Reading contributes to a well-rounded, well-versed public with knowledge of a wide range of subjects, including the skill set and motivation necessary to combat the job market. Our diverse reading choices also make for a more well-rounded, well-versed team.<\/p>\n<p>Books help us to recognize we are not alone in our challenges and can highlight parallels to personal experiences, including the power of resiliency and determination while seeking employment. Transitioning out of the military, seeking employment following a move, and changing career paths can be intimidating moments, but through reading we can learn skills, concepts, and find motivation to work towards our career goals. Books embody themes that translate to our everyday lives, and additionally, make great ice breakers at networking events!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>We hope you enjoy our recommendations and learn something new!<\/strong><\/p>\n<h5>Team HOH&#8217;s Picks:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li><em>How to Win Friends and Influence People<\/em> by\u00a0Dale Carnegie<\/li>\n<li><em>The Boys in the Boat<\/em>\u00a0by James Brown<\/li>\n<li><em>Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action<\/em> by Simon Sinek<\/li>\n<li><em>Decision Points<\/em> by George W.
