Most people realize that the employment deal has changed: the days of lifetime employment, or even a clear trajectory up the corporate ladder, are long gone. Dozens of surveys merely quantify what we all know--that education, hard work, and loyalty are no longer enough to guarantee job security. People in mid-career today want to take greater control of their working lives for many reasons. But they are not sure of how to do that in a working world. In The Mid-Career Success Guide, Sally Power draws from her research in management and career development to explain the sources and implications of these trends, and provide solutions to the challenges they present. The book introduces the "Employability Plus" model, an approach to career management that leaves behind the traditional job- or organization-centric perspectives by focusing on the individual's "work," as a portfolio of skills that can be shaped to their interests and to their employers' needs and desires.
