Laid-off, let go, downsized, canned – no matter how you slice it, you’ve been fired, my friend. And unless you plan on marrying a millionaire or winning the lottery, you’ve got to figure out what you’re going to do for cash before the next round of bills arrives. But don’t worry because, believe it or not, getting fired is a good thing 99 percent of the time. That’s been the experience of entrepreneur Andy Kane, who has gone through more business cards than most people have teeth. Written with Kane’s trademark irreverent humor, this guide to surviving today’s economy offers practical, inventive, sure-fire advice on everything you’ll need to do to get back on top. You’ll learn how to get your foot in the door, create a résumé that will get noticed, evaluate job offers (and scams), network, turn a hobby into a career, start your own business, and more. If you’re out of work now or think a pink slip might be in your future, this book is required reading. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, softcover, illus., 104 p.
