Description

Although there have been some improvements in the job market since the 2008-2013 recession, there are many labor market forces indicating that this lack of full time, secure jobs will be common in the future. This book discusses such labor market forces and suggests strategies for surviving and thriving in such a job market.

If, however, in the unlikely event that the future job markets have enough full time, permanent, secure jobs, the skills and knowledge readers will learn in this book also will help them to stand out over other job applicants in a favorable job market. That can mean that they will be hired for better jobs and hired sooner than other job applicants.

Readers of this book will learn skills and knowledge that will help them in any type of job market of the future. Readers will learn how to get out of debt and save money for periods of unemployment. They will learn how to start and operate a small business that can be a lifesaver during times of unemployment. Readers will learn how hobbies, a healthy diet, and exercise can keep them mentally and physically healthy during times of uncertain healthcare. They will learn the best job search and survival skills that will help to them find new jobs quickly and to be employed until they want a change of jobs. Finally, readers will learn how to develop strong computer skills that will help them to thrive in the increasingly automated jobs of the future.

Careers are important. Everyone most likely will spend more of their time working than they will on any other activity in their lives. Their work satisfaction also will strongly affect the satisfaction they experience during the hours when they are not working. Work success is an important part of life, and it also is important to those family members who someday might be depending upon these workers. Thus, it is important for workers to master the skills and to use the knowledge described in this book. Nobody can take care of their careers as well as they can take care of their careers.

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.

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.

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.
