# Military-to-Civilian Skills Translator
### A free worksheet from AdaptiveResume

> The goal is to TRANSLATE your real experience into civilian language — never to inflate it.
> Only write down what is genuinely true. You confirm every line.

## 1. Your role(s)

| Military title / MOS | Nearest civilian function (scope, not rank) |
|----------------------|---------------------------------------------|
|                      |                                             |
|                      |                                             |

## 2. What you were actually responsible for
(People led • equipment/budget owned • what you planned, coordinated, or maintained)

- People led / trained: ____________________
- Equipment / budget accountable for: ____________________
- Planned / coordinated: ____________________
- Standards or safety the job ran under: ____________________

## 3. Translate your duties (military phrasing → civilian phrasing)

| What you did (military) | Re-stated (civilian, same facts) |
|-------------------------|----------------------------------|
|                         |                                  |
|                         |                                  |
|                         |                                  |

## 4. Training & certifications — claim only what transfers

| Training / cert | Completed? (Y/N) | Civilian equivalent you actually hold |
|-----------------|------------------|----------------------------------------|
|                 |                  |                                        |

> Reminder: military experience can help you EARN a civilian license — it is not the same as holding it. Only list the civilian credential if you have it.

## 5. Quantify — truthfully
(Real numbers only. If you don't know it, leave it qualitative.)

- ____________________
- ____________________

## 6. The honesty check (do this before you send)
- [ ] Every line is something I actually did.
- [ ] I haven't claimed a civilian license/cert I don't hold.
- [ ] I translated to the *nearest honest equivalent* — no title inflation.
