CAREERS

Prepare for your next mission--a civilian career.

A veteran's transition from military to civilian life is a major life event that requires careful planning. This career guide for veterans is unique and empowering for two reasons. First, it is written by veterans who made the transition and now lead a successful civilian business which consults with corporations large and small all over the world. Second, it explains a simple and effective planning process that has been taught to over 1 million business leaders, a process born of military experience. This book:

• Challenges veterans to change their mindset and understand just how different the "wilderness" of civilian employment and the world of business is from military experience
• Helps the reader build an adaptable long-range career "High-Definition Destination" (HDD); identify the resources needed to achieve that career; and develop strategic and tactical courses of action
• Also contains extensive tools and checklists to help veterans plan
