Navigating Career Change? Give Yourself a Gift of a Book

12/17/2015

0 Comments

 
​This time of the year is a time of joy, family, friends, travel and good food. But it’s also a time of making lists.  You see them everywhere. To-do lists, gift wish lists, top ten lists, you name it.  So, in keeping with the spirit of the season, I wanted to share a list of my own. 

Here is a list of my favorite books in the career transition genre (also to be found on BOLD website’s resource page).  These books were useful to me when I navigated my own transition.  I hope they can add value to someone else going through career change or doing soul searching related to what they want to do in the coming year.  
 
Women returning to work after a career break may enjoy reading book #5 below entitled “Back on the Career Track”. It’s written by the founders of iRelaunch (www.irelaunch.com) -- a organization that has been instrumental in launching returnship programs in companies from a wide range of industries, including finance, law, and education.  Post your resume on their website, attend an event or a conference and connect with other returnees.
