Getting Back to Work - Everything You Need to Bounce Back and Get a Job After a Layoff
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The layoff survival guide for today's job hunters—what everyone needs to know about getting fired, getting inspired, and getting hired.

Losing a job can be devastating - financially, professionally, and emotionally. This comprehensive guide, written by a career consultant with a background in psychiatric therapy, goes further than other job search guides by addressing the full range of issues facing the newly unemployed--from dusting off old resumes, polishing networking skills, and preparing for interviews, to dealing with the emotional fallout of losing a job, staying motivated, and rebuilding a dream career.

"Insightfully written…[will] have profound effect not only on those who are working today, but those whose lives are in transition and in need of inspiration."  - Jane Boucher, How to Love the Job You Hate
