"The Bounce Back"  reveals how leading Career Coach Sherri Thomas and 13 other professionals and executives successfully navigated through career threatening challenges including being laid off, demoted, struggled with a bad manager or bounced from low-paying unsatisfying jobs. 

Although the book reveals the dark side of what millions of Americans are facing today which is being either unemployed, laid off or undervalued in the job market, the overall message is clearly uplifting which is, "Yes, there is life after a layoff!" and gives readers the roadmap and insider secrets to get re-hired, promoted and rebound into a more gratifying and higher paying career.

"There's so much negativity and uncertainty right now in the job market," says author and leading Career Coach Sherri Thomas, "that I wanted to publish positive success stories. I want to show professionals who are experiencing a career setback that success is still possible, and give them the confidence, inspiration and success strategies it takes to put their career back on track."

Each chapter is filled with smart, powerful strategies from the Bounce Back achievers on how they rebounded from a variety of challenges including how they told their "career story" to hiring managers, how they made gut-wrenching decisions to leave their safe but unfulfilling jobs, how they contacted their network to get job leads, referrals and recommendations, how they customized their resume, and the courageous steps they took to land in a more meaningful, purposeful and even higher-salaried career.  This is a must-read for any professional or executive who experienced a setback and wants a more meaningful and fulfilling career.
