Janet knows first hand from being on base what military-experienced job seekers need to be successful in their transition. We definitely recommend the book for any military job seeker.

This is an OK overview for Soldiers who have not thought about retiring, but lacks the specifics that they really need. The most glaring error is not mentioning the most valuable item military members take with them and that's a security clearance. As I look for a job, the first question I am always asked is what clearance I hold. Upon telling them, they say they have a job for me, they just need to find which one. The number of jobs available requiring a clearance exceeds the inventory of retiring/separating Soldiers by a huge number. Would have been useful to know how to transfer my clearance to a contractor, or to "park" it somewhere while I take some time off.
The rest of the advice was almost as thin. For example, a contractor or new government service executive needs a starter wardrobe, but there was no advice on how to should start building that -- just to start early. A basic list of "classics" would be useful to someone who has worn camouflage every day for 20 years.
Won't say that there is a better book out there to help someone transitioning from the military, but this one isn't great.
