Booklife by Publisher's Weekly

 Publishers Weekly's November BookLife supplement published on November 23, 2020 


"In  this timely and informative volume, Australian author Philip  Kent-Hughes lays out a sensible roadmap for the newly unemployed reeling  from the Covid-19 pandemic and its accompanying economic downturn.  Kent-Hughes himself lost his job as a result of the pandemic—and given  that it wasn’t his first time being made redundant, he decided to  leverage his expertise in writing crisis management plans for large  organizations to provide a blueprint for the newly unemployed. Aiming to  give shell-shocked readers the ability to take a deep breath and plunge  back into job hunting, 


Kent-Hughes  methodically explains how to explore new career options if the reader’s  current industry is devastated, ways to manage finances and inevitable  stressors while job seeking, and methods for filling resumés with  keywords that will entice prospective employers (and make it past  automated screening systems).  Kent-Hughes organizes his book in an  easy-to-understand format, assisting readers looking for a specific  topic (such as emergency and crisis planning, interviews, creating  resumes, and developing new career paths) to immediately find it. He  also includes eminently practical tools, such as budgeting and  application tracking templates, and lists career-minded websites  (including Indeed and LinkedIn) designed to propel job leads. 

Kent-Hughes’s  empathetic tone will go a long way toward calming spooked readers who  are worried about both their paychecks and the virus. Any reader trying  to muscle through pandemic-related unemployment will find practical,  plainspoken, and logical advice in Kent-Hughes’s well-written guide. 


Takeaway: Kent-Hughes’s empowering counsel will give readers the confidence and  the tools needed to seek new jobs and to overcome the anxiety of sudden  unemployment. 


Great for fans of: Richard Nelson Bolles’s What Color is Your Parachute?, Steve Dalton’s The Two-Hour Job Search, Jon Acuff’s Do Over."
