Military-to-Federal Résumé Checklist.
One page · ten items · Musterbridge ed. v1.
What is on the page
Ten items. One translation table.
Each row is the same check Musterbridge students run against their own résumés before submission. Order matters — left-to-right mirrors the order HR reads a submission.
MOS / rating to occupational series
25B · 25S · 25Q · 25U · 25W to GS-2210 — the mapping HR panels actually read at the GS-5 to GS-11 boundary.
Action verbs from your NCOERs
Pull the verbs your rater wrote first — they encode the scope you fill in next, which is what HR sees when they skim.
USAJOBS specialized-experience rewrite
A bullet per evaluated element, in the same order as the announcement. No narrative sprawl, no broken-KSA rejections.
GS-grade decoding
Pick the lowest grade you qualify for. Lets your narrative land instead of being time-clipped by specialized-experience year-counts.
Leadership language translation
Squad leader to Supervisory IT Specialist. Platoon sergeant to Lead IT Specialist at the GS-11 / 12 boundary.
Clearance + cert surfacing
Top-most header position so the HR screener spends five seconds on the right thing: clearance, COMPTIA Sec+, ITIL, CCNA — in that order.
