If it seems like the rules have changed in the last three years, they have.  It's not your imagination. The rules on how to get a good paying, fulfilling job, and the methods that work in obtaining it have drastically changed as have the tools you need to use to get those premium positions. Your frustration is real as are the challenges you face. Knowing that, what should you do?
 

Author of
Laid Off Now What?!?
Laura Dawn Lewis

 

Listen, I've been there
and I've interviewed hundreds of others who have too. With the techniques and strategies I disclose in Laid Off, Now What?!?, you will get that job you want, ease your money issues and create a psychological fortress around yourself that will allow you to thrive, no matter what life throws at you. 

Let me help you.  Let me coach you through this. You can either spend the next four to six months trying to figure out what to do, what works, where the hiring companies are and how to get in front of them via trial and error or the school of hard knocks.

Or You can
allow me show you what works,
how to do it and what to do tonight over the next two hours, thus shaving months off your job search, hundreds off your monthly budget and weeks of frustration.

If you choose to allow me to show you the way, tomorrow you'll awaken with a plan to succeed and more importantly the ability to implement it. If you don't, you'll wake up tomorrow no better or worse off than you are right now.

Get Laid Off Now What right now and you'll be reading it and putting it into practice in the next few minutes. 

OBLITERATING THE LEARNING CURVE

I've tested these strategies with others and on myself. In fact I was hired as the Director of Marketing for tech firm in Los Angeles, one of the worst hit economies in the US, during April 2009.  I had three other offers pending at the time.  From first contact to offer letter, it was less than three weeks...just three weeks.  I made one change to my job hunting strategy and the interviews started rolling in. I tell you what this change is and how to do it in the book. 

I'm not going to promise you you'll be able to get a high paying position that quickly by reading Laid Off, Now What?!? tonight, but I will promise you that if you follow the tactics recommended, you will get that position you want far quicker than if you continued doing what you're doing now.

This is the Great Recession and procrastination isn't your friend, it will keep you mired in your current situation.  Each day that goes by, the tougher it is to land a new, good paying job in your field of choice.  You know this.  You also know being out of the workforce for some time means your skills are no longer completely current. That goes against you, not for you in an interview.  Sincerely, you cannot afford to wait.
 

"Lots of relevant info.
Tons of resources. I refer back to it all the time!"
RLreader (CA)
 

I've lived through the worst psychological and economic aspects of unemployment, gathering research by placing myself at risk so you don't have to whether we're talking about facing homelessness, not having the money to buy food, car breaking down or creditors giving you nightmares. This book series gives you the practical, psychological and economic tools you need to get through this. If you find yourself in a worse case scenario, you'll know what to expect and what to do so you can stay in control.  Knowledge mitigates fear.  It's the unknown that paralyzes us.  Laid Off Now What provides you with both knowledge and the how-to.

Don't wait.  This resource will be invaluable to you.  Read what you need, when you need it.  That's how the book is designed.

This Book Put ME Back in Control!
Reviewer: A reader from Aloha, Oregon

"This book gets to the nuts and bolts and doesn't waste time on the fluff. Within 20 minutes of reading, I had already shaved $500 off my monthly expenses. Within six days of using her inside information to landing an interview, I had one. Two weeks later I landed a new job at $30.00 an hour in Portland where the unemployment rate is 8.5%! "Laid Off Now What" helped me get control of my emotions and focus on what I needed to do. It takes the fear out of unemployment and gives you the tasks you need to get back in the game and stop feeling sorry for yourself!"

The Recession Edition

I wrote this book originally in 2002 to help people cut time off their job search and get the job they deserve while managing the issues that will torpedo your resolve: financial struggles and the psychological hell that often comes into play.  The 2002 edition sold quite well and it helped a lot of people get back to work. 

Then in 2004 a new trend emerged on the horizon: social media and peer-2-peer networking.  This new form of communication coupled with new laws implemented after September 11, 2001 have had the biggest impact on job-seeking. By 2007 most of the avenues and tactics used to find jobs over the past 100 years, were obsolete. By 2008, the world was in a global depression, with job losses and layoffs not seen at this level since the Great Depression of the 1930s.

"Tons of information on how to succeed. A Must Read!"

"Laid off Now What? goes straight to the heart of the matter and shows you how to get creditors off your back, deal with landlords and potential evictions as well as dozens of ways to find income and hidden money while unemployed. Miss Lewis does an excellent job of informing you about scams targeting the unemployed, how to use social networks to find a job and what tools are out there. This book is a road map on getting back into the workforce. Tons of information on how to succeed. A Must Read!"

Thom McFadden "Author Acting for Real"

I realized the entire book needed to be re-written and expanded to include the new techniques, scams, protocols and resources.  The original book, just 160 pages has now been expanded to four books. Each book includes an overview of all three areas: financial, psychological and job hunting strategies while focusing in-depth on a specific issue.  They can be read separately or together as a series.  Each chapter stands alone so you only need to read what you need. Get Laid Off Now What right now and you'll be reading it and putting it into practice in the next few minutes. 


In summary this book covers:

 

a) What you need to do now: 16 key steps to take the minute you think or know you may lose your job.  Do these steps and you'll shave 3-6 months off your job search!

b)  Bringing income in without jeopardizing your unemployment benefits

c)  Stretching what you have: Where to shop to get the best buys on products

d)  Hanging on to your assets: prioritizing and identifying what's worth what

e)  Protecting your key relationships including marriage

f)   Safeguarding your health and that of your family

g)  Anticipating and planning for best-and worst-case scenarios

h)   Dealing with collection agencies: What to do and how to get them off your back legally.

i)    What to do if you can't pay your rent or mortgage

j)    Directory of temporary employment agencies including what they specialize in and who uses them.

k) What to do if you can't pay your rent or mortgage Options if losing your home becomes reality

l)   Online social networks, an introduction and outline of the top10 tools

m) Identifying and avoiding the most prolific scams targeting the unemployed

n)   Hidden income you may not realize you have

o) Trends including which job-seeking tools not to waste your time and money on.

p) Background information on why this recession is so deep and factors to watch so you'll know when it will end.

q) What to do if your unemployment runs out and you've got no money left

 

Plus much, much more.  Book one, which you can purchase right now and be reading in five minutes, includes summaries of key tactics presented in books two and three covering dealing with the psychological issues of unemployment AND finding a job quickly.

Need a Job?

Even in cities where the unemployment is over 12%, we were able to find, interview and secure a $20 an hour job in 5-days using these proven techniques.  It took us four months to secure an executive position, (Director of Marketing), but just 20-days from first contact to offer letter in April 2009 in Los Angeles.

Are you tired of sending out hundreds of resumes and getting no response? 

There is a better way and you can be working, (not necessarily in your chosen profession but at least bringing money in) within the next 3-6 weeks if you know the secrets.  The first thing you must know is DO NOT GO THROUGH HUMAN RESOURCES if you want a good job fast.  The purpose of human resources in the job search is to disqualify you, not help you.  HR works for the company, not the job seeker. Unfortunately, bypassing HR is increasingly harder to do given the Patriot Act and its cousin. So what do you do?  The third book (March 2010) of Laid Off Now What explains in easy to follow language what you need to do to get to the right person, and get that interview.

In book one covering finances we give you a few tips so you don't waste your time or money on unproductive tools.  Get your money in order first.  Then fear can't control you. Get Laid Off Now What right now and you'll be reading it and putting it into practice in the next few minutes. 

What about the mind games?

By far the worse thing about being unemployed is the mind games!  How do you maintain your self-esteem?  What do you do when the "What if " game has you terrified of the future?  How can you feel like a winner when you're terrified?  Book two is all about the psychological issues. The tools are all here.  Use our little attitude adjustments and psychological fortifiers to get back on your game and project the winner you really are!

 

I wrote this book because I've been there where you are right now.  Terrified, broke, unemployed and frightened.  Everything I've learned over the past twenty-five years, what works and what doesn't, I've included in this book.  I've interviewed hundreds of job seekers, human resources professionals, hiring managers, (I've also been a hiring manager in this market), coaches, recruiters and executives to gather additional inside information.  What this series does is save you time, frustration and money by getting rid of the learning curve and giving you the tactics, tools and skills that work.

 

I'm so certain that you will find the Laid Off Now What? series a valuable tool that it comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee. If you are unsatisfied for any reason, e-mail the complete book back for a full refund. No questions asked!

I created this book because I know how hard and frustrating it is to be a  job seeker.  I've lived the fear, the loneliness, the doubts and financial hardships. I've also experienced the thrill of finally getting a job I really love and later striking out on my own to start my own company.  Laid Off Now What?!? is a true labor of love, a survival tool, your survival tool. What it does is cut the amount of time it takes to find a good job, one you'll enjoy in half by taking the learning curve of hundreds of others and teaching you what to do and what not to do.  The only question is, what is your time worth?

 

Each book in the series is structured so you can read only the sections that pertain to your situation. Each chapter stands alone.  Take what you need and don't read what you don't. The newly released 2009 edition of Laid Off Now What?!? is completely different than the original 2003 edition.  Everything has changed.  I've added several new techniques: Social media, roboforms, webfolios, Executive Marketing Firms to this series and created an entire section dealing with the many scams targeting the unemployed.  A lot of these are new.  I put myself out there and let them try to scam me so you won't fall or the same.  

 

 

All of these new issues affect your job search and are included in the new edition. The original book has been expanded by over 350 pages to accommodate these new challenges and essential tools. It got so big, we decided to split it into FOUR separate books: Book 1: Surviving Financially, Book 2: Surviving Psychologically, Book 3: Getting that new Job fast, Book 4: All Three books PLUS an entire section devoted to self-assessment tools and a workbook to assist you in determining your best course for the future.
