Unemployed: A Journey Through the Dark Woods (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781462400195)

Losing your job feels the same - whether it's that of an executive, a manager, a factory worker, or a store clerk... Christa's metaphor of being lost in a dark forest perfectly illustrates this experience.... Read Christa's insightful book and feel understood! Learn from her insights and see how to make it through. ... Dr. Stephen L. Sokolow, Executive Director of the Center for Empowered Leadership

As Dr. Christa openly shares, her time of unemployment was an emotionally devastating experience... The rich fruit of her sensitive and thoughtful reflections is the treasure contained in this book... An added benefit ... is that the lessons about job loss have relevance ... for any kind of loss you might experience, such as the death of a loved one, the break-up of a relationship, or the loss of your health.... Dr. Wilkie Au, professor of Theological Studies at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles

Anyone who is unemployed, or knows someone who is, needs to read Christa's story - told from journals she kept during her job loss. She depicts the stark realities of this experience with humor and insights gained from looking back years later and seeing how this dark journey led her to light. This would be a great gift book from a caring friend! Serena Santillanes, MS, National Certified Counselor (NCC), Master Career Counselor (MCC), President and Founder of Career Journeys, Inc.

Many years ago, when what befell Christa happened to me, I wish I'd had her book on my bedside table. My own painful transition into a new life would have been far, far easier. Robert W. Cole, Proprietor, Edu-Data, Former President, Educational Press Association of America
