Description

It's all here: My 2003 satirical essay on unemployment which got hundreds of responses, details of my 40-year work history, why it's probably not your fault if you're laid off, some unconventional advice on resume writing, and lots of encouragement for anyone who is currently job hunting.

Review by: Tommy S. W. Wong on July 03, 2012 : star star star star
Unemployment, undoubtedly, is a stressful experience and it is more than financial. David candidly shared his cycles of employment and unemployment experiences in which he discovered that there were certain benefits being unemployed. He also shared his insights of the corporate world, which is extremely useful to youngsters who are starting out in their careers. He also shared how some people look at unemployed, and gave tips on job hunting. All these are extremely useful to the unemployed, who naturally need a lot of support and this book is one of them. I congratulate David on sharing his personal, real-life experiences in this book.
