About this book
Reviews
"Solidly grounded in scholarship, Robinson-Easley urges readers to become the principal change agents for their careers. Her proactive and visionary approach is sorely needed since the 'career' game has shifted. Gone is yesteryear's 'company man' career situated in a paternalistic and seniority-based organization, characterized by steady and predictable progression up the hierarchy, culminating in the certainty of retirement. Today's workplace 'free agency' model is entrepreneurial, necessitating high agency, resulting in multiple cross-functional, lateral, and external career moves, culminating in myriad outcomes. This book makes plain the new game and implores jobseekers to get on their 'A-game' by setting their own strategies and calling their own plays a quick and most necessary read." - J. Goosby Smith, Associate Professor, Pepperdine University, USA
"Dr. Easley's inspirational words, call for self-reflection, and practical advice on positioning one's self in today's challenging job market will boost you above the rest. Her positivity and determination leap from the pages and will inspire the reader to action!" - Laryssa J. Lavender, Director of Residence Life & Community Standards, Quincy University, USA
"A refreshingly candid, lucid exposition of the realities of today's global employment landscape. This is a highly recommended read for scholars, practitioners, employers, and employees who will find the book filled with information and insight aswell as practical tools and tips." - Tracy Elazier, Program Chair, DeVry University, USA
