“Okay, now what am I supposed to do?”

The reality was that as well versed as we both were at finding jobs, we had never done this “unemployment gig” before. Being laid-off created a whole new set of questions and challenges. Questions arose like:

• What are the most important things to do following a layoff?

• How drastically do we need to cut our spending?

• Can we negotiate the severance package?

• What are the best ways to quickly discover the hidden job openings?

Over the next several months, we worked our way through these and other issues. We made our mistakes as we went along (like learning the tough way why you need to file for unemployment immediately). We kept notes of what worked and didn’t work.

Being a career counselor, I was able to tap into my network of colleagues to get their insights and "top tips." I spoke with professionals in the career industry, talked with hundreds of individuals at job fairs and looked up resources on the internet. Before I knew it, I had the makings of a book, and after sharing it with others who were unemployed, I was strongly encouraged to share it with the public.

From the point you suspect that you may be laid-off -- to the day you negotiate a new job offer, this book is filled with hundreds of practical strategies and resources to help you better manage this transition; an interactive “how-to” guide designed to quickly and efficiently move you from pink-slip to paycheck. To the best of my knowledge, it is the first and only updated guide to managing unemployment in the new millennium.

My greatest hope is that your need for this book will be short-lived. But, in the event that you are not so blessed, I am confident you will find the information useful every step of the way.

"An incredibly useful resource" - - Anne Fisher, Fortune Magazine
