Unemployed But Not Destroyed - Kindle Book - Available


Unemployed But Not Destroyed is released by Book Express Publishing. Unemployed But Not Destroyed is a look at what being unemployed and trying to find a new job is like in this unique economic climate. This is an examination of the new joblessness currently being experienced by job seekers through the eyes of someone that has been among their ranks for over one year. The goal is to alert those on the front end of joblessness to what they may face. Everything has changed from the way resumes’ are prepared to the job search itself. Even expectations on how many live interviews a job seeker will receive need to be tempered. For those already in the throes of long term unemployment, it is a checkpoint for them to see how their experiences stack up with others.

The economic meltdown that manifested itself with the loss of as many as 700,000 jobs per month at its peak has left over 13 million people unemployed and as many as 8 million underemployed. This massive supply of job seekers has occurred at a time when the process of finding a new job had changed drastically. The new job search is a web of online job searches, resume key word scanning and networking to find an inside advocate.  This new world of seeking new employment has created much confusion and frustration among job seekers accustomed to a much different way of find a new job.

The process to find new work has left many feeling that they can’t cut through this maze and come out on the other side as a whole person. Unemployed But Not Destroyed is written to alert the uninitiated on what to expect when trying to navigate through the new age job search. There are also sections that address issues such as attacks on unemployed workers by some politicians and the attempts to stigmatize those receiving unemployment compensation.

The message is that you can be unemployed but not destroyed at your core, but it requires a shift in your thought process.
