This book is for and about the millions of people who are between
jobs (code for out of work), have been between jobs, or know of
someone who has been. It is about how to navigate the transition
from employment-for-life, career development support, and a
company-sponsored pension to downsized, outsourced, and replaced.
Bill Holland explains the macro-trends that have converged to
create an environment of job instability and anxiety, and then
moves beyond this context to present specific tactics and
techniques that readers can use to stay one step ahead in their
careers. More than a manual for job searches and career-building
strategies, Are There Any Good Jobs Left? helps readers interpret
trends, assess such temptations as leaving the corporate rat race
for the entrepreneurial life and considers the ethics of constant
networking. Featuring an annotated listing of books and Web sites,
the book is not so much an indictment of corporate disloyalty as an
explanation of the phenomenon, and a guidebook for anyone faced
with job transition, change, or growth in today's turbulent
environment. This book is for and about the millions of people who
are between jobs (code for out of work), have been between jobs, or

employment-for-life, career development support, and a
company-sponsored pension to downsized, outsourced, and replaced.
It is about managing your career proactively and creatively in an
environment where no job is presumed to be permanent. Bill Holland
explains the macro-trends that have converged since the heyday of
the white-collar worker after World War II to create an environment
of job instability and anxiety, and then moves beyond this context
to present specific tactics and techniques that readers can use to
stay one step ahead in their careers, whether they are senior
executives or just starting out. Much more than a manual for job
searches and career-building strategies, Are There Any Good Jobs
Left? shows readers how to interpret trends (e.g., will this wave
of outsourcing affect me?), assess such temptations as leaving the
corporate rat race for the entrepreneurial life, and consider the
ethics of constant networking. In addition, he explores the
dynamics of the increasingly diverse workforce, and the prospects
for men, women, and minorities as they all vie for the most
attractive positions. Featuring an annotated listing of books and
Web sites, Are There Any Good Jobs Left? is not so much an
indictment of corporate disloyalty as an explanation of the
phenomenon and a guidebook for anyone faced with job transition,
change, or growth in today's turbulent environment.
