AI: Military to Civilian Transition

In this episode of Job Talk with Jeannine, we’re tackling one of the biggest pitfalls facing today’s job seekers, especially those transitioning from the military into the civilian workforce. Titled “AI Resumes & Military Transition: Garbage In, Garbage Out,” this episode dives into the truth about AI-generated resumes and why relying solely on tech can actually hold you back.

Jeannine pulls from her own experience supporting military professionals and sheds light on the real challenge: if you don’t understand how to position your skills and experiences properly, even the most advanced AI tools won’t save your resume. From vague career goals to overused buzzwords, she unpacks the common mistakes that leave military resumes looking polished on the surface—but empty underneath.

You’ll discover why context matters more than formatting, how to avoid copy-paste career paths based on what worked for someone else, and what you should be doing to craft a resume that truly reflects your strengths. Most importantly, Jeannine offers actionable steps to help you clarify your direction, translate your military background into powerful civilian language, and use AI strategically—not blindly.

Whether you’re preparing for transition, feeling stuck with a generic resume, or trying to figure out where you actually fit in the civilian job market, this episode offers real talk and practical advice to help you move forward with confidence.
