SHOP NOdW:
I'm 53 and interviewing to go back to work. I pre-ordered this book and was so psyched when it arrived today. My problem? I'm nervous about returning to work, I think my CV looks weak, and I'm pretty sure I'm often not even being considered because of my age. Well, I'm done with kids so maybe I'm an even better bet than a younger woman! I know from her Know Your Value series that these are topics Mika is certain to address and I need this advice Today! I heard her say on Morning Joe this morning something about women getting out of their own way, changing their minds about their own possible value to a prospective employer, and I'm pretty sure I need to read that chapter closely. I think Mika writes well and has been exactly where so many women are in the employment arena, so I respect her advice and look forward to this read! Great cover.
This book is so important, specifically for anyone looking to make a career change or come back from time off. I think it is helpful for women at all stages of their career, because it is never too early to plan for upcoming changes. The combination of Mika and Ginny’s perspectives is interesting and shows how our different choices can take us on different paths.
