"I'm a Certified Health Education Specialist with a master’s degree in Public Health Education and more than 30 years’ experience in a variety of settings—community, association, government, medical care, and research.  Because most of my positions have been on funded projects, I have been forced to go through the job search process every few years.  In spite of the numerous times I have done this, and the many books I have read and workshops I have attended, I learned a tremendous amount from the “Fireproof Your Career Guide.”  It provides a very user-friendly, step-by-step approach to being proactive in today’s job market.  The kit is amazingly comprehensive, yet divided into “bite-size” manageable pieces.  The authors strike a nice balance between recommending a disciplined approach while offering a warm supportive environment.  The “Fireproof Your Career Guide” would be a valuable investment for both active job-seekers and those who feel secure in their current job situations.”  Emily Glazer, M.S. - CHES

“The FireProof Your Career Guide makes a convincing, sometimes surprising, case that, whether or not people currently have jobs, they need to take charge of their own careers. With a good-natured approach, the Guide provides useful suggestions for doing just that. For people looking for jobs, it lays out a path to overcome the emotional hurdles that loom. I especially appreciated the MasterMind guidebook, which gives straightforward instructions for setting up and maintaining a customized support group.”  Julie Miller - science editor

Typical Employee Scenarios:

Steve Gets Serious About Career Security
 

Steve, an IT technician, heard rumors at work about off-shoring.  He didn't say anything to his wife, but they didn't have any savings so he worried. When he thought of looking for a new job, he wondered if his skills were cutting edge.  He had been in a professional association, but had let his membership lapse. He didn't even like his job any more. He wondered if he should change careers. 

Steve is typical of the people who buy the ToolKit.

He says, "I'd read the signals right -- I got a pink slip.  But I'd started using the ToolKit four months before I was laid off. 

"The Career Security Profile showed me the areas I needed to work on fast. I re-joined my professional association and 3 of us who were worried about layoffs met regularly to research what recruiters were looking for. We helped each other decide what skills needed up-dating. I networked in the association and uncovered several job leads. By the time I was laid off, I had a rich network that was letting me know about opportunities.
 
"The ToolKit was my guidebook - using it I knew I'd covered all the bases. I'm confident that I'm creating long-term career security for myself.   My wife and I spent time working on our finances, setting prorities. We researched franchise opportunities and looked at other career options. We'll continue to do that.  But yesterday, I got another job in IT -- this time it's in management."

Theresa Drives Her Own Career

When a friend lost her job after a merger, Theresa began to wonder if it could happen to her. She bought the FireProof Your Career ToolKit.  Taking the Career Security Profile, she realized she was vulnerable in 3 of the 5 FireProofing areas: 
She'd let her credit card balances balloon. 
Most of her contacts were inside her own company. 
She'd left her career path up to her employer.

She got to work, payed down her credit cards, joined her alumni association to meet people in various careers, and set up a desk in the corner of her family room as "Career Planning Central." 

Theresa's a typical ToolKit buyer.

She says. "My company hasn't gone through a merger or layoff yet, but I know when it happens, I'll be ready. The FireProof Your Career ToolKit put me back in the driver's seat. I got my old confidence back and set off in my own career direction. "The questions in 'Is A Layoff Likely?' were a wake-up call. They showed me I have to keep an eye on what's happening in my industry, as well as in my company.  The help I got from the networking strategy got me out of my cubicle and taught me the value of building relationships inside and outside my company."
