10 Strategies for Reentering the Workforce: Career Advice for
Anyone Who Needs a Good (or Better) Job Now is an easy-to-read
guide for anyone who needs to reenter the workforce because of
economic necessity, a plant closing, corporate downsizing, divorce,
injury, or other life-changing circumstance-including the simple
desire for a new challenge. Expert career counselor Mary E. Ghilani
identifies each type of career changer and discusses the unique
challenges each group faces, the options available to them, and
strategies for finding a new job or successfully returning to
school to upgrade skills. The book also offers numerous ways to
overcome obstacles and defeat the common yes, buts that prevent
people from achieving a satisfactory work life. This book will
directly help unemployed and mid-career workers who need to find a
better job quickly to keep their heads above water. But it will
also be of great service to those who can take some time to
completely reassess where they are and where they are going. In her
practice as director of a career center, Ghilani often hears common
laments like, I wish I had a job that... or I always wanted to be
a... These statements are usually followed up with, But now it's
too late, or, I don't have the skills, or, It will take too long or
cost too much. Her response: Do work that you enjoy for the
remaining working years of your life, even if it means going back
to school or starting at the bottom of the ladder. That, she
explains, is a much better alternative to toiling unhappily while
awaiting retirement. Besides great advice, the book also contains
hands-on tools for figuring out what constitutes a great job,
sample resumes and cover letters, and a list of Web sites catering
to those eager to reenter the workforce or find a better job.
