Take Charge of Your Career - Softcover

What's going on in your career? Moreau tells readers that the 1990s demand that people avoid complacency and continuously evaluate their careers so that they control events before events control them. In an environment of shake-ups, cutbacks, and changing roles for managers, the author's aim is to prepare readers for the challenge of a rapidly shifting career. He advises them to take charge and offers a host of ideas, including ongoing development of new skills, such as learning a second language and working comfortably with people from different cultures; working at home and the special challenges that work arrangement represents; and surviving a merger and evaluating a new job offer. Once people learn how to take control, the author says, they should stay in charge with a maintenance program of networking, exercise programs, and stress management. Mary Whaley
