5.0 out of 5 stars The single best source to start the transition process, September 12, 1999
By A Customer
I was very fortunate when I made the decision to depart the service--I had access to Dave Henderson's original edition of "Job Search: Marketing Your Military Experience." I did have multiple skills and considerable experience but very little idea just how to identify and package them, and how they should or could apply to my new life as a civilian.

Dave Henderson's clear, logical, and carefully tailored advice was the best tool in my own transition from an Air Force career to a satisfying and very rewarding civilian career. I have followed his updates carefully. They were all good, but Edition 3 is the best. Henderson has kept tuned to the times.

If you were going to limit yourself to one source, which you really should not-edition 3 of "Job Search: Marketing Your Military Experience" would be the one to choose. The material is well organized, easy to follow and is very careful to avoid the "one size fits all approach." The advice, well grounded in years of experience and highly tuned to today's job market, is individually tailored to meet needs ranging from a young NCO leaving the service after one hitch, to a senior officer with decades of experience.

The latest tools of the trade are employed-such as recognizing and harnessing the increasing utility of the internet both in researching future employers and in advertising your own skills and experience to a wider range of potential employers. There are plenty of solid examples clarifying the entire career transition process--from the early steps identifying your personal skills and interests, through the difficult and tedious, but critical, resume development phase--to the final stages of salary and benefit negotiation. Every step is a vital one, and this book offers a clear, concise, readable and well-researched blueprint toward your future. You can get there from here, and this book is a proven way to do it! Joe Breen, Colonel, USAF (Ret.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Job Search Marketing your military experience, August 20, 2000
By Derek Wheeler (Jakarta, Indonesia) - See all my reviews
Anyone thinking about leaving the service should read this book at least 18 months before separating, whether leaving after one hitch, or a 20+ year retirement. Mr. Henderson has laid out in a clear, logical manner all the things that must be considered before transitioning into the civilian work force. Most military people simply haven't thought about leaving the service until it is upon them. This book is a "primer". It will get you started in the creation of your own personal transition plan, one that meets your needs. Not a "one size fits all" book by any means, you build your own plan. The book lays out a foundation, the details are your personal choice. In fact, the amount of other sources of important information referenced in the book is one of it most valuable strengths.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its the most helpful, May 5, 2000
This book is in my view the best out there for anyone separating from the military. This is especially true in light of todays internet use for obtaining employment. In addition, the resume section is clearly excellent. As a retired commander from the Navy I recommend the book without reservation!
