Michael Froehls, PhD, a former McKinsey consultant and successful global executive, turns conventional wisdom upside down - he suggests that you should overcome your reflex to immediately look for the next job after losing one. Don't miss out on your chance to do things you never had time for while being employed. Why not pursue a few activities that really matter to you before continuing your hard 30- to 40-year-long working life? What not realize some lifelong travel dreams, improve your health, invest in family and friends, fire up your love life, acquire new job skills, or check out a different location for a better career?In this book, you will find practical advice on how to take advantage of your opportunity without regret. Written from a business perspective with philosophical underpinnings, enriched by personal stories and serious thought-provoking questions, The Gift of Job Loss will help you:* - Understand the "Job Seeker Industrial Complex" and its influence on you* - Revitalize your life via 7 no-regret and up to 8 optional activities* - Identify personal and professional strategic options hitherto unavailable* - Optimize your "game of life" - living now vs. living in the future* - Analyze the implications of an economic recession vs. boom for your time off* - Plan your own step-by-step course of action - whether you are about to be let go, just got laid-off, or are still "safely" employedAfter losing his corporate job, Michael decided to sidestep the recession by doing what he advocates in this book. Headhunters, former colleagues, and friends called his move and timing one of the smartest decisions anybody could make - though few would dare because of convention and apprehension. If you face job loss, reading this book should help you overcome any despair and make you see your situation in a much more positive light.

Whether due to downsizing, layoffs, business failures, staff cuts, or retirement, JOB LOSS is traumatic. Not only is it painful to the person affected, it impacts his friendships, his families, his former coworkers, his community, and most certainly will change his life, perhaps permanently. In this economy, not a street in America has been immune to witnessing the immense tarnishing of the American Dream. This book takes the participant, victim, or those concerned about the unemployed worker, through an analysis of the grief process and personality traits, leading him/her through the reordering and reprioritizing stage... Here are some comments from those who have read the manuscript:"This is a clear, constructive guide with a no-nonsense attitude that gives advice on how to handle job loss."The fact that you have 'been there' and understand is obvious from your references to the feelings of needing 'fulfillment and of being valued'. The list of the book's purpose and the personality profiles make is very user-friendly."I also like the Note to Self which pulls subject matter into focus and guides the reader on what to do next."This has a strong feeling of the individual taking responsibility for their own future and I am sure they will find your guide a great help in guiding them on that journey."Well, your experience as a teacher certainly shines through in this. You know your subject and have created a handbook that will prove extremely useful to those wondering' what's next?' in their life and/or career."Another reader writes: "Thank you so much for writing this self-help guide - something which is very necessary in the times we are living in where having a good education is not always a guarantee of remaining employed. I read your book with interest and appreciation."Another book reviewer shares: "Time is a great healer and it is with time that the healing process helps us to overcome the drastic consequences that have befallen us. "In the meantime it is wonderful to have a book like yours to help lessen the pain that the person who has lost their job is going through. Because it is painful to lose your job.It can be a mind numbing experience."It's good to have a dream. The dream of getting a good education in order to get a good job sounds great. It doesn't always work out well though for some people. Even with good education, excellent qualifications and a great reputation in doing your job efficiently, a person can still lose hisjob through no fault of his own."Unfortunately job loss is a global epidemic at the moment. Due to the economic downturn everyone is suffering in some way or another. "Even if someone does not lose his job, he may have suffered a reduction in wages. Work time may have been halved. You can get very afraid about the immediate future if your job is threatened."Another writer shares: "What a nice pep talk to guide someone back into the work force. Sometimes just laying it out in plain and simple fashion can identify our weaknesses and turn them into strengths."The book also has a spiritual dimension: Jeremiah 29: 11-13 says: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you," declares the Lord, "and will bring you back from captivity."This book deals with the physical, psychological, sociological, financial, spiritual, and interrelational aspects of job loss. It gives a step by step action plan for regeneration after the very real grieving process which occurs with job loss.This book should be part of every company's severance package, and should be a gift to those struggling with job loss, or even anticipating such an event's occurence. It's Handbook section alone is reason to own it.

Our jobs are often a big part of our identities, and when we are fired, we can feel confused, hurt, and powerless—at sea in terms of who we are. Drawing on extensive, real-life interviews, Job Loss, Identity, and Mental Health shines a light on the experiences of unemployed, middle-class professional men and women, showing how job loss can affect both identity and mental health. Sociologist Dawn R. Norris uses in-depth interviews to offer insight into the experience of losing a job—what it means for daily life, how the unemployed feel about it, and the process they go through as they try to deal with job loss and their new identities as unemployed people. Norris highlights several specific challenges to identity that can occur. For instance, the way other people interact with the unemployed either helps them feel sure about who they are, or leads them to question their identities. Another identity threat happens when the unemployed no longer feel they are the same person they used to be. Norris also examines the importance of the subjective meaning people give to statuses, along with the strong influence of society’s expectations. For example, men in Norris’s study often used the stereotype of the “male breadwinner” to define who they were. Job Loss, Identity, and Mental Health describes various strategies to cope with identity loss, including “shifting” away from a work-related identity and instead emphasizing a nonwork identity (such as “a parent”), or conversely “sustaining” a work-related identity even though he or she is actually unemployed. Finally, Norris explores the social factors—often out of the control of unemployed people—that make these strategies possible or impossible. A compelling portrait of a little-studied aspect of the Great Recession, Job Loss, Identity, and Mental Health is filled with insight into the identity crises that unemployment can trigger, as well as strategies to help the unemployed maintain their mental strength.

"Nearly one hundred years after the Great Depression, Dorothea Lange's indelible photographs remain vivid in our collective memory as the face of unemployment. Her portraits showed down and out men waiting in breadlines and the desperation of families living through the trauma of job loss. Though evocative, however, these pictures don't look much like today's unemployed. Instead of male laborers in breadlines or relief camps, today we see men and women in equal numbers, manual laborers and high-flying executives, high school graduates alongside those with college degrees. The one truth about unemployment held constant between then and now is the anxiety and disquiet Lange captioned, "The Toll of Uncertainty." Ten years ago, we had our own devastating recession, during which one out of every six workers reported a job loss. The lesson we carried from it into the following decade was that all workers are at heightened risk for job loss and its accompanying uncertainty. Although media outlets dubbed the Great Recession of 2007-2009 a "man-cession" because men's job losses were double women's at first, women experienced greater job loss after the so-called "conclusion" of the recession and recovered jobs at a slower rate than men. Women also appeared to face greater economic consequences of job loss: they were more likely than men to experience hunger and deprivation. These trends bring us to the first puzzle at the heart of this book: do women and men experience job loss and its effects differently? Using in-depth interviews from 100 people from rural and urban counties in Pennsylvania, Sarah Damaske investigates how men and women of different classes lose jobs, experience the economic and social ramifications of their unemployment in their own lives and their family life, and begin to search for work again. She argues that many of ways we have thought about unemployment are either incomplete (like the breadline) or just plain wrong"--
