REVIEWS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This book is a great tool
for those who face the challenge of returning to the workforce, particularly
after a life-changing injury. Career change can be a stressful time for anyone
but for those who face the daunting task of overcoming physical barriers, the
process can become overwhelming. This book provides assurance to those going
through a similar situation and delivers a framework for the overall job search
process. The author is very experienced and knowledgeable in this area and
provides a simple guide for those who need a lot of instruction and guidance
but also for those who are seeking some general advice. I would recommend this
tool for anyone who faces the challenge of today's labor market and especially
for those who will be overcoming new physical challenges.

Even
if you are currently employed you will likely benefit from the material covered
in this section, especially if considering a job or career change. When
you are out of work it affects your life and also your loved ones, friends and
past employer and/or coworkers. Not only do you not know what to do or
where to turn, but chances are good that those around you don't either. Share
this information with them so they can better support you!
You are most likely a
hard worker who wants nothing but to get back to work. You may have been
in the same job for a long time. You may fear or have already been told
that you will not be able to return to work in the same position. Ever.
What can you do? What should you do?
Fear is often at the core of
most unexpected change and an unexpected work injury is no different.
During the initial phases of an injury medical treatment and your job
security may be unclear. The more you can do to clarify your situation,
the better you can plan your next steps.
So, what should you do if you
have been laid off?
· Stay in constant communication with
your employer - it is important that they understand that you want to come back
to work as quickly as possible.
· Arrange all documents you receive in a
folder in order of least to most recent.
· Keep a journal of all conversations
and events - include dates, times,
location, expenses, mileage, a summary of
what was said or done.
· Ask questions and take notes of the
answers - write the questions or concerns down as they come to you; you won't
remember them at your next meeting.
· Take stock of the resources you do
have - including your support system; make a list of resources you may still
need.
· If you have been injured, understand
your state's Workers'
Compensation Laws.
Do you need an attorney? A good attorney
can help in almost any circumstance and most do not charge for an initial
consult - in most jurisdictions attorneys are
paid on contingency (meaning only
if you win your case), or from the funds that they are able to get for you.
Another emotion that often enters into
the picture when someone is unemployed is grief. Grief over the loss of:
Acknowledging and labeling these feelings goes a long way toward being able to discuss and work through them. It can be a great relief just to have someone say “I hear you.” or “I know exactly what you are saying” or “You have been through a lot.” Just the validation of what you are feeling from another person can help so much. What else can you do? Grief often progresses through stages - not always in the same way, order, or time frames. However, you may find the following helpful. Revisit the next section periodically to assess how you are doing and to remind yourself of coping strategies!
