Having a solid understanding of what you have to offer and how and where to market your services will give you a decided advantage in the increasingly competitive race for work opportunities. Managing the transition process from one engagement to another becomes a significant effort in itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Transitional Career, as used in this book, refers to a work-life cycle incorporating a series of job engagements, which may be part-time or full-time, often separated by periods of non-paid activity. Job engagements may last for hours, days, weeks or months and may be consecutive or concurrent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePursuing a Transitional Career requires a different perspective on searching for a job engagement than the more traditional approach of seeking a long term job commitment. As you will see in “Seven Steps,” seeking new job engagements is a continuous effort. I wrote this workbook as a guide, taking the role of a personal coach to you, the reader.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Transitional Career can be very rewarding. This work-life cycle alternative has attracted management consultants, independent contractors and other professional service providers for decades. The “Seven Steps” workbook has been designed to help people who are:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e● in job transition and want to find work\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e● working but are concerned about their future\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e● interested in exploring consulting or contracting\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e● retired but need additional income\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e● entering the work place for the first time","brand":"Human Resource Development Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068445835504,"sku":"2940012646262","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012646262_p0.jpg?v=1763570792","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012646262","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
