- street
- smart,
- inspiring,
- practical,
- and
- utterly
- honest
- book
- for
- renewing
- or
- resuming
- your
- career.Millions
- of
- mid-
- to
- late-career
- professionals
- are
- wondering
- why
- our
- careers
- are
- dying.
- We've
- been
- fired,
- downsized,
- job-eliminated,
- or
- we've
- left
- work
- voluntarily
- to
- raise
- children,
- care
- for
- loved
- ones,
- or
- go
- to
- school
- It
- takes
- twice
- as
- long
- to
- get
- hired,
- and
- usually
- for
- far
- less
- money
- than
- we
- were
- making.
- Is
- it
- age
- discrimination?
- Maybe.
- But
- it’s
- not
- that
- simple.So
- many
- of
- us
- have
- lagged
- on
- skills
- and
- technology,
- shrugged
- off
- social
- media,
- or
- ignored
- the
- rate
- of
- change
- and
- let
- younger
- people
- become
- the
- face
- of
- our
- profession’s
- future.
- Our
- “track
- record”
- really
- doesn’t
- matter.
- We
- want
- to
- come
- back,
- but
- we
- aren’t
- ready.
- Coming
- Back
- offers
- clear
- advice,
- including:•
- STOP
- PLAYING
- THE
- VICTIM,
- even
- if
- you
- are
- one.
•
- BRAND
- YOURSELF
- AS
- A
- CHANGE
- DRIVER
- who
- studies
- trends
- and
- studies
- independently
- so
- you
- are
- diving
- into
- change,
- not
- reacting
- to
- it.
•
- CALL
- IN
- THE
- CHITS.
- It
- is
- time
- to
- go
- guerrilla
- and
- bluntly
- ask
- for
- help
- from
- people
- who
- can
- get
- you
- what
- you
- want
- and
- need.
•
- TELL
- INTERVIEWERS
- about
- what
- you
- will
- do—don’t
- rely
- on
- what
- you
- have
- done.
•
- STOP
- GROUSING
- about
- “those
- millennials”
- and
- start
- working
- with
- them.
•
- BOUNCE
- BACK
- from
- a
- layoff
- or
- firing.Coming
- Back
- shows
- how
- you
- can
- save
- a
- career
- if
- still
- employed
- or
- get
- one
- back
- if
- cast
- out.
