What to Do with the Rest of Your Life (Electronic book text, Original ed.)

From "one of the nation's foremost authorities on what it takes to get a job in today's market" (The Tampa Tribune), a complete guide to successfully changing -- or jumpstarting -- a career.

Robin Ryan provides great advice for the millions of people who feel trapped in their jobs and need a change. The average worker will change careers five to seven times -- some looking to move up, do something different, open a business, or go to work for a new employer -- and Ryan offers proven strategies based on her twenty years as a practicing career counselor. Ryan knows that 85 percent of all jobs are never advertised and offers specific strategies on how to land one of these "hidden" jobs. She knows that nearly one million new businesses are launched each year, and that 80 percent of those will fail. Ryan teaches:
-- Trademarked strategies for switching careers, discovering your passion, and maintaining or advancing your salary when doing it
-- CEO survey results that offer up-to-the-minute insights on what it really takes to get to the top
-- Proven techniques for obtaining a raise and/or promotion
-- Tricks to starting a business without beginning at zero income
-- Key strategies for "retirees" starting afresh

Concise and easy to use, this book has all the answers for career changers.
