by Gordon Adams

So you've been made redundant? Join the crowd. Redundancy is now a common life experience, especially in a global recession! Almost a quarter of adults will be affected by redundancy during their lifetime. But you are not a victim. What matters now is how you react to the challenge. Overcoming redundancy will help you make the right decisions at this crucial time and it will help you choose the right future direction. Overcoming redundancy contains advice from survivors - from those who have been made redundant and have not only survived but turned it to their advantage. Many now look back on redundancy, with the benefit of hindsight, as the best thing that ever happened to them. Use this book to learn from their experience and advice. Redundancy is an intensely emotional experience. It can affect your self-esteem and motivation. You are only human if you feel a sense of anger, betrayal or loss when you are made redundant. Overcoming redundancy will help you cope with the social and emotional impacts of redundancy. It will also provide valuable tips on managing the financial effects of redundancy. And most importantly it will help you look forwards, not backwards. If you've been made redundant, reading this book is the first step towards bouncing back. Good luck!

52 tips

Whilst some of the example resources focus on services provided in the UK there are similar services available in other countries. This book provides 52 practical yet positive tips for consideration. Having been made redundant twice in my life one of the key phrases is that redundancy is not your fault and one hasto accept this fact and move on. A great book to start the journey to the next stage in life.

The book was okay. It was constructed with very short chapters on specific ideas on being laid off (redundancy in England.) It had some decent ideas for everyone, but there are better books on the subject. This was focused on the UK, but that wasn't a problem. It is more of a feel-good book.
