Glassner, Barry Career Crash : The End of America's Love Affair with Work
New York, NY, U.S.A. Simon & Schuster 1994 0671690264 / 9780671690267 Hard Cover Fine Fine
In the past decade, career crashes have become a predictable crisis in the lives of many Americans. Based on a landmark study of men and women in their prime earning years, Career Crash is the first book to explore this epidemic - and to offer help in surviving it. This timely, encouraging book examines in detail what happens to Americans before, during, and after their careers fall apart. Sociologist Barry Glassner spent four years traveling the country, studying hundreds of successful, college-educated baby boomers who suffered career crashes as a result of corporate downsizing, career disenchantment, and other factors. Coming from such diverse professions as business, education, law, medicine, engineering, and the arts, these managers and professionals talk candidly about the warning signs that precede a crash, the devastating emotional reactions that ensue, what family and friends can do to help, and the pivotal stages in putting a career back on course. Everyone at the start of a career crash feels like a victim, beaten and robbed by a profession. But most of Glassner's subjects picked themselves up, dusted themselves off, and moved on. How did they salvage their pride? What did they tell their children? When did they opt for career counseling, when for going back to school? How long did it take them to forge a new career, and how many eventually felt themselves to be better off? For those in the throes of a career crash and for their loved ones, Career Crash answers these questions and many more. Vivid and inspiring, Career Crash explains why career crashes are inevitable for so many, and offers surprising solutions that go beyond simply pulling resumes together and going back to job hunting.
