On Why I Wrote this Book...I'm not an expert on job hunting, unemployment trends or careers. I don't do career coaching on the side, nor do I plan to start.I am simply someone who was surprised by how bad being out-of-work (for over eight months) felt. As my confidence and mood plummeted, I turned to books and devoured any memoirs that featured a long stretch of unemployment. There were not a lot, but the ones I found helped me feel less alone in my struggles.After I began working again, I wanted to share my story, because I think we can learn from others. But then I thought, "hmm, learn from otherS" with the emphasis being on the plural.What if I could create a website and then a book that would tell of other people's struggles, triumphs and advice on being out-of-work and how they returned to earning a living. Each person's story could bring their unique challenges, including:- physical limitations- looking for a first job ("must have job experience")- trying to find a job over the age of 40, 50, 60... etc.- wanting or needing to change careers- looking for work after being fired- and moreI put out a call for people to share their stories, asked what they would do differently and what advice they could give to others. I have woven their stories together, captured in interviews and essays into this book in the hope that it helps someone else who is having a rough time of being out-of-work.Anne EmerickReader's Reactions:"Such a wonderful read!! I have cried, sighed, chuckled and most of all felt like I'm not alone in this thing. THANKS FOR WRITING THIS ONE." ~Sharon Brandon, Certified Professional Life Coach"This book was filled with inspirational stories that gave me the confidence and permission to not be so tough on myself while I let the universe work things out. Anyone can find themselves unemployed but you must keep your mind strong to turn things around, this book will give you the food your mind needs! Side note: I have found a new place of employment over the last week! Maybe this book subconsciously helped" ~Sheridan Watkins
