Leaving Military- how to reflect experience in CV?

[TheFungle]

After 10 years in the RAF as an Electronics Tech it's getting to that stage where I'm considering leaving, thankfully I've two years left until my 12 year point so I can hopefully find a job at a relatively leisurely pace.

As my RAF career is the only job it's worth putting on a CV (the rest were dead end factory jobs) how do I write about about the skills I've gained without sounding like I'm writing an Andy McNab novel? I understand it's best to keep a CV short & snappy yet without content many of my skills may not stand out.

Jobs I've looked at so far include Field Engineer for medical equipment, commissioning engineer for radio equipment, outside broadcast engineer and PCB bench tester.

mucho thanks as ever

Worth speaking to a few recruiters who recruit ex-Forces such as https://www.ex-mil.co.uk/ for a view of what their clients may want.

Many thanks for that, some interesting roles there potentially for me

Thanks for all the hints and tips so far, some very useful info in there

CV is coming along nicely, shall send it out this week to see what response it gets, I will get the shock of my life if I'm offered a job and have to hand my notice in
