TheHireTactics TM is available as four individual ebooks, each focused on just one of the four milestones specifically for military veterans looking for civilian employment. Each ebook is dedicated to helping military veterans succeed in their job search mission. The four different sections are designed to be short and sweet so veterans can quickly begin using this proven job search approach. Below is a short synopsis of the four individual ebooks available for purchase.
The first section in TheHireTactics TM series introduces military veterans to the tools you need to brand yourself to ensure you, the military veteran, separate yourself from your competition. In this section, you will learn how the job search system really works and how to use your tactical advantage as a military veteran!
The second section in TheHireTactics TM series is one of our most popular. In it veterans will learn how to avoid turning a job search into C.R.A.P. (Clicking, Reviewing, Applying, and Praying). Learn why it is mission critical to get the intel and package it so you can successfully penetrate the hidden job market. Learn how to educate employers about the value of your service and values you bring as a military veteran!
Section 3LOCK AND LOAD!24 Job Interview Questions Military Veterans Need to Know!
Being asked for an interview means you are 80 percent of the way to accomplishing your mission. The interview is where you seal the deal and preparation is the key to success! In the third section in TheHireTactics TM series youll learn how to demonstrate the value you bring to the table by conducting a tactical and strategic interview that will greatly enhance your chances of winning the job offer. Additional questions pertinent to all job interviews can be found in Greg Woods book, Nailed It!
Lets face it, you as a military veteran are probably not used to negotiating your pay. A table from the Pentagon listing your rank and time in service pretty much sets your paycheck and benefits. In this fourth section in TheHireTactics TM series, youll learn how to evaluate whether a job is worth taking and then, if it is, how to negotiate the difference between what youre offered and your true worth to the organization.
Testimonials
Here are just a few comments from job seekers who have taken TheHireRoad TM approach:
I think TheHireRoad program should become part of the workforce development system as an added feature available in the One Stop Career Centers throughout the United States. I highly recommend this product.

I had the pleasure of meeting Greg about a month ago and learning about the job search strategies he teaches with TheHireRoad. In the space of those four weeks I have been actively applying TheHireRoad resources and strategy for communicating added value to potential employers. In that short time I received three invitations for interviews with hiring managers of companies I was most interested in!
This week I was offered a position at one of these companies which I gratefully accepted. Although the outcome speaks for itself, it was the process of getting there with Gregs help for which I am most THANKFUL. I appreciate that Greg not only gave me the resources, but he helped me to use them with the most impact. I am humbled and grateful for within four weeks of being suddenly unemployed, I have what looks like will be a great job.

TheHireRoad TM was pivotal in my search for new employment, giving me all the professional tools necessary to maximize my employment search, prepare for interviews and create a post-interview presentation of myself, all of which enabled me to stand out from the competition and land the perfect job. I would recommend Greg and TheHireRoad TM to anyone who is looking to put all the integral pieces of a new employment search together.

TheHireRoad was very effective and helped shorten my time between jobs. The seminar is a welcome change from the standard advice found in numerous books and tapes, especially the approach to interviewing. Im sure the strategies will be just as valuable if and when I find myself in transition again.

TheHireRoad was an instrumental part of beginning my job search. The in-home seminar turned the anxiety of the interview into a position of knowledge and confidence.

SECTION 1
Veteran Employment Tactics
Introduction
Welcome to the New Job Reality
Welcome to TheHireTactics TM our series presenting job search strategies and tactics for military veterans.
Im Tom Stein, retired Lt. Col. USMC, and the proud coauthor of this book. This book is not for the weak-minded nor those without heart. You have served your country well and now you have a new challenge. This trial is nothing like boot camp, but it is still a challenge that will require the skills and talents you mastered in the military. As you read on, you will quickly see how these new tools will help you master this new obstacle that you face.
The contents of this book are based on the highly successful job search system, TheHireRoad TM , created by my friend and coauthor, Greg Wood, CCMP. He has the technical skills and I have the direct experience with transitioning from the military to the civilian workforce. I used Gregs system in my own job search so I speak from personal experience!
As you read, we will share how to develop and use a proven strategic approach for your job search instead of the traditional resume-based approach. Using this new approach and its tools will help shorten your job transition time.
The content in TheHireTactics TM series does not remotely resemble any of the information found in those self-help for dummies, series. This book is not A Complete Idiots Guide, to job searching and does not contain easy-to-do tasks designed to get you a job in four easy steps or just 24 days. We make no such promises. This series is for job seekers who are frustrated, discouraged, and increasingly fed up and want answers and solutions; not clever book titles and unrealistic promises.
