Parting Company: How To Survive The Loss Of A Job And Find Another Successfully.

Invaluable career guidance from two leading executives in the outplacement counseling field

If the corporate buyouts and reorginizations of the 1980s and the accompanying staff cutbacks had a message for employees, it's that job security is decidedly not a fact of life. But, according to Bill Morin and Jim Cabrera, the loss of a job doesn't have to be an emotionally and financially devastating experience. On the contrary, for the employee of the 1990s and beyond it can be turned into a valuable opportunity to reexamine values and evaluate personal and professional goals.

How do you transform termination into a positive experience? This thoroughly revised and up-to-date edition of Parting Company will show you how to take control of your present situation and guide you toward a new career (and, possibly, a new lifestyle) that best suits your needs and aspirations. From the moment you leave one employer to the day you accept a new offer, Parting Company offers reassuring, practical advice that includes:

• negotiating the best severance package
• considering creative career options - entrepreneurship, consultancy, and active retirement
• Marketing yourself effectively
• making the most of an interview
• starting a new job
