Empower yourself while you transition between jobs. Surviving Unemployment will help you with every facet of your unemployment experience. It begins by gently guiding you through your initial job loss trauma, including managing any financial exit packages and enjoying the extra time you are suddenly given. It moves on to giving you practical ways to find a job that's best for you. Finally, you will learn relaxations and affirmations to help you remain calm and centered while you survive unemployment. When you are unemployed it is not only your task to get a new job, but it is also your task to be content and confident during the time you are unemployed; and that is what Surviving Unemployment does.

This book not only includes information on performing an effective job hunt but also how to handle the associated emotional ups and downs. This book is about feeling your best when you go on job interviews despite the fact that you really want the job and your inner negative voice is saying you’re not qualified.     In other words it is about living life mindfully, while you wait for your work life to start again.  This book includes the following helpful information:

Get grounded with the correct information about being unemployed. Learn that others are experiencing the same emotional distress as you are.  Find out how to progress from the initial trauma you feel when a job ends, to feeling good, strong, competent and safe again. 

Solve any practical problems.  Learn how to manage on much less money for the interim between jobs.  Get an estimate of how much your unemployment check will be.  Learn how to manage exit packages that may include lump sum payments and IRA’s. 

Be centered today; find ways to enjoy your extra time this day.   Find in this book suggestions on ways to structure each day and fill the extra time that is suddenly on your hands.  See how, if you let it, this time be the most exciting, growth-oriented experience of your life. 

Know the type of job you want and learn the best options to get it.  Find practical suggestions on not only how to find open job positions, but the best way to get the job that’s right for you. Learn how to write an effective resume, prepare for an interview, handle pre-interview anxiety, and what to expect during a job interview. 

Perform affirmations and meditations to help you over the rough spots.  Affirmations and deep relaxations can help you to gain confidence and remain focused as you go on your interview.  The ones in this book  are specifically written for the job seeker and include visualizations that will walk you through your interview. 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Excerpt

Are you one of those people who when you first get unemployed enjoys your time and wonder why do I need a book like this one? Or are you someone who as soon as you become unemployed you feel the hours and minutes drag by wondering and worrying about when you will get your next job? Even if you are one who in the beginning enjoyed your spare time, during periods of extended unemployment, the out of work doldrums and the task of job seeking can become daunting. That is when to open this book.
You’ve seen books that focus on ways to find and get a job. They talk about how to write a resume that gets the best response, and how to go on winning interviews. But, in the midst of writing your resume, do you hear yourself saying “this resume is bad” or “I know I don’t have a much experience as the other job candidates.”? Or, even worse, you’re on your way to the interview and you start worrying “did I forget to bring something” or “I know the answers I give won’t be the right answers.”
If you’re one of those people, who want to do your best, like many of us are, you’ve come to the right place. This book not only talks about how to write an outstanding resume, but it also tells you how to deal with the negative self talk that you are feeding yourself. In an understanding and compassionate manner this book will help you not only keep a positive attitude when you go on interviews, but also when you are waiting for the phone to ring to ask you to go on that interview.
The information I present in this book is meant to help you with every facet of your unemployment experience, from sliding through the job loss trauma, to learning how to find and get a job, and finally learning relaxations and affirmations to help you remain centered while you survive unemployment. When you are unemployed it is not only your task to get a new job, but it is also your task to be content and confident during the time you are unemployed. This book is about not feeling alone and dreading the extra time that you are suddenly given, it is about feeling your best when you go on job interviews despite the fact that you really want the job and your inner negative voice is saying you’re not qualified. In other words it is about living life mindfully, while you wait for your work life to start again…….
This book series is about using the Surviving Life Mindfully process while you toil through life’s challenging situations. This particular book will help center you and teach you how to thrive even though you may initially feel your world has just turned upside down.
