I had given this a cursory read, but went back to it , as in the current climate it is very relevant. Some use ideas and information, particularly perhaps for those who have not been in the job market for a while.

This was a good title on how to arm yourself with the relevant knowledge in our rapidly shifting job market where automation, computers and technology, have taken over many jobs in the retail sector such as self-service checkout machines, online shopping and online banking etc. It also offers common tips on how to handle unemployment such as building an emergency fund that consists of at least 6 months worth of living expenses, developing your technical skills, maintaining good health and establishing an exercise regimen, learn how to start and operate a small business and constantly look for opportunities, the benefits of hobbies and volunteering, and in having a lifelong learning attitude and applying that to any job. Jobs are constantly changing and you must be on your guard. Overall a great read and thank you to NetGalley for providing me this title in exchange for an honest review, and thank you to the author Daniel Vale for writing this book to help people navigate the changing job market. I'll definitely take the tips offered in this title on board in my work.

It is in my current scope - to work on changes in the education sector. In my opinion the changes in our lives and in businesses are driven by technology. That's why this book caught my attention. I agree to the general point of getting ready for the future by working on different skills that may be useful. I have found the areas of skills suggested by the author very useful: financial literacy, running own business, being lifetime learner. These should be general guide for us all as developing curiosity for learning New is the most important skill that will keep you excited about life, motivate and will be very useful for any uncertain situation. The book has a lot of links to multiple resources as well. Interesting to read for anyone who is concerned about his job potentially disappoint or anyone who wants her motivation and push to lean new skills.
