The Career Compass assessment translates your entire record — every MOS, deployment, award, and school — into a civilian resume, target job list, and job search plan. Free to start, no credit card.

How to use your MOS translation on a resume

  • Use the civilian job title in your resume headline — not your MOS code. Recruiters search job titles, not 88M.
  • Keep the code in parentheses once, if you're targeting defense contractors who recognize it.
  • Lead every bullet with the outcome and a number: what you managed, improved, or prevented.
  • Drop acronyms. If a hiring manager outside the military wouldn't know it, spell it out or cut it.
  • Mirror the exact skill words from the job posting so applicant tracking systems match you.

Pilot version. Civilian titles are starting points, not official DoD crosswalks — your actual duties matter more than your code. More resources for veterans.
