Wanted -> A New Career helps people take their skills from their current jobs and careers and transition them to new careers, even if they have never done that job before. This book provides the guidance for job seekers who were fired or furloughed and need a job outside their chosen field because it's not coming back fast enough to put food on the table and pay the rent (e.g., event planning, travel industry), job seekers who are unsatisfied in their chosen career (sometimes for decades!) and have no idea what they want to do or can do next, job seekers who know what they want to do but have no obvious experience doing it, and job seekers who have been out of the workforce for years and want a proven plan to reenter.More than ever, people need to determine what they want to do - what they CAN do - with their skills to pay their mortgages and feed their families. And they must learn how to position those transferrable skills quickly and perfectly through the lens of the new job to convince a recruiter to talk to them and a hiring manager to consider them over everyone else.

Are you tired of asking "What should I do with my life?" Are you sick of your job? Don't worry, I know how you feel! I used to start every working week saying "I hate my job" and spend every Friday night drinking too much to drown my misery. I was a cubicle worker in large corporates, going to pointless meetings, writing endless documents no one would read, testing computer systems that would soon be obsolete. Every day, my soul and my creativity died a little. Maybe you feel the same? Well, life is too short to just exist on the edge of breakdown, and there is a better way of living. You need to discover what you love to do and then make that your job, your life's work. This book will take you through understanding the way you feel now as well as how to improve your current situation immediately so you can create enough space to work on breaking out and doing what you truly love. It also contains the career change process I used to go from management consultant to full-time author-entrepreneur. It's time to change your career and your life.

Certain large industries have contributed more than their share of layoffs and downsizing, and our slow economy has more than a few employees scared and uncertain of their futures. As many as 20 million people are dissatisfied in their current occupations. Some of those are unhappy workers afraid to start a new career or reevaluate their current occupation or field. People today change jobs more than ever. It's rare for an employee to stay at one company for a lifetime and retire there. The best strategy for those laid-off or dissatisfied with their work is to consider new careers in industries and fields where people are needed and wanted, now and in the future. In To Find a Job . . . Start a New Career, Dr. Marvin Rafal explains to the job seeker or worker rethinking his or her career what an organization looks for and how management evaluates employees for raises, bonuses, and promotions. After all, why do we work? We work for more than financial reasons. Our occupation has psychological benefits. Socialization, creativity, and power can each play into our job choices. An unhappy job situation can create physical problems—headaches, lack of sleep, constant worry, high blood pressure, and even a weakened immune system. The stress can also have mental ramifications: depression, low self-esteem, and irritability. Rafal helps readers evaluate their personality and career choices no matter their age or socioeconomic situation. To Find a Job . . . Start a New Career offers years of experience on becoming more fulfilled and finding a challenging profession.
