This is a helpful handbook no matter what your career status. It helped me develop a career strategy. The book is helpful whether you are employed or between jobs. The book is written in a common sense format with helpful ideas and implementation tools. Dr. Sackett has a keen sense of today's job environment.

I purchased a copy of the book after coming across a brochure describing it as a kind of "survivor's manual" in the rapidly changing and increasingly precipitous workplace. Even though I had recently retired after 33 years with the same firm (the earlier more comfortable paradigm), I experienced nearly every emotion described by the author as he recounted and used examples from his many years of consulting and counseling people struggling with the pain and insecurity of the office workplace. Dr. Sackett's suggestion that all workers develop an entrepreneurial mindset struck me as a winning strategy. I, in fact, purchased a second copy for several close friends of mine still struggling back at the East Coast firm.
