be safeguarded by the client at all times, as it is the necessary proof that all active-duty service obligations are completed. Much more important than the DD-214, are the training records, fitness reports (annual performance evaluations), and related military documents that show the training courses and military employment chronology, along with detailed job descriptions.
