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 .
