Fictional translation example
Put your experience into civilian language
Think of this as a translation, not a script. This fictional example keeps the same work facts while replacing military jargon with clear civilian wording.
Before
Fictional example: In my Hospitality Specialist assignment, I [verified task] using [verified tool or record].
After

Why this wording is fair
