4.0 out of 5 stars 1 rating

Practical, inspiring and empowering tips and strategies every job hunter and career changer needs to know


Are you showing signs of job dissatisfaction? Did you wake up this morning excited to face the day ahead? Or did the thought of getting up and going to work make you wish you could stay in bed? If Monday mornings are a low point in your week, it may be a sign that it’s time for a new career.

Often you know what you want subconsciously before you know it consciously. While you may still be debating whether or not to stay in your job, your subconscious mind may have already decided it’s time for you to move on. The trouble is, you may not know what to do. You may be like so many career changers who say, “I could do anything if only I knew what it was.”

Perhaps your job is making you sick. Common signs of neglecting your happiness and feeling trapped in a job that you don’t enjoy can include:

  • Headaches
  • Insomnia
  • Tiredness
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Low self-esteem
  • Lack of confidence
  • Irritability and other warning signs.

It’s not surprising you may be struggling to get the energy or confidence needed to successfully find a new job or make a career change.

Mid-Life Career Rescue will help take the stress out of making a change, confirm your best-fit career and give you the confidence to move toward your preferred future.

Review

"More and more people today, either through choice or necessity, are looking for new and more fulfilling ways of working and earning their livings. Old ways are breaking down. Today, sacrificing your deeper passions for the security of a paycheck is no guarantee of security. Following your heart and deeper self is the new security. In this book, Cassandra helps you find your work, inspiring you to consider new possibilities, gently guiding you beyond limiting thinking, and helping you find your own true self and authentic work."

Nick Williams, Author of The Work We Were Born to Do: Find the Work You Love, Love the Work You Do

"Stop. Don't leave your job and start a business until you've read this book. I was pleased to see Cassandra tackle the real challenges starting a business poses. Things like finding the right business, how to start with little or no money, and how to leverage it to create a great lifestyle, to name a few. If you get to a stage in your life where you want to leave your job and start a business, this book will help you. Each chapter focuses on one highly practical aspect of starting your own business."

Barry Watson, Author of #1 best-seller Relationship Rehab

"This book has given me another kick up the bum, to write it all down, work from the end result backward, envisage the 'as if' and build the staircase I need to climb."

Cate Walker, 5-Star Review

"Makes you think and offers strategies to make it work! I met Cassandra about 17 years ago after being made redundant--the advice she gave me and the challenges she threw at me even then have remained in my psyche and continue to give me motivation. So reading her books it's easy to hear her voice, continuing on with that motivation. I usually skip reading other people's stories as many of them don't translate to real life for me. But many in this book resonated, in particular, the opportunity that I have to follow not just one passion, but I can follow all three, and make them work! With ageism alive and well, I've had so many rejections for job opportunities that it's a matter of survival that you have to tread your own path--find opportunities for yourself. This book has given me the confidence that I CAN make it work."

L.A. Brown, 5-Star Review
