by Andrew Taylor (Author)
For most people, a fear of redundancy hangs over them like a dark cloud. In Andrew Taylor's case, it was a sudden, brutal push in the back. Building on his contribution to the Aftershock series on dealing with redundancy in The Sunday Times and his own personal experiences, Burning the Suit shows how it can be used as an opportunity to take control of your life. This is for anyone who is looking for more in life than a 9-5 job, featuring: * Disaster or Opportunity? * What am I going to do? * Taking stock, taking control, and taking a new opportunity * Outplacement agencies, counsellors, and career coaches * Selling yourself * Being your own boss * Networking * Making it happen
