From Booklist
Tailored specifically to those military professionals about to embark on civilian careers, this manual utilizes suitable examples of resumes and cover letters. The aim is to turn the job search into a successful endeavor, and to that end, basic interviewing skills are covered, as are initial steps toward identifying potential and appropriate employers. The book's far lengthier second section, however, unfolds in a series of alphabetical listings targeting the fields of aviation to transportation, with subgroups for each and every category of skills. Entering the job market is an arduous task under the best of circumstances. A guide that significantly translates veterans' experience into viable repertoires of achievement.

Review
"I feel very fortunate to have discovered this book in PREP's Real-Resumes Series. I could see that the resumes and cover letters had been originated for real military professionals. I learned how to translate my military experience into civilian language by studying the examples. You can't get a job if you can't communicate to the civilian community just what you've been doing in language other than battalions and brigades. This book was an enormous help to me!"

( TomPeckiness, Major Ret., U.S. Army)"If you are leaving military service and want to see how your experience should be translated in to plain English, you should buy this book. It's the only one of its kind I have found. The resumes and cover letters show individuals from all branches of the service, and I found examples of how to communicate my naval experience in language other than "petty officer" and so on."
