WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

"I was thoroughly pleased with the format, contents, and layout  of the book. It provided me with many proven tips that can be useful in preparing for entry into the work force. The example copies of how to complete various applications were easy to understand and not complicated. What really stands out is the Voyage everyone is on and how they overcame obstacles while seeking employment. I would rec­ommend this book to anyone seeking employment in the civilian or government sector.”

Especially for veterans just transitioning out of military service for that first real-world career opportunity, seeking a federal government position or preparing for a great opportunity in private employment field. Voyager/Veteran is a must-read for anyone wanting to understand the hiring process, inclusive of insightful tips that often result in offers of employment.”

"P.D. Pritchard is an absolute wordsmith. He makes personal growth through career betterment an exciting topic. His utilization of short stories that any veteran can relate to adds significant value and allows his audience to connect immediately to each chapter. Additionally, he makes the job search task relatable by demonstrating clearly that veterans have already gained the necessary proficiency to succeed through their training and experience. I cannot recommend this re­ source more highly for every veteran.”

JIMMIE SIMPSON, Local Veterans Employment Representative SSG USA, former ET2 (SS) U.S. Navy

"While reading Voyager/Veteran found it to be a well-directed instruc­tional map providing compassionate support while maintaining a real world view of the needs of veterans conducting job search.

"I thoroughly enjoyed Voyager/Veteran and, as a believer in face-to­ face networking I especially enjoyed that section. By including anecdotes involving veterans seeking employment, the author provides a touch of the human aspect towards job searching, interviewing, and the follow-up after the interview, just to name a few of the features. As a veteran, I found the book to be engaging an informative. This book is squared away!"

"Voyager/Veteran a book designed to help veterans already in the civil­ian sector and those recently separated vets find work in today's com­petitive job market. It has much to offer, it's a relatable and rational journey through the entire process of seeking employment. Veterans and non-veterans alike will greatly benefit from the wisdom and les­sons within. Soak in the essence of the anecdotal scenarios presented to get the big picture of what really takes place during the job search process: networking, developing an elevator pitch, writing a cover let­ter and resume, completing an application, interviewing and simply building bridges to your next career. It's a wonderful and enlightening read, one I would fully recommend to anyone seriously seeking to succeed in finding meaningful employment.”
