About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
You need a solid game plan to land your next job and manage your career.
Halftime Adjustments tells the story of Don Michel, who after eighteen and a half years of successful and dedicated service to the same company found himself without a chair when the music stopped during a round of corporate restructuring.
Eleven days shy of his 40th birthday, Don walked out of company headquarters for the last time, and then headed to his personal locker room. Once inside, he crafted a game plan to manage the second half of his career yet to come.
Don’s “Keys to Victory” form the foundation of a strategy to help professionals find their next job, as well as manage their career for long-term success.

Remove the emotion from a job loss
Break the news to your family and friends
Engage your network to help you get back in the game
Develop a personal promotion arsenal
Conduct an effective job search
Position yourself for career success
Halftime Adjustments is designed to read conversationally, as if the author and reader are sharing advice and stories during a casual conversation over a cup of coffee.
