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 Fire Protection, 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 Firefighter, and add a secondary line like 'Military title: Fire Protection (3E7X1)'. Recruiters search civilian titles; the AFSC helps veteran-friendly employers and federal HR.

What civilian jobs fit 3E7X1 best?

O*NET maps 3E7X1 to 15 related civilian occupations. The closest matches include firefighters, first-line supervisors of firefighting and prevention workers, and emergency medical technicians.

How many Airmen work in 3E7?

The Air & Space Forces Magazine 2025 Almanac lists 2,889 Total Force enlisted Airmen in 3E7 (Fire Protection) 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.
