Bookblurb Job Loss: What’s Next?
Whether due to downsizing, layoffs, business failures, staff cuts, or retirement, JOB LOSS is traumatic. Not only is it painful to the person affected, it impacts his friendships, his families, his former coworkers, his community, and most certainly will change his life, perhaps permanently. In this economy, not a street in America has been immune to witnessing the immense tarnishing of the American Dream.
This book takes the reader, no, the participant, victim, or those concerned by the unemployed worker, through an analysis of the grief process and personality traits, but leads him/her through the reordering and reprioritizing stage, to some very orderly recovery strategies leading to an attitude of rejoicing.
This book should be part of every severance package, every retirement party, every human resources exit packet.
Included are: Maslow’s hierarchy, personality traits analyses, stages of grieving, motivational and inspirational quotations, proven success strategies, a useful handbook for budget planning, resume writing, interview basics, and Daily Vitamins to help the mind grow.
Give this book to everyone you know, and undoubtedly you do know those who could use your support and friendship as they struggle through the effects of Job Loss, and give them the gift of hope through this book.
