Built from lived experience
Created by someone who needed this tool.
When I came home after nearly 12 years, I had years of real work experience, but had no idea how to explain it on a resume. ReEntry Job Translator was built to solve that problem.
Common questions
Before you start.
Is this free?
Yes. It is free for individuals. No account, no login, and no credit card required.
Will employers know I was incarcerated?
No. The output uses standard civilian job language and does not mention incarceration, facility names, or conviction history.
Do I need to create an account or log in?
No account. No login. No sign-up. You can use the tool completely anonymously.
Does this work for federal, state, and county convictions?
Yes. The translation tool works regardless of conviction type or facility. The resume output is the same standard civilian job language whether your experience came from a federal facility, state prison, county jail, or a residential reentry program
What if I don't have much work experience from inside?
That's okay. Even participation in GED programs, vocational training, peer support groups, religious programs, or educational coursework can be translated into resume-relevant language. The tool is designed to find value in experiences that might not look like "work" on the surface
What if I don't have much computer experience?
The tool was designed specifically for people who aren't tech-savvy. If you can fill out a form on your phone, you can use it. The questions are plain, the steps are clear, and there's no technical knowledge required. It works on any smartphone.
Can case managers use this with clients?
Yes. Staff can use it during resume labs, job readiness workshops, one-on-one coaching, or pre-release planning.
