    Starting Over: The No BS Playbook: How to Land a New Job After 10+ Years With One Employer Whether You Chose to Leave or Were Forced Out

    Stop being a "lifer" and start being the owner of your future. If you’ve spent fifteen, twenty, or thirty years at the same company, you haven't just had a job—you’ve had a lifestyle. You have occupied a specific ecosystem where you were a known quantity, safe and comfortable. But when that world disappears, whether you walked away with a gold watch or were escorted out with a cardboard box, you face the Lifer’s Paradox: to your old company, you were an indispensable keeper of tribal knowledge; to a modern recruiter, you might look like a red flag. Starting Over: The No BS Playbook is the essential deprogramming manual for professionals who have become "institutionalized" by long-term tenure. It’s time to strip away the corporate logo and realize your true market value isn't based on loyalty, but on the portable, high-impact skills you’ve spent decades mastering. This isn't just a career book; it’s a tactical roadmap for the modern, fast-paced job market.  Available for a limited time for Kindle for $.99
