Laid Off? Don’t Stress!
|
“Unexpected transitions such as being laid off or going back into the workforce after a hiatus can cause panic because we don’t really know what to do with them. We can’t even predict how to handle them…until they come upon us like a hurricane.”
—Kitty Wiemelt
You don’t have to weather the storm alone!
Kitty Wiemelt provides an instant community of fellow career changers in this collection of heartfelt stories by 20 people who share their diverse, life-changing experiences. They tell intimate accounts of gut-wrenching transitions—from the lows of hearing they’ve been laid off to the highs of discovering their life’s work. Learn from their mistakes and victories while taking their advice to heart. After all, they’ve been there.
Whether you’ve just been laid off or are helping someone cope with a job transition, you’re sure to find support, encouragement, and fresh ideas on these pages.
Whether laid off or time off, getting back into the swing of things can turn out to be more than one had bargained for. That was true in my case when I drove from Maine to Arizona to join my partner and start a new life adventure. This book was inspiring and comforting. Hearing other life travelers’ stories always are and Kitty has written it in such a way as to offer you hope, encouragement, a push, an “a Ha!” and a way to make sure that the light at the end of the tunnel is the sun….not an oncoming train. I would highly recommend the book for both your head and your heart.
