Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Persian Farsi Translator

Reading and listening to Persian Farsi at ILR 2+ for Fleet, National or Cyber missions provides source-language comprehension relevant to translation work.

How to prepare: Prepare a Persian Farsi-to-English translation sample using public material and have a qualified translator assess its accuracy and English writing quality, since the verified duties document comprehension rather than translation proficiency.

What the civilian work involves
  • Listen to speakers' statements to determine meanings and to prepare translations, using electronic listening systems as necessary.
  • Compile terminology and information to be used in translations, including technical terms such as those for legal or medical material.
  • Refer to reference materials, such as dictionaries, lexicons, encyclopedias, and computerized terminology banks, as needed to ensure translation accuracy.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Word
