The Mid-Career Success Guide

Most people realize that the employment deal has changed: the days of lifetime employment, or even a clear trajectory up the corporate ladder, are long gone. People in mid-career today want to take greater control of their working lives for many reasons. But they are not sure of how to do that in a working world full of change, uncertainty, disappearing career paths, downsizings, and early retirement packages. In The Mid-Career Success Guide, Sally Power draws from her research in organizational psychology and career development to explain the sources and implications of these trends, and provide solutions to the challenges they present. Introducing the Employability Plus model (which focuses on the individual's work as a portfolio of skills, rather than on traditional job- or organization-centric approaches), and featuring real-life examples, interactive exercises, and an appendix of research tools and methods, The Mid-Career Success Guide offers fresh strategies and tactics for overcoming job stress and uncertainty, and proactively managing your career in midlife and beyond.
