Many of you may know Staci Backauskas as the author of the Fifth Goddess novel but she's back writing about one of the less expected topics, career transition. The title of the new ebook is The Nitty Gritty Tool For Career Transition. Before you run and hide from yet another ebook on how to get the perfect job you must read this one, it's different.
This would be the perfect gift to yourself or anyone who has found themselves in need of finding new employment or wanting to change careers this year. In this day and time those entering the job market (as in college students), or in the case of employees from Enron or Continental Airlines, who are faced with last minute pursuits of employment desperately need a book like The Nitty Gritty Tool for Career Transition.
Unlike most books covering this topic, Staci made a point to address the emotional aspects of being the person pursuing new employment.I'm very impressed with her encouragement of journal usage, the first I've seen in a book of this nature. As you may have noticed I liked the chapter addressing emotions because it motivates the reader to better themselves from inside out, canceling falsehoods and identifying "inner" issues.
Betcha didn't know you had a connection to your former co-workers that would cause you to feel a void (mourn) due to not working with them. Well you do according to Staci. I had to laugh when I read about the "void", because I've had to work with some horrific people in my day and I've yet to feel a void from not being in their presence.
Who ever heard of having fun while looking for a job? Staci's little masterpiece pushes people to have fun, she even went so far as to say volunteer some of your time to some worthwhile cause. Essentially Staci used this chapter to impress upon the reader they need to keep a perspective about their job hunt,otherwise they'll be creating more of what they've been trying to avoid, STRESS.
Miss Backauskas included all the typical mentions you would expect for a Career Transition ebook but, what separates it from the others is the personal touches added that redirects the reader back to themself. All too often job hunters don't look at the big picture that makes them desirable to companies until now. The author put the big picture into an easy to read format making it hard for the reader to not understand all of this ebook's tried and true advice.
I have to say this again,I really think the author did a magnificent job. There was no stone unturned, or in this case, not addressed in regards to the reader knowing how to package themselves to get the jobs they desire. Unlike many who will be seeking jobs, the reader will be prepared in ways any company would appreciate. I can say without a doubt those people who spend their lives settling for employment just because it was offered to them will get a rude awakening in a good way. This ebook gets five thumbs up, a must read!
