About this title

Synopsis

An employee's survival guide for the workplace. In a corporate climate of "downsizing" and increased competition, many professionals find themselves working longer days with less oportunity for growth and advancement, while living under the ever-present threat of termination. This guide provides apprehensive workers with tips and advice that should help them cope with job insecurity and plan their own employment future. Focusing on the four major challenges of becoming a job survivor - advancing and thriving in a current job, job-hunting or switching careers, relocating to find a job, and managing personal finances - the guide gives readers the tools they need to: recognize the signs that their jobs may be at risk; avoid the layoff axe; succeed without working long hours; gain powerful allies at work, build a power base, and get promoted; identify the financial considerations of a career change; evaluate continuing education needs; negotiate a salary; and deal with the problems of moving and the dual- career change.
