Blindsided Offers Practical Advice

This book addresses the two subjects I dread most - unemployment and financial advice.This is a tough subject area that I would rather avoid, but the tone of this book made it an easy - and somehow an uplifting - read! The author communicates through a strong, positive and focused voice that offers very practical advice.It offers both an understanding, empathic ear and an effective game plan! Who couldn't use that?I strongly recommend the book - for the employed and unemployed -because it will inevitably happen to us all!Thanks for the advice!

Surviving Unemployment

This timely book provides essential guidance for surviving the financial crisis of unemployment. With lay off's prevalent across the nation, Ms. Milligan's focused approach to "problem solving" the financial challenges of unemployment can benefit all who take the time to read. The book reads easily, and the "My Best Advice" sections provide succinct guidance. The tone of the book acknowledges the pain and despair which accompany being "suddenly unemployed", but firmly guides the reader towards the future and provides the tools necessary to make informed decisions about all aspects of one's personal finances along the way.
