Ordered chronologically by steps, this book has everything, including how to prepare yourself before you lose your job, how to protect yourself legally during the process, how to protect yourself financially (including health insurance!), and how to get back on your feet afterwards. It's like a how-to book on every process related to jobs, before, during, and after. Even if you haven't been laid-off/fired yet and are just considering your options, this book is a great source of information. Book gives how-to's on job fairs, resumes, cover letters, interviews, and much, much more. Case studies are very helpful. Each case study gives a detailed account of showcased person's experience and subsequent advice to others. The appendix at the end is very useful. It contains several resources, laws and contact information, sometimes even separated by state (as are parts of the book, making it an easy go-to guide). To keep readers from falling asleep, there are very entertaining pictures sprinkled throughout the book. (I especially like the one on p.44). However, the book is targeted towards jobs with corporate industries. Some chapters may not apply if you're employed as part of an university or research organization. Still, there's enough information in this book that applies to all job types.Overall, the book contains tips and facts that are good to keep in mind, regardless of employment status. Though some of the advice we've probably all heard at least a hundred times, everyone should be aware of all their legal rights, especially during the current economic situation. Like the foreword says, "If you choose to read this book before you are fired, you will learn exactly what to do to prepare yourself financially and legally before it is too late." In other words, better safe than sorry.
