Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
"It's a cold and graceless world," reports Lonergan, whose authority on being fired stems from four firings in the last 10 years, including by his wife when she divorced him. His motivational book, with a mixture of anecdotes and stories, gives a light-hearted framework to his solid words of wisdom. He focuses on the importance of character in difficult times and the need to stay in the game, sustain the effort, and, if necessary, make a new start. In emphasizing the qualities of patience, perseverance, and listening, he covers the ritual of interviews, including the development of a new resumewith a master draft, which must be tailored specifically for each interview. The need to network is paramount, and the author suggests asking for advice from every contact, including the person who fired you. He urges readers to push themselves, stay in shape, look good, and dress appropriately; the importance of appearance cannot be overstated. What matters is attitude--never give up! Mary Whaley
