Not my usual image topic I know – though the correct image and personal branding are crucial if you find yourself in this position -  but I’ve been featured in a wonderful book with this as its title. It’s a really inspiring and easy to read book which will motivate and encourage you if you do need to look for work and/or aren’t coping well with being out of a job. Full of real life experiences, it gives you ideas to help you move forward and perhaps ultimately see what appears to be your loss as a beneficial gain.
