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 Religious Program Specialist assignment, I [verified task] using [verified tool or record].
After
Fictional example: Supported [civilian work area] by [verified task] using [verified tool or record].
Why this wording is fair
Develop or direct study courses or religious education programs within congregations.
Operate office machines, such as photocopiers and scanners, facsimile machines, voice mail systems, and personal computers.
Use the pattern, not the sentence: keep it only when the same facts are true for you.
