Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mission Transition is an essential career-change guide for any transitioning veteran that wants to avoid false starts and make optimal career choices following active duty. Every year, about a quarter of a million veterans leave the military - most of whom are unprepared for the transition. These service members have developed incredible leadership, problem-solving, and practical skills that are underutilized once they reach the civilian world, a detriment to both themselves and society. Well-intentioned Transition Assistance Programs and other support structures within the armed forces often leave veterans fending for themselves. The mission-first culture of the military results in service members focusing on their active duty roles in the year leading up to their separation, leaving them little time to adequately prepare to join the civilian world. President of Purepost, a next-generation staffing solution and public benefits corporation, and author Matthew J. Louis guides military personnel through the entire process of making a successful move into civilian professional life. In Mission Transition, this book will: Guide you through the process of discovering what path you want to take going forward Teach you the strategies that will make your résumé stand out Provide suggestions to help you prepare for and ace the interview Discuss ways to acclimate to your new organization’s culture and pay it forward to other veterans Each chapter includes advice from other veterans, illustrations of key concepts, summaries, and suggested resources. Let this well-written and easy to follow guidebook help you transition out from the military and commit to being successful in the next chapter of your life.

Download or read book Service After Serving written by Timothy Patrick Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the end of World War II, military veterans have staffed between one-quarter to one-half of all positions in the United States federal civilian bureaucracy. The abundance of former military personnel in federal employment results mainly from preferential hiring policies that partially exempt veterans--and, in some instances, their relatives--from merit screening. Yet, despite their prominence, veterans working in the federal civilian bureaucracy have received little attention from scholars: veterans' influence on government performance remains unknown, as does the effect of government employment on military veterans. In this dissertation, I provide new information about those issues, while also considering the normative and policy implications of veterans' preference policies. I find that that military veterans rank among the top performing civil servants and they increase the performance of programs housed in the bureaus in which they work. Moreover, this performance effect holds among veterans known to have benefited from preferential hiring. Despite this strong performance, statistical analyses reported herein indicate that military veterans employed in the federal service earn significantly lower wages than nonveteran federal employees. As well, I find that veterans employed as civil servants do not produce distinctively better outcomes for other veterans who seek government services. In sum, while veterans significantly improve federal government performance, federal employment does not offer exceptional advantages to military veterans. These findings carry normative and policy implications, which I discuss in this dissertation.
