Part One
Before your transition: Setting yourself up for success during your term

Part One is particularly valuable for readers who are still in their service corps. It discusses the following topics:

• Discerning your professional calling: why discernment matters to service corps participants, "careering" toward your future, and tools for discernment
• Building skills: identifying the skills you need, practicing basic work skills, keeping track of the skills you need to acquire, ways to learn new skills, alternative avenues for training, and making the most of a bad workshop
• Building relationships: building a network of community partners, more ways to bolster your professional network, and alternative and long-distance networking
• Documenting your successes: documenting the facts of your service with statistics, documenting the artifacts of your service in a portfolio, and hanging on to your documentation
