This review is from: Arco Getting from Fired to Hired: Bounce Back from Losing Your Job and Get Your Career Back on Track! (Hardcover)

As a CEO of an executive search firm, I have interviewed professionals for 13 years. I have seen too often highly educated, successful people flop on an interview due to the trauma of a firing or unexpected layoff. To all those readers I urge, PLEASE read Martin's book!

This book expertly looks at the dynamics of losing your job. It shares skills on how to leave on the best possible footing. It then goes on to describe the steps you can take to find yourself and a new career or job as well. Very detailed and well written.
