Keywords we build into your resume automatically

Most employers use resume-screening software (an ATS, or applicant tracking system) that searches for job-related words before a person ever reads your resume. We work the right ones in for you, using only what you actually did. Your report also lists them for your LinkedIn profile.

A note from the founder

I served on active duty in the U.S. Air Force from 2001 to 2009 as a 2W0 Munitions Systems specialist and a C-130 Loadmaster. I didn't work Structural, so this page leans on O*NET and BLS data rather than my own memories. The problem is the same, though: your experience is valuable, and it has to be written in the civilian employer's language.

Questions veterans ask

Do I list my AFSC on a civilian resume?

Lead with a civilian title, such as Carpenter, and add a secondary line like 'Military title: Structural (3E3X1)'. Recruiters search civilian titles; the AFSC helps veteran-friendly employers and federal HR.

What civilian jobs fit 3E3X1 best?

O*NET maps 3E3X1 to 34 related civilian occupations. The closest matches include carpenters, structural iron and steel workers, and welders, cutters, solderers, and brazers.

How many Airmen work in 3E3?

The Air & Space Forces Magazine 2025 Almanac lists 1,545 Total Force enlisted Airmen in 3E3 (Structural) as of Sept. 30, 2024, which makes it one of the largest enlisted specialties. That's a lot of veterans competing for the same civilian roles, so a clear translation matters.
