Career Guides

This book provides a framework for career transition for military service members and their families. While other books similar in scope address just one or two aspects of the job search process, this one addresses the entire transition process and includes the family perspective with it.

Transitioning to the civilian work world is filled with challenges for over 250,000 military personnel who leave the various services each year. It's especially difficult for those who are uncertain how to clearly communicate what they do well and enjoy doing to civilian employers. Written by the authors of the popular "Corporate Gray Series" for transitioning military personnel (2.1 million copies distributed since 1998); this book provides all the necessary information for writing and distributing outstanding resumes and letters. The authors show how to produce, distribute, follow-up, and evaluate resumes and letters with maximum impact. Includes 65 key principles, a 6-step military-to-civilian language translation process, over 75 sample resume and letters, 100 top Internet employment sites, and more.

This book gives resume strategies as well as 180 pages of sample resumes specifically written for people making the leap back into the private sector.
