Quick Chart for Civilian Employers to Translate Army Rank and Responsibility

Military to Civilian Transition

Lost in the translation in hiring veterans, especially those of the Army (and by extension of mentality the Marine Corps) is what value they bring to an organization. With military jargon, military occupational specialties (MOS), rank and responsibility, what is lost on potential employers looking for talent may mean the difference between hiring from one of the most skilled and disciplined pool of applicants or not. This posting will give a quick (and very general) overview of why Army leaders, both officer and non-commissioned officers regardless of job held in the Army (or Marine Corps) are potentially the fit your firm is looking for. This chart will give a brief overview of rank, hierarchy, and things to look for when interviewing a candidate or searching Veteran resumes.
