It is divided between a case study (based on the author’s own experiences) of career dislocation and eventual career renewal, and several sections that offer pragmatic advice on how to recover from job loss, conduct a skills assessment and develop a practical job search strategy. The author, with honesty, confronts the serious and sometimes troubling psychological and professional consequences of layoffs and job burnout. This book presents an overall positive outlook on personal growth and the opportunities our new information environment holds.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 1: Introduction to the parameters of career renewal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 2: Career recovery: a case study of my personal job search\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAbstract:\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOff to California\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFirst you fail and then, guess what, you fail again\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhy not try something new?
