The average age of the working adult is rising each year, and a whole new generation of workers is facing problems that are unique to them. They aren't just starting out, nor are they thinking of retirement, but they are sandwiched in between. There hasn't been a realistic, accessible guidebook available to help them deal with their very particular problems ... until now.
The Critical Second Phase of Your Professional Life, a breakthrough approach to managing a career after age thirty-five, provides practical guidelines and advice not only for surviving, but also for thriving. Included is advice on:
-- Job insecurity. Increased competition in companies of all sizes and types has created fear of massive staff cuts and, in some cases, forced early retirement.
-- Technology that changes daily. Older professionals need to keep learning even when their ability to learn is not at its peak.
-- Less opportunity. As older people work longer, fewer jobs are available for the 35+ group to move in to.
-- Resentment felt by younger colleagues. Younger staffers, feeling stuck, direct their resentment at the group ahead of them (the 35+), isolating those employees or, worse yet, sabotaging them.
Through his own research and experience, and through exercises and quizzes he has created, Dilenschneider presents strategies to help readers evaluate whether they really are where they want to be professionally and challenges them to turn setbacks into opportunities, to consider alternatives, and to make the right decisions.
