The main objectives of Moving Forward are: To address challenges that are unique to the mid-career job seekers, such as perceptions of overqualification and the need to keep with advances in technology; To provide support and encouragement for workers who are in process of rebuilding their careers as individual contributors, as employees of small businesses or large corporations, or as founders/owners of a new business; To provide job hunting rules for workers reentering the workplace; To provide guidelines for staying up to date on competitive skills demanded by today’s workplace; To provide practical information for rebuilding wealth. By addressing the many aspects of job loss and job search, Moving Forward provides solutions for dealing with the challenges encountered at each stage of the rebuilding process, from the initial shock and humiliation to the difficult but rewarding task of rebuilding persona and seeking new employment opportunities.Click here and read this eBook
