How to leave the military and find a good civilian job - step 1: VMET 

Obtaining your Veteran’s Military Experience Transcript (VMET) when transitioning out of the military offers valuable advantages. This document provides a comprehensive record of your military training, skills, and experience, making it an essential tool for securing civilian employment.

The VMET translates your military service into civilian-friendly terms, helping employers recognize the value of your background. It’s also useful for pursuing higher education, professional certifications, or apprenticeships, as it outlines the competencies and qualifications you’ve gained. Having this transcript readily available simplifies the transition process, making it easier to showcase your expertise and smoothly enter the civilian workforce.

 Your VMET document helps you prepare resumes and job applications quickly when you separate from Service, including:

• Gathers all reported demographic, training, and experience records in one place.

• Describes your Service occupations in civilian terms.
