Is there a website that you can just type in your MOS and it brings up related civilian jobs?

There are several of them actually.

This one is from military.com and is pretty good. If this one doesn't work for you, please let me know and I'll send more over when I'm home later today.

There are sites out there for MOS translation, but, don't forget all of the other skills that you have for great jobs. For example, I was a Cavalry Scout, but because I had 8 years of experience with communication experience, I qualified for a great paying job as a Communications Technical Specialist in the Defense Industry

SGT Pedersen, Sir, I think that would be of real help to our Veterans, Other comments say that there already is such listings on the net, however, when I returned home there was NO home PC's to be found.. I was lucky that G. Motors found and hired me.. Now if I could have found a job relating to my MOS, Radio Communications, I would have jumped on it..

What a lot of service members fail to recognize in the transition is that their resume needs to be corporate friendly. So. When you are writing your resume and using these job translators, take the information and go a step further. Write your military experience so it looks like corporate experience. Because that is what your competing against. Kids that never served but have 4-6 years in corporate America ahead of you. And recruiters and hiring managers can't understand how a fire team leader or squad leader or comms specialist applies to the job they have posted. It's a bit painful, but it's important.

VECI its a part of E-Benefits. When you type in your MOS and a Zip or Location it will give you jobs listed in those areas.

My non-profit website "LINKS FOR MIL\RET\VETS" at http://www.hostmtb.org contains links to many online resources for veterans, retirees and active duty personnel. The website has a webpage that's devoted to links to veterans jobs related websites. There are mailing lists which may be useful to all current and former military personnel. There is a schedule which lists worldwide events such as retiree appreciation days, town hall meetings, stand downs, etc. Please check out the website to see if it's helpful. Also, let me know if there are any other useful links that should be added to the website. Thanks!
