Out of work, NOT out of WORTH. You have just entered the land known as Unemployment. There is a signpost up ahead. It reads, WHAT NEXT? Whatever had been the previous condition is no more. That way of life is gone. You'll be faced with questions and uncertainty. "Why was I let go?" "How will I face the future with no income, nothing to look forward to?" "How long will I be out of work and what will I do to survive until I find a new job?" With these questions comes a flood of emotions that can overwhelm you to where you wonder what it will take to just make it through the day. Your identity is shaken to the core based on what is no longer there. Who and what will emerge as time passes? Changes in life are inevitable. Your WILL to survive the change before you is supported by the WAYS in which you cope with transition. In this book are tools for navigating through the uncharted territory that exists between an ending and a new beginning. With knowledge of self-worth comes resilience-knowing that one can survive changes. I have written this book to share how changes and the transitions accompanying them can be addressed in positive ways. This book is aimed at providing those who are experiencing a change in work status with specific tools for dealing with this challenging time in their lives. It is written to address the psychological effects of job loss and to help provide the reader with resilience, a well-thought-out plan, and a positive outlook during their search for employment.

Life doesn't stop when you're unemployed. But what do the days look like in between leaving and finding a job? How do you keep your spirits up? What about those bills? And could it be that this time might actually be an opportunity for growth? WORKING WHEN YOU'RE NOT considers these questions and more with a series of short chapters that speak to those who are in between as well as their friends and family. Written by someone who's been there and done that, WWYN explores this 'in between' space with humor and compassion. What readers are saying... "Perspective is critical in a crisis-yet perspective in a crisis is always in short supply. Dan Schmidt gives perspective to the crisis of being between jobs. He's been wounded but has stopped the bleeding, and now he shares how to keep track of who we really are even when the job-market hasn't. With his heart on his sleeve and a wry grin, he provides perspective that's neither a pat on the back nor a kick in the seat of the pants; it's truth served with a friendly smile. All of us will either want the book for ourselves or for a friend. --Bishop David Roller, Free Methodist Church USA "Dan Schmidt speaks from experience, and having been between jobs myself, I can say he speaks from understanding and compassion. This is a book of encouragement and hope for those who find themselves in the season of not working-and for those who know it's always a possibility, which means all of us. --Glynn Young, author of "Dancing Priest" and "Poetry at Work," and Twitter editor at The High Calling "I'm quite certain I've never heard of, let alone read, a book on what to do when you're out of work. In Working When You're Not, Dan has addressed a subject that most people have faced or will face if not once, probably many times throughout their lives. Reading the book is like sitting down with a mentor who has switched jobs, lost jobs, and been laid off (which is exactly who Dan is) and listening to them pour into you bits of wisdom and truth. --Dave Jacobs, author, blogger, church consultant, and founder of Small Church Pastor "In this book Dan is a kind guide, walking patiently with us through those most difficult of times: the days when we are unemployed, the periods of our life when income is not coming in. It is both sympathetic and encouraging and somehow gives me the sense that even the most difficult of paths will lead us home. --Shawn Smucker, author of "The Day the Angels Fell" and "Building a Life Out of Words"

For most of us, work is a basic daily fact of life. But that simple fact encompasses an incredibly wide range of experiences. Hard at Work takes readers into the day-to-day work experiences of more than fifty working people in Singapore who hold jobs that run from the ordinary to the unusual: from ice cream vendors, baristas, police officers and funeral directors to academic ghostwriters, temple flower sellers, and Thai disco girl agents. Through first-person narratives based on detailed interviews, vividly augmented with color photographs, Hard at Work reminds us of the everyday labor that continually goes on around us, and that every job can reveal something interesting if we just look closely enough. It shows us too the ways inequalities of status and income are felt and internalized in this highly globalized society.

Whether it's working for free in exchange for 'experience', enduring poor treatment in the name of being 'part of the family', or clocking serious overtime for a good cause, more and more of us are pushed to make sacrifices for the privilege of being able to do work we enjoy.Work Won't Love You Back examines how we all bought into this 'labour of love' myth: the idea that certain work is not really work, and should be done for the sake of passion rather than pay. Through the lives and experiences of various workers--from the unpaid intern and the overworked teacher, to the nonprofit employee, the domestic worker and even the professional athlete--this compelling book reveals how we've all been tricked into a new tyranny of work.Sarah Jaffe argues that understanding the labour of love trap will empower us to work less and demand what our work is worth. Once freed, we can finally figure out what actually gives us joy, pleasure and satisfaction.

From bestselling writer David Graeber—“a master of opening up thought and stimulating debate” (Slate)—a powerful argument against the rise of meaningless, unfulfilling jobs…and their consequences. Does your job make a meaningful contribution to the world? In the spring of 2013, David Graeber asked this question in a playful, provocative essay titled “On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs.” It went viral. After one million online views in seventeen different languages, people all over the world are still debating the answer. There are hordes of people—HR consultants, communication coordinators, telemarketing researchers, corporate lawyers—whose jobs are useless, and, tragically, they know it. These people are caught in bullshit jobs. Graeber explores one of society’s most vexing and deeply felt concerns, indicting among other villains a particular strain of finance capitalism that betrays ideals shared by thinkers ranging from Keynes to Lincoln. “Clever and charismatic” (The New Yorker), Bullshit Jobs gives individuals, corporations, and societies permission to undergo a shift in values, placing creative and caring work at the center of our culture. This book is for everyone who wants to turn their vocation back into an avocation and “a thought-provoking examination of our working lives” (Financial Times).

A visionary guide for the future of learning and work Long Life Learning: Preparing for Jobs That Don’t Even Exist Yet offers readers a fascinating glimpse into a near-future where careers last 100 years, and education lasts a lifetime. The book makes the case that learners of the future are going to repeatedly seek out educational opportunities throughout the course of their working lives — which will no longer have a beginning, middle, and end. Long Life Learning focuses on the disruptive and burgeoning innovations that are laying the foundation for a new learning model that includes clear navigation, wraparound and funding supports, targeted education, and clear connections to more transparent hiring processes. Written by the former chief innovation officer of Strada Education Network’s Institute for the Future of Work, the book examines: How will a dramatically extended lifespan affect our careers? How will more time in the workforce shape our educational demands? Will a four-year degree earned at the start of a 100-year career adequately prepare us for the challenges ahead? Perfect for anyone with an interest in the future of education and Clayton Christensen’s theories of disruptive innovation, Long Life Learning provides an invaluable glimpse into a future that many of us have not even begun to imagine.

A wide-ranging look at the allure and changing significance of work.With seductions, misunderstandings, and misinformation everywhere, this immensely readable book calls for a new contract--with ourselves. Drawing from history, mythology, literature, pop culture, and practical experience, Ciulla probes the many meanings of work or its meaninglessness and asks: Why are so many of us letting work take over our lives and trying to live in what little time is left? What has happened to the old, unspoken contract between worker and employer? Why are young people not being disloyal when they regularly consider job-changing? Employers can't promise as much to workers as before. Is that because they promise so much to stockholders? Why are there mass layoffs and "downsizing" in a time of unequaled corporate prosperity? And why are the most common lies in business about satisfactory employee performance? The traditional contract between employers and employees is over. This thoughtful and provocative study shows how to replace it by the one we make with ourselves.

Probing the ominous side of career advice to "follow your passion," this data-driven study explains how the passion principle fails us and perpetuates inequality by class, gender, and race; and it suggests how we can reconfigure our relationships to paid work. "Follow your passion" is a popular mantra for career decision-making in the United States. Passion-seeking seems like a promising path for avoiding the potential drudgery of a life of paid work, but this "passion principle"—seductive as it is—does not universally translate. The Trouble with Passion reveals the significant downside of the passion principle: the concept helps culturally legitimize and reproduce an exploited, overworked white-collar labor force and broadly serves to reinforce class, race, and gender segregation and inequality. Grounding her investigation in the paradoxical tensions between capitalism's demand for ideal workers and our cultural expectations for self-expression, sociologist Erin A. Cech draws on interviews that follow students from college into the workforce, surveys of US workers, and experimental data to explain why the passion principle is such an attractive, if deceptive, career decision-making mantra, particularly for the college educated. Passion-seeking presumes middle-class safety nets and springboards and penalizes first-generation and working-class young adults who seek passion without them. The ripple effects of this mantra undermine the promise of college as a tool for social and economic mobility. The passion principle also feeds into a culture of overwork, encouraging white-collar workers to tolerate precarious employment and gladly sacrifice time, money, and leisure for work they are passionate about. And potential employers covet, but won't compensate, passion among job applicants. This book asks, What does it take to center passion in career decisions? Who gets ahead and who gets left behind by passion-seeking? The Trouble with Passion calls for citizens, educators, college administrators, and industry leaders to reconsider how we think about good jobs and, by extension, good lives.
