Book Reviews of The Unemployment Survival Guide
Book Review: This Couldn't Have Been Published At A Better Time!
Summary: 5 Stars
When both of my sons were unemployed recently, I searched Amazon.com for something that would help them get through this difficult time (difficult for all of us). Much to my joy, I discovered this book which seems to be one of a kind. It tackles the tough emotional stresses facing unemployment like a sense of isolation, loss of humor and the pressures to find work immediately. It goes beyond the usual how to write a resume or how to give a great interview. It deals with real life scenarios like handling your finances after losing a job, how to interact with your family and friends, and finding ways to have fun for little or no cost. Losing your job is a survivable event. This is a must read book if you are recently unemployed, retired, between jobs or looking for work. It just makes you feel better about yourself and your situation.
Summary of The Unemployment Survival Guide
Unemployment is unquestionably one of life's most stressful and difficult experiences, and it happens to virtually everyone at least once during the course of their working lives. It is a time of uncertainty and transition-but it can also be a time to learn, grow, and seriously examine the direction of one's life. Break Time: Nourishing Yourself Through Unemployment provides practical solutions for the roller coaster of experiences that people have from the day a job is lost to the day a promising new one is found. Authors Jim Stringham and David R. Workman show you how to take advantage of newly found "free" time and learn important new skills, like how to accomplish the following: Escape video game overdose Face Black Monday (and Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, etc.) Have fun for little or no money Keep loved ones sane while you are jobless Rid yourself of resentment Explain job loss to children Set a financial plan Break Time provides helpful information on how to take care of you while unemployed, and offers suggestions on dealing with feelings of isolation, keeping a sense of humor, maintaining self-esteem, and feeling more comfortable with a temporarily lower standard of living.
