Book description
Today's job market is radically different from the one our parents and grandparents knew - the one in which a loyal employee would retire after decades with the company that had hired her fresh out of college. Today, companies focus on pleasing shareholders and managing costs, leaving employees on their own, to fend for themselves. Corporate loyalty is largely a thing of the past , so savvy professionals, rather than bemoaning a new work environment for which they were not prepared, must retrain themselves and learn how to self-market for The Gig Economy. In "101 Ways to Find Work . . . and Kepp Finding Work for the Rest of Your Career!", career development specialist Dr. Charles Michael Austin offers a commonsense approach that is practical, relevant and valuable - and will help you succeed in the 21st Century Work world.
