More than one million service-members will leave the military and transition into civilian life over the next several years, according to a recent Government Accountability Office report. Robert R. Ulin, who retired from the Army as a colonel, knows that it's hard to make a smooth transition to employment as a civilian. Geared for veterans age forty-five to fifty-five, he wrote this guidebook to help you: - prepare for the job search;
- sell your skills at interviews;
- adjust to a culture where leadership is persuasive instead of directive;
- leverage your talents to climb the corporate ladder.
You'll also get a variety of tools in the appendixes, including a transition self-assessment, a transition task list, a job-hunting process for the military mind, and a transition checklist. As a veteran, you know you can see tasks through to completion and exhibit strong leadership skills and professionalism, but it's not always easy to translate these skills into a civilian world. Take the first step in becoming your own commander, and get an action plan to successfully navigate Transitions.
