About the Book

Transitions is a valuable, easy to read guide for law enforcement and military professionals who want to transition into the private sector. The book covers a variety of issues that public servants need to know before they begin a job search in the corporate world.

The book covers important issues encountered in a transition, such as how to plan a job search, resume preparation, finding unpublished job opportunities, and preparation for interviews. Also covered is an explanation of private sector compensation issues and advice on how to achieve success in a new career.

The author, a former Secret Service Agent and private sector executive, provides a wealth of information that is well worth the cost of the book.
