Finding Work Without Losing Heart: Bouncing Back from Mid-Career Job Loss

Rating:
Summary: This book helped me more than any other after losing my job.
Review: This book speaks directly to the 3 real impediments so many dedicated professionals face when they lose their job -- depression/self-recrimination, bitterness and loss of perspective.

The book also gives practical job search tips, especially (but not limited to) for higher level professionals.

What Color is Your Parachute is an outstanding guide to job hunting but not much help until a job-seeker gets past the problems above. Buy both books.
