Recommendation

In recent years, the popularity of professionals changing occupations mid-career has exploded. Becoming a successful “Switcher” is a challenge, but author Dawn Graham’s thoughtful guide explains how to make the leap as painlessly as possible. Included are strategies for overcoming psychological obstacles and creating an effective game plan, as well as detailed instructions on networking, branding and interviewing. The text’s clear but lively style, solid references and on-point examples make the book a valuable asset for would-be Switchers of all stripes. 

Take-Aways

  • Prime yourself for job-hunting success with the “Four Rs” of the Switcher mind-set.
  • Beat your “lizard brain” with positive thinking.
  • Make and follow through on your “Plan A.”
