      About the Author

      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS:

      I decided to write this book to help people during a very difficult moment of their lives. Most of the tips included in the text are based upon my own personal experience. After a very successful career I was laid off due to circumstances completely beyond my control. All of the sudden I was, for the first time in my life, facing an uncertain future. Honestly, I did not know what to do or where to begin, I felt lost and scared. I wish someone could have given me advice and support, but when looking around I was alone. Beside the typical personal comforting comments and best wishes I did not receive any specific advice. Well this book is, in a way, my contribution to all people that need a guide to help finding a new job.Prologue

      When I lost my job, for the first time I was not receiving offers of employment and I urgently needed to find one. At first I felt ashamed and guilty. I asked myself, What have I done wrong?

      I didn’t want to share my feelings with friends and family, and certainly not my fears. How could a successful executive all of the sudden be unemployed?

      At the very beginning, I neglected to listen to people who wanted to help me. The uncertainty about my future was a burden heavier than I could bear. I tended to isolate myself from people and even began to distance myself from family and friends.

      Finally, I understood that this was just another challenge. I needed to change my attitude. It was not like in the past, when companies knocked at my door to offer me a job. I now had to be more proactive, aggressive, swallow my pride and walk a path I had never walked before.

      I decided to write this book to help millions of people who are currently unemployed, and whose lifestyle is at risk. Yes, it is not only a new job, but it’s also your life. Once we understand that, then we have already taken the first step in the right direction.

      Transform This Bad Experience Into A Positive One

      As unemployed people tend to be over stressed, concerned and worried, they miss the opportunity to enjoy things. Do not do that to yourself. I did it for a long time. I know it is difficult, but you must fight for yourself. Take as much as you can from this experience.

      Improve your skills, enjoy your family, organize your life, take time off, but most importantly, stay active in looking for a new job.

      Introduction

      For most people, their work is an extremely important part of their life. It is their main source of income, and unfortunately we need money to pay our bills. When you lose your job, that feeling of security fades away, exposing you to your deepest concerns.

      In addition to that, your routine is modified. You need to create a new dynamic in your life. This is a very challenging situation but you must work on it. It is healthy to build a new routine.

      The current labor market situation is extremely volatile. Even employed people start to worry about their own position. Nowadays, securing a job is essential and also difficult. It does not depend solely on the employee’s performance, but also on the company in particular and the economy in general.

      There are two main tendencies in the market that increase uncertainty.

      Employers Tend To Hire Employed People

      I do not have a definitive reason for that, but it
