Author Jerry Crews has more than 25 years of military service and travels across the country counseling members of the armed forces about to enter the civilian work force. Crews makes this transition process simple by detailing a transition execution plan that uses the military's basic planning principles. Topics also follow a military approach with their concise, simple and to-the-point style. Jump Start Your Career has three objectives. First, to help service members recognize that their core values, work ethic, and self-discipline will translate into civilian work force success. Likewise, the second goal is to instill a sense of confidence. Finally, the book aims to motivate retiring military members by making the transition process simple, balanced, and approachable. The book is written primarily for current military members who are leaving service in the civilian workforce. However, anyone--civilian or military, young or old-changing careers or jobs, can benefit from the basic principles of Jump Start Your Career.
