Transitioning to the civilian work world can be filled with challenge

Transitioning to the civilian work world can be filled with challenge, especially for those who don't have a resume detailing their goals and objectives. That's why Military to Civilian: Resumes and Letters is so important: it provides an outline of a simple job search process geared to the military, identifies 12 major mistakes, and packs in examples of over a hundred resumes and nearly 30 letters, with coverage of both electronic and conventional resumes. Military and career libraries in particular will welcome this transitional title.
