You Can't Fall Off The Floor!
(2014)The Insiders' Guide to Re-Inventing Yourself and Your Career
A non fiction book by Steve Blacker and Charles Salzberg
Whatever your age or length of service with your current employer, the odds are that you will need to re-invent yourself several times during the coming decade. The phenomenon of needing to move from job to job to be successful in business is very real. According to the U.S. Department of Labor: "By the time someone reaches thirty-eight, he or she will have held ten to fourteen different jobs!"
Whether you're just starting out, starting over, or content with the job you have, this book can make the difference between success or failure, and, more important, between enjoying what you do and hating what you do.
