Out of Uniform

Wolfe, a career coach, offers commonsense advice to those transitioning from the military to civilian careers. Supplying more than just tips on interviews and resumes, the book provides guidance on evaluating your own skills, planning and strategy for civilian employment, understanding the hidden job market, and different types of employment, such as sales, engineering, management, and government contracting. There is also advice on marketing yourself, dressing and speaking appropriately, salary negotiation, and fitting into the civilian work world. The guide is peppered with realistic examples in a reader-friendly layout with b&w illustrations, large-type headings, checklists, and bullet points. The book is distributed in the US by Books International. Annotation �穢2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
