Fictional translation example
Put your experience into civilian language

Before
Fictional example: In my Biomedical Equipment Technician assignment, I [verified task] using [verified tool or record].
After

Why this wording is fair

Perform preventive maintenance or service, such as cleaning, lubricating, or adjusting equipment.
Use the pattern, not the sentence: keep it only when the same facts are true for you.
