Relief for Career Women Anxious About Changing Jobs in a Recession

With U.S. unemployment at its highest rate in 26 years, more women are staying in jobs that in better economic times they would have left. A new book, Make Every Day a Friday!, helps women make career changes, big or small. The author used the 'stress-free system" to change her own Wall Street career. With the system, women can use the recession as a career opportunity.

(PRWEB) May 14, 2009 -- With U.S. unemployment at its highest rate in 26 years, women are sticking to careers or jobs that in better economic times they would have left.

As a result, many are joining the 50% of Americans who are unhappy with their careers.

To solve this problem comes the book, Make Every Day a Friday! The Joy of Connecting Who You Are With What You Do, written by Marina Spence, CEO of the The Pink Edge, and published by Morgan-James.

Make Every Day a Friday! helps women who feel stuck in their careers to make changes, big or small. It reveals a stress-free system of change, which includes three "inner keys."

Spence developed the stress-free system when she felt trapped in a Wall Street career that she no longer enjoyed. She road-tested the principles, first with herself and then with other women.

"What makes Make Every Day a Friday! unique," she says, "is that it shows how to unite the head and the mind in change."

When asked for the top three ways that women can make every day a Friday, Spence gave these:

1.   Pinpoint exactly what you don't like about your current job. Sometimes we say we hate everything about it, when there might just be two or three things. Knowing exactly what you don't like can lead to informed change.

2.   Start small. Congratulate yourself for your baby steps, if that's how you begin. Always, move at your own pace.

3.   Find your "guiding star." Locate the woman who's leading the life you'd like to live, and who inspires you to say, "if she can do it, I can do it."

Spence encourages women to use the recession as a career opportunity. "This is a perfect time to explore, plan, and start, in small ways, what's next for you," she said.
