BLINDSIDED: Surviving Career Meltdown, by internationally respected Industrial Organizational Psychologist Roger E. Hawkins, Ph.D. transcends those books focused on finding employment. Dr. Hawkins has created a hands-on, empathic, and completely action-driven book for the unemployed salaried technical and professional worker reeling from this epidemic of downsizing, as well as professionals reevaluating career choices and those educators, coaches, and teachers who offer wise counsel. In a sense, this book is for every adult grappling with employment issues and how career choices positively or negatively affect their lives. The six sections of this book speak to the central components that sustain and encourage our efforts to regain footing in tumultuous times. From self assessment to preparing resumes, clarifying short- and long-term career objectives to acing the interview, this practical and user-friendly guide will make career searching not only more logical, but more satisfying.
