Separate your positions, describe the duties in terms that are more familiar to civilians, notably those in the civil service, and emphasize accomplishments, again adjusting the terminology as needed. List your rank, but describe yourself as senior supervisor or other similar language. List civilian degrees and add military training only as you think it relevant to the position.
I also recommend that you seek information and guidance from people in the agency to which you are applying, as they can provide additional pointers relevant to their agency.
I will provide a resume review for you if you so desire.

Kyle,

I highly recommend reaching out to Hire Heroes. They are incredible at helping create the perfect resume, they helped me out and helped me get my current job.

Hello Kyle,

Many resumes today are being filtered out by a software system that recruiters uses and never get seen.
My company do research and target specific jobs that you are wanting to get into and we write your resume to be ATS compliant so that it beats the filtering system and you get contacts and interviews. We recommend part career coaching and resume, a cover letter plus a Linkedin package to guide you directly into the sector that you want.

You can call what we do is recruiting from the outside in like a head hunter.

Please connect with me on Linkedin (linkedin.com/in/JuneWebb) to discover more about me connections and the people that I have worked with in career transitioning including executive level clients.

I’d suggest that you network at the target agency. Use LinkedIn to find people already working there and reach out to them. Ask them the process they used to get hired and ask them to help you navigate the hiring process and if they are willing, ask them to submit you as a referral. These activities require much more time on your part but in my opinion would greatly increase your chances for success. Good luck!
