Ghilani, director of career services at Luzerne County Community College, gives advice for readers who need to reenter the workforce or change career direction because of economic necessity, corporate downsizing, divorce, injury, or other reasons. She identifies each type of career changer and discusses the unique challenges each group faces, the options available to them, and strategies for finding a new job or returning to school to upgrade skills. The book will help unemployed and mid-career workers who need to find a better job quickly. But it will also be of use to those who can take some time to reassess where they are and where they're going. Sample resumes, cover letters, and a list of web sites are included.
