Deer in the Headlamps

Résumé du livre

Deer in the Headlamps is one man's story about dealing with long-term unemployment in the current bad economy, his struggles with self-doubt and fear, and his eventual triumph over these feelings. Ray takes the side of the unemployed, expresses their deepest feelings, rages at the systems that have let them down, and proposes not only ways of coping, but practical methods of finding work. Interspersed with all this are stories from Ray's past that are meant to entertain within the overall context and bring out principles of human behavior directly and indirectly tied to the issues people face when unemployed. Deer in the Headlamps is not another "how to" book on job hunting and career development; it is more than this--a manifesto for the unemployed in a country that offers little support and too often ignores the pain and danger these people face every day.
