Make Job Loss Work for You: Get Over It and Get Your Career Back on Track

By Richard S. Deems, Ph.D., and Terri S. Deems, Ph.D.
Job loss is all too common these days. The authors, both career counselors, give a proven system for facing the emotions of a job layoff head-on and getting past them to look for a new job - possibly one that is a better fit than the one they lost.
Readers learn to tackle their emotional reactions to job loss - including shock, anger, denial, self-doubt, and depression - and come to an acceptance that enables them to move forward with their careers.
Then, using the proven "Deems JobGetting Skills System," readers can pinpoint their ideal career direction and make all the right moves toward landing a new job, including resume and cover letter tips, search strategy, salary negotiation, and success in the new position.
208 pages. 6 x 9. Softcover. August 2009.
