ReEntry Job Translator helps people returning home turn prison, jail, or program work into clean resume language: job titles, bullet points, skills, and career paths.
When I came home, I sat in front of a blank resume with 11 years of real work experience and no idea how to describe it. This tool is what I needed. I'm in your shoes. I know how it feels. I'm with you.
How can I say I worked as a houseman, a medical orderly, canteen worker, or education orderly?
We had some unique job titles, but the work was real.
Watch a 2-minute walkthrough of how ReEntry Job Translator converts institutional job experience into employer-ready resume language.
No login. No account. No judgment.
If you can fill out a form, you can use this tool.
Answer plain questions about your work — the role, how long you did it, your daily tasks, and whether you trained or helped others. No special words needed.
The tool maps your work to civilian job categories using the federal O*NET system — the same database employers use — and writes professional resume language you can actually use.
Copy the text, print it, save it as a PDF, or bring it to a case manager, workforce program, or job interview. It's yours to use however you need.
Work done inside institutions involves genuine skills employers care about — they just don't always sound that way on paper. This is where ReEntry Job Translator excels.
Institutional job titles don't translate to civilian hiring. The tool replaces them with language that fits a standard resume without mentioning incarceration.
Food service, maintenance, canteen, houseman, chief orderly — all involve skills employers actively look for. The tool names them clearly.
Most people spend hours staring at a blank resume. This tool gives you a starting point in minutes so you can spend your energy on applying, not writing.
The output won't mention incarceration. Whether, when, and how to disclose your background is entirely your decision — not the tool's to make for you.
Most hiring goes through automated screening before a human reads it. Translated resume language uses keywords that pass those filters so your application gets seen.
Beyond the resume, the tool suggests career pathways based on your experience so you can see what roles your background actually qualifies you for.
Every role — from maintenance to houseman — has professional language behind it.
