Navigating Career Choices and Change During Uncertain Economic Times

Professor explains proper positioning is key to weathering unpredictable job loss

ANDOVER, Kan., Jan. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Recently terminated employees may question how they could have prevented it. The more important question, answered in a new practical book about resiliency during career upheaval, might be how to bounce back after a job loss occurs.

In "The 6ixth Evolution," former CEO and associate professor of management Dr. Larry G. Straub provides a formula for evaluating strengths and weaknesses, in the face of uncertain career shifts, such as layoffs and job changes. By completing survey questions, readers can learn how to prepare for turbulent times and be primed for success.

"You can minimize the damage, when losing a job," Straub said. "It's like we're all on the same white-knuckled flight when we lose a job. The difference for my readers is they will have a figurative seatbelt on, while others will be flying around the cabin."

Through the exploration of five work-related environments, readers are offered tools to assess their skills for building sustainable lives and careers in increasingly challenging times. Finding the right pathway is particularly key for those in college, as well as those in early and mid-career stages.

"As a society, we are required to be adaptable, by reinventing and repositioning our lives, as well as our careers, for unpredictable landscapes," Straub said. "By following the formula presented, readers will be able to explore future opportunities and face the challenges of career management, in times of exponential change."
