Job Market: Survival Guide in 2012 & Beyond

This book is a collection of “best practices and lessons learned” planning, and implementing various strategies of preparing for, keeping and transitioning from jobs to other jobs in several industries – healthcare, banking, finance, semi-conductor, retail, aerospace, automotive, telecommunications, oil, federal/state/county/city governments, entertainment, and transportation - among others. Several of the strategies in this book are referred to by various descriptive terms, such as: “Cradle to Grave”; “Feast and Famine”; “Charge of the Light Brigade”; “Last Stand at Thermopylae”; etc. Several of these strategies are appropriate in today’s setting; some have been anachronistic for decades but continued to be practiced with unintended, perhaps even tragic consequences that need not happen. Other volumes in this series are: "Job Market: Innovators, Stakeholders & Infrastructure", "Job Market: Family and Support System", "Job Market: The Retired, Disadvantaged and Marginalized".
