What Peraton looks for

Peraton says it measures success by the results its customers achieve: "lives saved, knowledge acquired, battles won, and information secured." A Peraton résumé should read the same way, as mission results rather than duties. Veterans and military spouses are more than 23% of its workforce. A dedicated Military and Veteran Talent Acquisition Team runs a career series with sessions on translating military experience, understanding job descriptions, and résumés and applicant-tracking-system (ATS) optimization. Peraton offers DoD SkillBridge corporate internships in the final 180 days of service.

Bullet formula: [Mission outcome] + [what you did to get it] + [measurable proof]. This follows Peraton's own yardstick: results for the customer's mission.

Do

  • Take apart the job description before you write. Peraton's veteran career series covers this in its own session.
  • Optimize for applicant tracking systems: mirror the posting's terms and keep the layout clean and single-column.
  • Lead with clearance (level, SCI, polygraph) and the certifications the role's DoD 8140 work role needs.
  • Frame bullets as mission results: systems kept available, anomalies resolved, information secured.
  • Reach out to Peraton's Military and Veteran Talent Acquisition Team if you're transitioning.

Avoid

  • Don't list duties without the mission result.
  • Don't include classified mission details. Describe satellite and ground systems generically.
  • Don't send one generic résumé. Peraton's own guidance is to match your qualifications to each posting.
