This Vols4Vets.com page keeps current links, phone numbers and source notes for the book chapter.

Official-source caution: Vols4Vets.com is a routing companion to the book. Official agencies, crisis lines, providers and program pages control action, eligibility, deadlines, phone numbers and forms.

Who this helps

Transitioning service member, veteran, spouse helper.

Best first step

Use DOL VETS and CareerOneStop to translate experience before spraying applications everywhere.

What to gather

MOS or AFSC, performance bullets, certifications, locations and target job family.

Safety notes

  • Do not submit a resume full of military terms a civilian hiring manager will not recognize.
  • Do not assume a rank or job title translates on its own without explaining the actual work.
  • Do not wait until you need a job to start building your civilian resume.
