The dream of a high-paying, secure, lifetime job has faded for many Americans. Crane, who runs her own career services company, presents compelling evidence that the changes in today's workplace that have ended the dream are irreversible. She asserts that all workers must therefore learn to "think of your career as a 'business' and make business decisions for your career." Early chapters cover global concerns: dealing with layoffs, new approaches to compensation, and education and training issues. Especially valuable are the concise, readable chapters offering sound advice for those with particular concerns, like new college graduates, minorities, older workers, and women. The final portion of the book outlines an active approach to the job search. This title provides a good place to start for those who ask, "Why is this happening to me?" Highly recommended.
