5.0 out of 5 stars The single most helpful guide for a transitioning senior military officer, December 7, 2007

By	Joseph F. Paschall (Huntsville, AL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a soon-to-be retiring senior military officer, I have read dozens of books on transitioning and most focus on theories and platitudes. Whereas many books are written at such a basic level describing how to prepare a resume and how to dress for an interview, this one simply skips the fluff and gets right down to the basics of sample resumes. This is THE book I would recommend for transitioning senior military officers. I could have saved myself a bit of time and money in skipping the other 20-or-so that I read before finding this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting out of the Military?, March 13, 2007

By	Carmine - See all my reviews

Another "must have" book for those of you separating or retiring from the military. This book will help you to easily convert those military job descriptions into civilian terminology. Also has some great examples and suggested resume formats.

5.0 out of 5 stars The title tells it all!, March 30, 2009

By	Peter Marx (Florida, USA) - See all my reviews

This book was compiled by two of the most important and knowledgeable resume writers/career coaches in the country. Their "9 Expert Resume Strategies" on the inside cover alone are worth the price. Those strategies apply to virtually all ranks and career fields in the military.

The resumes in the book are examples of work from dozens of resume professionals who work in both the civilian sector and for the Department of Defense in the Transition Assistance Programs all over the country. There are examples for junior enlisted to senior managers, for Admin Assistants to C-level executives.

This book is invaluable to those who are leaving the military and also to any professional who is helping them in that process. I have 16 years experience as a resume writer for the Department of Defense, specializing in military conversions, and I frequently use this book as a reference.
