From Outrage to Opportunity.
Companies are often "down-sizing" or offering voluntary or involuntary redundancies which can potentially shatter a person's life. Author of this new book, Carolyn Jackson, suffered a particularly high-profile redundancy, she was an Ansett flight attendant! Carolyn was devastated but determined to rebuild her working life.
The book is sympathetic and empathetic but it also offers practical, hands-on advice to help people regain their confidence, retrain, re-write resumes, job-search, succeed at interviews and get back into the workforce. There is great advice on getting through the Centrelink maze, financial band-aid tips and dealing with the psychological effect of redundancy.
