Customer Reviews

ROAD MAP TO THE FUTURE
Janet Davies's book reads like a road map from redundancy to finding a new future. She's done meticulous research, and there are valuable pointers in it on the legal problems, the financial headaches, and the daunting challenges of setting up your own business, along with advice on networking and writing cv's in the search for a new job. And best of all - she never sounds dejected! Put it this way - a tenner spent on this book would be better spent than several thousand pounds in the pockets of some employment agency.

A Redundant Customer
After receiving the shock of being told I was to be made redundant following 9 years in a company I purchased this book. I have not looked back! It is so motivational I could not put it down and I read it in a day, then went back and re-read it again this time doing all the exercises over the next week. I am so excited to be faced with so many options that I had not thought of. Forget paying £thousands on careers counselling - buy this book instead and save the money. My copy is now filled with sticky notes and highlighted parts and I now realise the world is my oyster!

Redundancy effects made positive by Janet
Having met Janet I can see why the book goes down so well. Janet has a real talent for taking the stigma and stress away from redundancy and makes the reader feel like they have been given a chance to change the direction of their working life completely with a few easy steps and actions...it does what it says on the tin!!
