Transform Your Military Experience into a Competitive Federal Resume

There are great civilian job opportunities for veterans in the US government. Veterans get preference in federal hiring, plus they already have their security clearance. Also, their recent military experiences match current government priorities, especially at such agencies as the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense branches.

What veterans need is a guide for navigating the complex federal hiring processes. One of the biggest difficulties facing military personnel is translating your highly technical skills into language suitable for federal job applications. In this informative Military to Federal Career Guide, Kathryn Troutman maps out the terrain and introduces a federal resume format designed to highlight all that veterans have to offer employers.
