Part Three
After your transition: Adjusting to your new work and staying ready for the future

Part Three is beneficial both for former service corps members who are settling into a new job or those who've been working a while and want to reinvigorate their career. It discusses the following topics:

• The shock of the new (starting a new job): being a "rookie" at your new job, getting accustomed to your new coworkers and workplace, adjusting to the idea of an open-ended time commitment, taking ownership of the work you do, adjusting to increased income levels, and evaluating your feelings after three months on the job
• Career growth beyond your service term: continuing to self-assess and evaluate your career, networking after your service program, keeping your knowledge and skills current, and ways to continue building your skills
