Designed for anyone (military, students, ex-offenders, etc.) facing a major life-changing transition, this action-oriented pocket guide is jam-packed with essential personal, job search, and employability information. Used by hundreds of workforce development programs, correctional institutions, and rehab facilities, this engaging and user-friend resource is filled with essential: self-tests, advice, strategies, checklists, forms, plans, and resources.

A special job survival and success section offers sound advice on the “do's” and “don'ts” of being a successful employee as well as knowing when to move on to other jobs. The guide also includes an important life skills section relating to: education and training, attitudes and goals, housing and transportation, addiction and recovery, health and wellness, financial planning, community services, and anger management.
