LinkedIn continues to improve veteran job matching

The new Military Skills Translator tool automatically converts your military job codes and experience into civilian terminology that recruiters understand.

How It Works

Go to your LinkedIn profile, click Edit, and select the new Military Experience section. Enter your MOS, rate, or AFSC, and LinkedIn will suggest civilian job titles and skills that match your background.

The tool also flags companies that have signed the Hiring Our Heroes pledge, making it easier to find employers actively recruiting veterans.

Getting Started

The feature is available now for all LinkedIn members. Premium subscribers get additional matching with recruiters who specialize in veteran placement.

Update your profile today to take advantage of this new tool before the end-of-year hiring surge.
