![]() Flying Solo: Career Transition Tips for Singles $16.95 Changing careers is a daunting challenge, even when you are surrounded by supportive friends and family. Especially in these rocky times. So how does a single someone ever consider the possibility? First, long before actually making any moves, he or she reads Flying Solo: Career Transition Tips for Singles by Hallie Crawford, a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) who works with clients to find direction and identify their ideal careers. The first chapter answers the question, "How do I know when it's time to go?" Crawford presents eight red flags that signal the answer. Flag #1 - You dread getting out of bed in the morning . . . every morning. Flag #4 - You start to slack off at work and have little or no motivation to perform. Flag #8 - You regularly fantasize about quitting your job, being fired or let go. It isn't necessary to experience all the flags. In fact, Crawford says, "If any of these red flags are waving at you, it is probably time to seriously consider changing jobs. . ." But Flying Solo is not just a guide to deciding if it's time to make a career change; it is also a plan for doing so. Written in a clear, conversational tone, many of the suggestions are built on common sense. The book's value lies in putting order and structure to the process. It addresses the broader challenges to be considered. These include maintaining financial stability during the transition period, sustaining emotional and mental focus, and enrolling people in support of a career change. It also addresses the traditional career-change tools such as the resume and the job interview. When someone has been out of the job market a while, a review of these requisites is always helpful. To underscore her points, Crawford uses success stories from singles in transition that she has coached. Certainly, one need not hire her to use the book effectively, but it is an added benefit to know that her services are available, in case those red flags seem insurmountable.
