Fired at Fifty: Stop Looking for Work And Discover What You Were Meant To Do
by Christine Till
About the Book
Twenty years ago, a book about being fired after one reaches a certain age would be a ridiculous and irrelevant idea, but today, it is a resource that is badly needed. There is much talk these days about how hard it is to find a job as a fresh post-secondary graduate, but life is hard on the other end of the spectrum too. Finding a job in one’s 50’s can be just as hard, if not harder, than finding a job in one’s 20’s. Christine provides invaluable tools in this book to help those fired at fifty to stop looking for work and discover how their valuable life skills can be turned into a business.
“I highly recommend Fired at Fifty as a handbook for those of us Seniors who feel worried, even fearful, and are looking for practical advice and guidance from someone who has earned the right and who really cares about her readers and clients.”
— Robin J. Elliott (www.LeverageAdvantage.com)
“Christine’s book awakens us to realize that we must remember how truly great we are. As we lead ourselves from the heart, we open up to receiving the greatest love imaginable.”
— Betska K-Burr, Exectuve Master Coach, Best-Selling Author
“I’ve heard it said that ‘breakdowns lead to breakthroughs’ and Christine Till has offered ‘Fired at Fifty’ as more than ample evidence. She’s honest, passionate and engaging with her message.”
— Qin Al De (amazon.ca review)
