In today's unpredictable, restructuring economy, everyone runs the risk of unemployment, getting those dread pink slips, attending those crazy parties. This offers a thoughtful, step-by-step process for getting organized, getting to work again & enjoying yourself!

Whether you're trying to cope with unemployment or attempting to find your way into a new career Try! has a pleasing & upbeat direction for you to take.

Now that you have all that “free” time what are you going to do with it?
Do you want to learn how to budget that time, how to mine your talents?
What about money?
Would you like to learn how to put a work search day together?
How to handle the emotions?
How to begin to find the treasure in yourself?
What are the definitions of work that most fit your uniqueness?

With practical & timeless techniques this authors has composed a short little book out of her own experiences of being unemployed. The first time she got a pink slip, she froze & took a nose dive into depression, self-doubt & lethargy. Then the Cosmos took pity & found her work. Before she had time to settle in, BAM! -- the company went into re-structuring & she was on the slide down into unemployment again.

On the second time around, Karen Okulicz started to pay attention! Began to keep records of moods, interviews, inquiries -- everything & from all those notes she compiled this exhortation to the rest of us!

Try! is a good little book -- do yourself a favor -- spend the $10.00 -- it's worth every dime! Keep it, read it & be prepared for when that pink slip flutters your way. If you already have been handed yours & are now wallowing around in the doldrums -- take heart, buy a copy & set to work on the exercises & processes described therein. Your workless time will not be in vain.

Remember, this too shall pass! It's not forever!
